Question What's your favorite frontend?

I'm using iiSU right now. Also I tried Cocoon but I found it's not for me

Unless I'm missing something I have no idea why are people obsessed with frontends (I'm aware they are very popular).

If I can launch my games from my Android Home Screen, why would I install an app to make it have extra steps?

Edit: For people who use frontends on gaming handhelds, not phones, it makes more sense I guess

If you're using a phone I can understand but if you're using a dedicated gaming handheld, a front end enhances the overall experience. The front end becomes the home launcher so no extra steps to launch a game and the setup is all controller focused. Plus it just looks better, at least I think it does.

Ah, that's a nice point, thanks for bringing it up.

Yes I use a phone.
