This app is really feature packed An amazing piece of work It s settings are quite exhaustive There is something for everyone s taste and typing style So far I m pretty pleased with the relevance of its suggestions both as I type and swipe and make corrections I like that I don t have to select the word to use upper lower case options but one problem I find is that long press on a word selects the whole text instead of the word The clipboard is really cool Thumbs up on both hands                     Oliver Lawrence

Been using it on and off for a while now It s great for those tied into the Microsoft ecosystem i e heavy users of Windows 10 and Office 365 I love how I can access my sticky notes tasks and documents right from the home screen Although this app is full of nifty features it really lacks polish The animations are janky settings keep switching back to defaults it lags even on high end phones The team should focus on improving these aspects of the experience before adding more features             Samiuddin Ahmed

I love this launcher becos it suits my personalization style The reason I gave this 2 stars is becos of its unstable behavior it suddenly crashed from time to time Please fix this Edit downgraded to 1 star because it happens every time I reboot my phone my wallpaper is being forced zoom I feel frustrated that I have to readjust my wallpaper every time I restart my phone     aZaZeL TV

Fantastic launcher snappy and stylish the calendar notes and task integrations are great and the app drawer is one of the best I ve used Gestures are also well designed The only faults that I can point out are that launcher options don t adjust layout correctly between landscape portrait leaving areas hidden in landscape and the search bar doesn t seem to reserve space on the home screen and newly added app shortcuts will be placed below the widget instead of around it                 Kevin Baynham

Best launcher I ve used Update since a few weeks my widgets don t work any more They still show u0026 update but i can t tap on them They just don t respond at all App shortcuts are fine widgets no go I ll have to go back to either the stock launcher or my previous favourite Apex which is a shame as I loved the MS integration heavy O365 user         Sander Koop

I ve decided to edit review after using it for a couple of months It runs very well however after a week or more it gets unstable and had to reset it again When it happens everything goes black and you cannot do much to help it To overcome this I for the first had to change my default launcher and clear the data of MS Launcher and launch it again It ran about 16 days without crashing and again boom the 17th It offers so few things as compared to its huge size I hope it helps to improve             Madan Dahal

Great launcher Aesthetically clean I really like how it looks and flows The options for customization are great too The time and weather widget is far superior to the default Samsung widget on the Galaxy S7 edge Close integration with Windows 10 PC Minus 1 star for the partially functioning app notification counter and Bing wallpaper pushiness If I could go back in time I would download the Microsoft launcher over the Nova launcher and buying Tesla unread                 DaOne EnOnly

It was a good launcher But then it started to change things without listening to the users I don t want background color on my folders How hard is to listen to users I ll use another Launcher and don t intend to try this again Update Sadly I don t belive it We rate the app and give feedback expecting improvements to the app But the folder background colors and the rearrange groups icons still have problems I m done giving free feedback for nothing I was only trying to improve it     Vandrey Trindade

Whilst this is one of the best Launcher on the planet I noticed a bug within the Launcher after the latest updates When swiping bottom up to get into menu or app drawers list Google Launcher reappeared I have to either reboot or relaunch Microsoft Launcher to get it back This didn t happen before latest updates and now it s starting to get annoying Otherwise this Microsoft Launcher is awesome and love it with my Office 365 account                 Rick Corrigan, Jr.

Productivity oriented Keep it up Also that Icon provided for Calendar is brilliant updates itself to indicate the Day Intresting one Tried certain other launchers but to stay productive this launcher app has been the best ally in this era of distractions and losing the sense of Screen Time spent otherwise spent as under productive                     AK Patil

This is one of the top launchers available in playstore But the recent updates are really bad The widgets don t work properly and home screen fails to load at times This forced me to switch to Nova launcher Developers look into the recent updates and release a more stable one Changing my review from 4 to 3             AJMAL KHAN

It s almost there Little things such as the app drawer and settings not resetting after you exit It s really almost there It takes some customization to make it shine but it s a beautiful app Love the Glance view My schedules and important tasks are a swipe away Well done Microsoft                 Alex Musyoka

This is the best launcher I have ever used I could never think of such type of launcher really exists in play store It has eveything gestures it shows news it also gives us time line It also forecast weather report I feel like I have a advanced phone This launcher always surprise me Thankyou microsoft Keep going on                     Prakash jode

Not quite ready to rate the this launcher I just loaded it yesterday I am still figuring it all out I think am going to like it BUT I ve had a few glitches where my phone has frozen or response was delayed The Outlook email app gave me the most issues after loading the Microsoft Launcher u0026 I haven t ever had any issues with it before So I will reserve judgement till I know for sure if it is the launcher or just a coincidence             LeAnn Wilson

Critical Network issue I ve repeatedly notice from the day i installed this app that sometimes it shows No sim card My analysis on this is that may be it s issue whenever network not available at some places like lift or any basement and later on when we come to network area it show the issue And once i restart phone then it works fine Please resolve it ASAP and update me then only i can reinstall this app     Rajnikant Awasthi

This launcher enables a clean point from which I can start all my commonly used apps Being able to resize the icons so they are small helps reduce clutter and reduces the number of screens needed to host them The shortcuts to all apps and co configuration is very useful Finally the home screen images which change on a regular basis are fabulous                     Mark Blood

Edit Anytime the phone restarts ie turns off and on again random apps appear on the home screen once again after being downloaded Microsoft has some great customer support I put in a review about 2 weeks ago complaining about how apps do not automatically go to home screen and apps dissappear from your screen and a couple days ago they fixed it to where apps automatically go to the home screen and apps no longer dissapear         TheGoldenPineapple13

As soon as I downloaded it my phone s been bugging out Texts and calls are being missed settings keep getting reset apps keep moving around Never again Seemed like a good idea but I regret it Makes me want to switch back to apple asap so I don t have to deal with Microsoft     Kaila Medina

This is by far the best launcher I ve used No pop up ads no lag nothing It works seamlessly with the apps It s just great Wish it had a way of actually shutting off the screen on double tap instead of the dark screen overlay and reduced brightness                     Stephen Murya

A great launcher I actually was a fan of the long gone Windows Phone and I was hesitant to try this launcher because I liked Samsung s One UI But when I tried it it surprised me It is simple to use and beautiful and it syncs with the Windows 10 system pretty well I also noticed a slightly better battery life and a my phone got a little faster I don t know why but I can tell that it performed better                     Alaa Al-Khater

Runs really smooth and looks good too Launcher is really vast and offers manyy convenient features including a page on home showing things like calendarEvents screenTime etc u0026 news without any lag unlike Briefing on my S7 Few bugs with the launcher are It lags for a while when i switch my phones resoln Home screen sometimes doesnt load for a sec when i press home button Kindof tries to remove google but good for syncing microsoft PC together But i think the launcher is great despitethese                     Lavitra Dahal

It s probably the greatest launcher on Android However often times it hogs the CPU too much cause the lock screen to freeze or certain system processes to crash List of issues Lock screen freezes or glitches out and in apps crash or freeze with it Avast Passwords app freezes with Gboard and more Uninstalling this launcher and going back to stock got rid of all these issues As the launcher is the one app that runs 24 7 these issues shouldn t occur             Matthew Garcia

Recently left college so I no longer have access to my school account however I cannot remove it from the launcher so I constantly get reminders to log into the account 5 stars if when this gets fixed Additionally my default Xperia Home launcher shows the search bar and a row of apps when app switching which would be a fantastic addition to this launcher                 Eryk _

I had to reset my android tablet The Google launcher would not work correctly after that I tried two other recommended launchers from Google Play Did not find them user friendly I took a chance with Microsoft Launcher and it saved the day It is so much easier to set up and navigate and it is also a much more stable platform Thank you                     Apa

Responsive devs and professional design language are more important than gimmicks and this launcher achieves just that But still I don t understand the opaque header in Transparent theme visibility isn t an issue with blur effect for a transparent background with slight darkening To devs Anyway thanks for the quick response with the Search suggestions fix in v5 8                     Pratik Kore

I love my LG V40 and the stock launcher allows so much Why switch to Microsoft Launcher Well call me a Windows fanboy since 98 second edition Since they stopped Windows phones so why not Not disappointed at all Smooth great wallpapers just feels like it belongs on my phone UI is clean settings are extensive and all the integrated features are awesome Keep it up you should try and make a new phone with this launcher stock No issues as of this review 9 8 19                     Michael Keniston

App drawer app text randomly cuts off Custom calendar icon is really old looking Cortana does not launch with microphone active Hidden apps checkmark color is difficult to tell if selected more contrast needed Preview left swipe home page shows old calendars that have been deleted in the select calendars option             Timur Dincer

I love it It makes my phone literally faster Im using it on a Samsung noteII Whcih for todays starndar is a pretty old Oooonly thing tho Id love for a lock screen and to be able to hide the tab new apps i dont use it at all And it takes up space Thanks for a wonderful launcher                     Lola Rey Alvarez

The first time I installed it all wallpapers were in the selection list Sortly after this installation I wasn t able to download anything from Google store I am not sure if Microsoft Launcher caused this After I reset my device and had a fresh start although I reinstalled the app several times following all troubleshooting procedures found online only the Microsoft Launcher wallpaper exists in the selection list It s a cool alternative to the default launcher and hopefully reliable             George Mantarakis

One of the best Launchers on Google Play Store I have tried using other Launchers but always come back to Microsoft I ve said it once I ve said it twice and now I ll say it again If u haven t tried Microsoft Launcher try it U will love the freedom that u have w this launcher Need I say more                     Jennie Parra-Garza

This is one of the most amazing launchers I ve ever installed on my phone The glance page is simply awesome with so many handy features and a lot of information But app opening experiences a bit of lag and the animation is quite outdated It would be great if the android Pie like animation is integrated in the launcher which will make the launcher smoother                 prajwal pisal

A good fluid app Across updates performance is more consistent now than before It would be better if developer also gives the option to disable Swipe up to expand dock in the hidden mode At present it is enabled by default and there s no way to disable it                 Amit Singh

Clean useful u0026 lightweight Microsoft have really listened to feedback on what s good u0026 useful and have integrated everything that I ve been looking for including news glance swipe left note taking to do list and calendar integration 5 5 highly recommend                     Rufus Pearce

It has one problem with App limit feature When i apply this feature for my children device then it work good on all rom but it prevents to access to recent apps on Miui 10 rom Means on every redmi phone with miui 10 rom So please fix it Alow user to access recent app menu after app limit feature applied Fix it quickly I love microsoft launcher I used it almost my every phone                     Mukesh Saw

I ve tried many launchers some are good some are just awful I find this fits perfectly what I want and need It has so many customization feature yet simple and not complicated And the most important it is free without ads AT ALL                     Chris Soong

This app ruined my phone Literally So I installed this launcher hoping that it would provide a better experience than my old one It was nice but for some reason the app wanted administrator privileges I reluctantly gave it After that any time I opened chrome it blocked it and asked me to use edge instead When I tried to uninstall the program it wouldn t let me So now I m stuck with a phone which can only browse on Microsoft edge I hate it     Neel Karma
