    There are 2 really useful features missing that would make this perfect. 1. Folders in the app drawer to let me group apps I use most in one place. Yes, I can search for the app, but a folder up top with all my online banking apps (for example) gives quick access. Two taps, rather than typing. 2. Hide apps in the app drawer. It gets cluttered with setting apps for widget packs that I don't need to see in the drawer. Otherwise... awesome!

    Recently the OS has been completely broken. I have to restart my phone multiple times a day because the back button and home button no longer work, and the keyboard no longer comes up when I enter a text field. I have a Pixel 3 and it's not usable. Although i have had a solid experience up to this point, I would not recommend pixel at this time. Please fix it.

    The news feed to the left of the home screen is absolutely useless, should be replaceable with the assistant snapshot or customizable with widgets. The search bar also feels very slow.

    The keyboard appears, but the text field that I'm trying to type into doesn't adjust, so I'm constantly going back and forth to review the message for syntax and a PO elling mistakes; the virtual home and back buttons at the bottom refuse to go away, making any app that uses that bottom section for commands is functions totally horrible. This all started on the recent Android update. Worst update ever. Thanks Micros...err Google

    It's inconvenient for me and when I don't want to use it, I set the default launcher to nova, but the system keeps going back to pixel launcher. I don't want to use it anymore, but I can't disable it at all.

    I like the minimalist nature of it, but I hate the fact I can't remove the search bar. I also agree with another reviewer that Snapshot is a better choice for the left panel. Please make these things customizable!
