Detailed Features

You can now change the number of rows and columns from the settings screen. Whether you want larger icons or to display more apps at once, you can flexibly adjust the layout to match your use case.

We improved how images are displayed and how aspect ratios are handled so icons and thumbnails look more natural. We also revised the grid limits so the app works comfortably on a variety of screen sizes.
