I use to use to use Evie but then got Samsung Fold and it's not really handling two screens well. But overall it's a great no nonsense launcher.
Edit: Removed fraudulent link!
So apparently the one you linked is indeed fake, it's made by someone called "ManDeep". The real Evie launcher died three years ago and was taken off the Play Store, and there have been a few fakes since then.
I would advice removing your link ASAP and uninstall it from your device, who knows what permissions you've granted it and what nefarious activities it's been upto...
Right, I remember something being with it, I thought Google Play store was just being weird for me. Thanks. Removed the link. I never had this version installed.
Damn, this almost gave me a heart attack as I am currently using Evie.
It seems that I got it when the app was still up in the Play store and seems legitimate, though.
I forgot about Evie. Nice to see that it's still being updated.
Edit: 2.2 rating on the Play Store, people are saying it's filled with adverts and not the real Evie launcher, wtf?!
Yeah, I found out the same thing. Granted I haven't used Evie in about a year or so, since I got Fold4. Too bad. It was a great launcher.
