User Reviews/Opinion:
- Latest update broke it again. Constantly getting a message about restarting and resolution. Also uses GPS when it shouldn’t and is draining the battery. Newsfeed also ignores preferences when you pick the “news” settings. Be prepared to be inundated with sports stories even though you have sports switched off.
- Would be 5 stars except for some longstanding and significant bugs. When using this launcher, regardless of what keyboard you use eventually they will either stay on uninvited or not appear when required. Only switching to another launcher solves the problem. IMO performance and battery life also compromised but you get a lot of good features for the money. Thanks Microsoft. Please address bugs.
- Well, it much modern design look, but in next version, can you put back the head bar colour for transparent theme so it really much easier for me to look, also make the ascent colours can be customise, so I can get what colour did I really want, thank you for made this launcher.
