I have read the FAQs inside the app (Menu -> About -> FAQs) and my problem isn't listed.
I have taken the time to fill in all the required details. I understand that the request will be dismissed otherwise.

I have read and understood the contribution guidelines.

It would be nice if the launcher could (optionally?) display archived apps (https://support.google.com/android/answer/15523443) and even add them to the home screen etc.

I had this before switching to the Fossify Launcher and was surprised by apps having "gone missing".

But more important perhaps, listing all the apps seems useful, otherwise one has to go via settings to see all.
