Arrow Launcher

Arrow is just getting better! Revamping the Utility Hub and having a nice calendar for schedule in there is awesome. Not to mention that I am fully dependend on Wunderlist so it's Integration is really awesome. I find the swipe right to Utility Hub similar to IOS though. But it's like part of my human brain to swipe right and see all the necessary information I need. Great work of masterpiece. Note: it crashed on me twice. I don't know why. I'm on Huawei P8 Lite (2017)

Makes Android somewhat bearable after using WP for years. Would be great if it would tie in with the outlook app more (Utility page widget for emails, calendar, etc present in Outlook). Weather/clock function is janky. Other than that pretty decent. Still no WP... but much better than any other launcher :)

Clean launcher with a fully customizable utility page on home screen with the ability to stash certain, or all, apps. Your home screen can actually be a clean unobstructed picture of your choice with a couple switched toggles. Search for anything on your phone in search. I could go on but it said a short review. Remember... All other launchers can do the same thing but they all bring limitations. So switch into KOOL mode with this launcher. Do I get my free upgrade now? Just kidding ALL OF IT IS FREE.

Fabulous launcher I have ever seen. Fully clutter free and lovely UI. I am totally loving it. But there are some drawbacks too. There is a problem with vertical scrolling. Vertical scrolling is a very cool feature but when you install any new application, its icon will not be shown anywhere.

Best Launcher for Android. Really simple UI, fully customisable, fantastic for syncing multiple accounts on different platforms (ie. Google and Microsoft). Only reason it doesn't get a full 5 stars from me is there are still a couple of tiny bugs that aren't major, but just annoy me a little. For instance the inbuilt calendar widget will only display the correct colour for some of my accounts, others have no colour coding at all.

I love this launcher. I also love how you can swipe up to get shortcuts instead of swiping down (with all these extra steps.) The UI is sleek, amazing and functional. I am also a Windows user and like to keep my tech consistent so I want to switch to Windows phone when they have merged windows 10 os with mobile completely instead of having a Windows 10 mobile os.

1. There are some serious problems with idea suggestion page, that I couldn't type a email address or Name there. What I type appears in the description box. 2. Search box is always searching even if I type a link there. It should be changed like it should open up the link if search string is a link. Still, very comfortable, bearable and easy to use stuff. Liked very much. Hope you will fix the bugs

Google was very limited, especially about privacy of files, folders, and apps so I've looked for a launcher with features for those contents. I've tried two or three, but they were either too complicated, or took up too much RAM, or would stop. Arrow is easy, uncomplicated, offers many options, and efficiantly does what I need. Thanks, Microsoft!

Simple, fast and beautiful. Something I admired about the Windows phone was that they put the information you needed in front of you. The bad part was the lack of apps. With this, I get the info I need and the Android app ecosystem. The only thing it doesn't have I wish it did is the ability to assign an icon to homescreen folders. Update... Two months later, and u still love the app.

I have been running the stock launcher on my Note 4 for years and just tried the arrow launcher, I had struggled with battery burn and this new launcher seems to have resolved that completely. That alone is worth using Arrow. Nice work microsoft! (I was suprised to see ms built this).

Based on my experience this is the best launcher you can get on play store! It has many features and also a good & decent look. It just a minor issue that some highly space consuming apps disappear from your home screen when you restart your device(as i faced it on my 'mote e ', also please tell some suggestions to improve this) otherwise its the BEST LAUNCHER☺

This is a great launcher. Very well thought out. Just as good as Nova although not as many features but that's ok. I like to switch things up on my phone. But there are some launchers that I stick to for very long periods of time. I pretty much have settled on Nova launcher as the best. But This launcher may be my phones face for a while.

Everything was fine till the latest update...i just don't know what happened to my home screen. After the update the icons have been merged! I mean suppose there is the icon for YouTube but for just no reason the icon for clean master is stuck on it and the names for the apps which are written below them are like that too clean master is written above you tube and its the same with all the apps a different icon is stuck on all of the ones in home screen

I would like to suggest few tweaks and features. - Icon name search in app icon edit mode. my icon pack has very huge number of icons this would make lot easyer. - the app drawer doesn't reset to it's first page when I open it again. I don't know if it meant to be like this or not.. but please add a toggle to disable this. - please add more gestures.. and I suggest: swipe up open app drawer. - (I don't how describe this) when I toggle on "Always show search bar" the search bar shows up like individual widget on each page. It would be better (in my opinion) if it was a single search bar doesn't get affected by swiping pages.

The launcher is working great. At first everything was working fine but then after an hour or so the weather widget with the clock is not displaying the weather and the booster widget also seems to not display the percentage. Also the weather widget seems to be slow a little. Please fix this in your next update. Thank you.

Simply gorgeous..its hard to believe this is a MS product I don't even like launchers. The way the app drawer functions and the same with gadgets. It starts where left off rather than top of page. Brilliant!! I'm purchasing OneDrive over Google Drive as a result of this launcher and the beauty of OneNote. I joined the arrow beta team. I don't have anything to offer, but there are some super dedicated testers. Bravo MS on these new Apps.

Love this launcher. Still getting use to it as it is totally different. It is making everything useful and organized. Love the notes page. Only problem is when I restart the phone half my icons disappear. When I restore them there are doubled icons. Will give 5 star if icons are fixed

[update].. Bravo.... Im so speechless with this launcher.. I've tried many launchers before but they are not suit on me... I guess this is my life time launcher.... From the wallpaper... Etc.. Bravo keep it up.. I should give a 100starss...bravo.. Keep it up.!

Good concept marred by bone headed design decisions and bugs. Every release disconnects my login to the calendar card. I just spent 20 minutes trying to reconnect my accounts because the Arrow launcher login prompts won't allow passwords to be pasted from the clipboard. It's also impossible to switch to my authenticator app to get my 2 factor code because the arrow launcher login prompt has closed when I switch back. I've now given up on using that functionality.

I ran Arrow Launcher for a few months and loved it. My battery died, the phone shut down (added power during the process and phone successfully powered off and on again. Arrow Launcher reset all settings in a way I would have to delete double widgets from the home screen and overlapping icons on the quick launch icons on the bottom. The screen shots are almost as confusing as this review. Off to try Googles Launcher... Fingers crossed. For now tho, skip this if you are a fan of a home screen that doesn't randomly reorder or overwrite itself.

I appreciate the change that allows multiple options from contacts card. But the one-touch-dial is missing. I would suggest that multi option should show upon long press while short press should make call/last action. Also, there is something seriously wrong with the new calendar card. 1 star for attention seeking purpose only.

Loving the clean and simple design, and it is nice and fast too. Would just like to see better app drawer customisation. Maybe the ability to sort apps by category (yes I can create folders on the home screen, but I prefer that to be clutter-free). Ability to adjust spacing between icons would be good too. Also widget spacing could be improved as it insists I must have a lot of dead space around some of my widgets currently.

This is the best thing for my life career and just phone. AMAZING #THEBEST It lets me add so many more apps to my home screen so I don't have to swipe I can.just unlock and do what I got to do. Thanks Microsoft

I'm a Windows user , I work in IT field . Last time I used Android it was on version 2 so when I switch to Android 7 it was so confusing , everything was so complicated , shaded and ... Until I installed this luncher. This luncher will organize everything for you. Now I feel at home

I despise microsoft and that's because why I'm avoiding even trying this launcher out but, this is the launcher I dreamed of! Minimalistic, easy to adapt, very fast and also has high performance mode, let alone you can seamlessly run the launcher if you own medium-to-low performance device it disables all that distracting and stupid time and battery wasting animations. Just the best launcher if one prefers minimalistic one, you can even remove all apps icon, wait whaaat?! :O

Still the most innovative launcher, but it misses out on some near features it's competition has, like swipe up to open the app drawer. I'll be using this app and hope to see continued improvement. Props to Microsoft for listening to your users!

It was great, but the last update is constantly asking for me to sign into my Microsoft account. I would like to just have kept it as is. Probably going to just go back to HTC Sense, may not be perfect, but it would probably leave me alone.

This launcher is truly nice. But, it could be better still. Here are my suggestions: (1)Please make it possible to enlarge the size of the icons bigger. The icons are still not as big as expected even at largest magnification. (2)The icons that came with it are too plain simple. You sure can improve on this. (3)Give the option to select and use a jpg or png picture file as an icon. I do this with WP Launcher Pro that I've been using on my Samsung Galaxy Note 3 for over 3 years on now. Still the best. It allows the widgets that other launchers crash to run smoothly. Thanks

App seems to use a lot of ram. When i open there apps it lags/takes too long. But finally got a launcher that can gesture swipe down for notification that has no ads. Solved the Irritating xperia swipe down from middle shows the apps instead of it. Thank you.

Fast and minimalist. Probably the best launcher available right now. However, I do feel like Microsoft released this just to collect more data about people as the app asks for a lot of permissions (which I have all rejected).

Super cool. Better than touch wiz and like always excellent user experience. Only thing that bites me is the power consumption, it gobbles up huge percentage of power as compared to it's latter.

Windows 10 needs a little work, but overall it s pretty nice, Edge rapidly became my favorite browser, and now this launcher with Cortana on my Nexus, which feels really clean, I can't believe I'm starting to really like Microsoft again.

If I got apps in a password protected folder, it does not automatically enter into he password screen, it gives a notification instead. Literally the only thing I can put my finger on.

Great launcher with lots of features and customisation options. Only annoying thing is that the desktop grid is restricted to 4 icons wide. Most launchers default to 5 icons, an the space feels wasted just having 4

Bad icon management on the desktop , especially when it comes to the dock. And too much useless pages. And no google now integration. Older versions were better , less clutter more productivity.

Other than my battery draining faster than before, I really like the app. I have missed my windows phone and this is pretty close to it. Much better than normal android for sure

Possibly the best user interface I've used on any phone to date. Extreme elegance meets unparalleled productivity thanks to a very intuitive design. Waiting for Microsoft to release a Surface phone that ships with a similar launcher out of the box. Props up to the developers, great job guys!

Great launcher. I like the most-used auto organization more than placing each icon myself (though now you can do that too). Would love if in the app drawer, you could click on a letter on the left to be able to jump to any letter — Windows Phone style!

I'm torn between using this and Nova on a daily basis. While I love the features of both, I'm going to stick to using Arrow Launcher for a while. It's smooth, fast, highly customizable, and integrated with Bing. Win-Win.

One of the best. If not the best. I gave 3 stars only because arrow merged my contacts but mixed them in such a way that I don't really know who I am calling.
