I've only used it for a day, but so far I am really enjoying it. I lived the Windows Phone interface, so this is right up my alley. However, I can't get down with the recurring payment concept for an Android Launcher. If it weren't for that, I would most definitely purchase the app. But can't rationalize paying money every month for a phone launcher. Make a one time payment option of $5 or $6, and I'll give it 5 stars.
I have been using this app almost since it's released ..works awesome.Best windows launcher ever. Just a small request here, I'm using it currently on my S9 plus updated to Android 10 and I'm missing gesture navigation. Can you guys please add support for this in the next update ? It defaults to navigation bar disabling gestures on Android 10. I'm sure all Android 10 devices would have this behavior. It would be great if you can fix this in next release .Thank you so much for your efforts.Kudos!
The big bummer about this app is that your notifications aren't seen anywhere, maybe once in a while in your phones notification bar. Please fix that. Forreal. And the first set of tiles you get when you install is my favorite to use, except they're transparent and you can't make them solid colors
Terrible app. Definitely was worth a try. It doesn't even look like windows phone so really do what you're going to do anyway and waste your time downloading it then uninstalling it one second later. Wonderful so no stars!
Has been excellent for the past few years on different phones. Latest update just now keeps crashing and shows nothing. OnePlus5T - Android 8. Please provide a reply and link to a previous version until this is fixed. Thank you!
Overall its a good launcher and i like it. But there are some bugs which need to be solved specially regarding notifications. As the lock screen does't show any message and missed calls.
Best windows phone UI app. Smooth n quick response interface.. Best user interface for phones. Needs some improvements and fixes but still works without any problem so everyone should try this app,l. You will definitely like this app if u r a fan of simplicity.
The Best Launcher app I have ever seen. All Things is Good Keep it Up. Only One Issue Please Improve the notification bar because I cant see notifications in this launchers notification bar. So please improve it quickly. Thank You.
4/20 update. Still better than the rest it, but.... Must fixes: Changing icons still don't work. Saving and restoring themes still don't work. Would be nice:. Add lock desktop from settings to prevent accidental tile moves Special and custom widgets don't seem to work well now since I got a new phone. Was great until I applied a new theme then found I could not apply my saved theme that I spent hours creating. I can see it but no button to apply it. Now the icons don't work.
Found a trick hahahahaha I didn't set it as a default home screen setup everything and then when I cleared up all the apps by sliding it and returning to my default moto homescreen I now have a cool new windows slider dock it doesn't goes away when you close the app
Awesome Launcher! Great App. But Still have some major issues! Loved The Windows Live Tile UI..It's undoubtedly the best looking homescreen layout ever created for mobile devices!!! But Please developers, upgrade this great launcher! I highly request you to add more customizations. And please enable themes,icons & font customization options.
my all time favourite launcher. however the function to delete pictures in live photos no longer works. it does nothing on long press. kindly solve this problem as soon as possible.
Awesome app, looks great. Gives you the best of Windows and Android. Only problem is in live picture, unable to remove the tile photo once selected.
Please fix icons and long press picture for live tiles. Too many errors in this version. Fix those and then this app will be a 5 star. Beautiful design capabilities.
The launcher is what i been looking for. Microsoft windows style. Would be great if there is a function to add bookmark shortcut to home screen.
I was using this app few years back . Now I bought a new phone but its not working as it was working earlier. None of the wallpaper theme icons are getting downloaded .and lockscreen system is not working properly.
I paid for the PRO version years ago and now it wants me to pay again to be a VIP user! I have seen other people post the same thing and get a reply from the developer telling the user to contact them and they would be given a key. I have done this twice now and still have not received even a reply.
App is good works well looks good but uses resorses showes running up to 8 timts. Need to be able to lock the desktop setup to avoid accedental movement of desktop icons.
can you fix some issues? i keeping get "errors when get information" notification while i wanna change icon. please fix this bug there's another issues. apps are not shown according to the alphabet. for example, youtube apps is in the F alphabet. please fix this issue
there are some errors in this launcher which must need to be fix. Firstly apps are not showing according to there Word eg: camera in W . And new Install apps are not showung few errors something like that other wise it is very good launcher i ever seen no doubt about that
constantly crashes on OnePlus6... not sure why.. i didnt get to a point wherr i could even see the launcher in action.. it was crashing in the setting up phase itself
I love this app! I make my own buttons using 1940 pin up illustrations and I get compliments all the time. I love that I can use my art skills that reflect my personality on my phone. Thanks for such a great app!
Actually, before 2 or 3 years the launcher was good, the marketplace was full and it was refreshable. Now it's doing NOTHING, how?!? Well it's shuffling apps around them selves, in letter G I found apps with letter F and in letter F I found apps in letter Q, I wish Windows Phone return...
I really love it... no ads disturbance and very beautiful launcher.. the beauty of it is your creativity.. you can download beautiful themes and edit them to suit your spec.. it my favourite app.
Very bad app keeps telling u to connect the windows and when u connect the windows ur device keeps Turning off I uninstall but it's still telling me to connect I hate this app delete it!!!!! Everyone and this should not be available in Google play
Not as good as the original, but not expected to be! Functional and asthetic for sure. When operations / interactions mimic Windows 100%, I'll happily give 5 stars.
Really great launcher; the closest approximation of the Windows Phone among all the other launchers available. However, there's just one teensy problem: The apps are sorted in reverse! For example, apps starting with A are included in Z and so on... If this is not fixed soon, I will be forced to let go of this launcher and revert to my previous one.
