Ratings and reviews

Probably the best implementation of the late Windows Mobile start screen. It has all the bells and whistles you'd expect and, to a casual user, looks the closest to Windows Mobile you'll get. Unfortunately, it's not perfect. Some of the animations are not the same or get cut off (such as the opening an app animation), and it suffers from absurd amounts of memory leaks causing it to crash often. But if you want that Windows Mobile experience this is the launcher to get.

Outstanding app for those of us who have been on WM for years and have liked the interface. Very nicely done! However, the calendar live tile needs work. It is not conforming to default calendar notification settings. Events that are always displayed 10 days in advance ruins the ability to be notified in a timely and useful manner. It's my only real gripe with the app, since this aspect behaves nothing like it did on Windows mobile (which was one day in advance of the event).

Considering how much I loved my lumia 950 and how upset I still am that support was more or less dropped by Microsoft, I would say this is an awesome and accurate alternative that keeps the home screen and app list function like W10 mobile spot on with some added features like full customization of each app icon and box/folder. There are ads that I only seem to notice in the settings menu that you can get rid of for a buck, and there IS LIVE TILES (calendar, clock, notifications, etc.). The latter feature costs ~6$ I believe but it's your call how true you want to emulate the live tiles feature. I do wish it was more wholesome to include email and some other apps (please consider adding in the future). Overall I'm quite pleased and it hasn't been buggy so far unlike some other launchers I've used in the past. I was currently using the Microsoft launcher just prior to this so performance wise they are on par with eachother.
