Lacks a search function and sub categories or folders would be nice #30

Hello, first of all, thank you for developing this.

Using this for about a week now, I wanted to feedback that categories are nice for keeping things tidy, however when you know which app you want, scrolling feels slower than typing the first few letters or especially if you're unsure where it is.

Secondly I ended up cutting down on the amount of categories to avoid it being over complicated, but then without a search function I constantly couldn't find apps. I think sub categories or the ability to use folders may help with regards to this.

I would love if there was the ability to also set tags in addition to categories. For example some apps do multiple things, like an app that has a sound and light meter, if one likes to have sound/audio tools in one place, it's not going to work. Having the ability to tag apps and have the tag bubble appear just under the list may help with this.

Hi, thanks for the suggestions! I agree these would be nice and useful features. For tags, I wouldn't implement them in addition to categories, but instead of categories (in other words, I'd allow apps to belong to multiple categories).

Unfortunately, I can't prioritize these features.

@Savasdotexe, If you set Blue Line Console as your digital assistant app, you get a nice app search popup when holding the home button.
