its good, minimal, aesthetic. but i dont like they way it shows widgets and maximum number of apps i can show in home screen is only 4. for a big screen phone, it doesnt look well. i understand its like that because it should be minimal, but it would had been better if i could put 8 apps in the home screen for productivity
