Like the Wave Launcher in TealOS and webOS, TealWheel gives you instant access to your applications, but with a supercharged new spin that makes traditional launchers almost obsolete. With five separate wheels, each with twelve customizable icons each, you'll almost never need to return to a full launcher again. Each icon is programmable to launch your choice of applications, perform special functions, or act as an automatically updated history list. TealWheel fully supports operation both by stylus and 5-way navigator. With all this power and flexibility, TealWheel is not just evolutionary, it's revolutionary.
feg30: does not work and when it does its confusing, do not see how it helps.
luvtub: Er..nice job with the Version History, there.
coreyspalm700p: very unsatisfied.definately not for me atleast.its a shame tealOS had to be discontinued.
edes: Great, innovative, but becomes a real nuisance when using it for too much time, download the free trial to try it, but only buy it if you really liked it and are dependable on it.
NickMaltese: worst launcher ever do not download it screws up your phone
bigslanki: this is the worst thing i have ever seen...dont bother google teal os and you might find it on piratebay Full version
