SquareHome 2 - Launcher

Amazing app, and even better customer support. Functions excellent as a Metro UI launcher with all the features you would want from one. On top of that I had a problem which I thought was related to the app where the long home press would cause an error and reset me back to the lock screen (ended up being Google app. Once uninstalled, everything worked perfect) I want to personally thank the developer for being extremely helpful, professional and timely with his customer service. If you like the Windows phone UI, get this app! Support this guy, he really deserves it. Also, I am not paid in any way to post this review, just a really impressed with the customer service and functions of this app.

I recently was forced to switch to android from a windows phone... I'm not super phone savy and I was about to go crazy with the new android interface until I found this app... Thank You... For the most part everything is easy to figure out. The only reason i have it a 4 instead of a 5 is because I cannot figure out what the Large Play Cube is for or how to set it up and i can't find any where I the play store or the developers blog that has any instructions nor any way but through this review to contact the developer to get an answer. My only suggestion is to please post instructions somewhere easy to find. Otherwise thanks for saving my sanity!

I was a die hard Windows Phone fan because I loved the Ui how it was set up it was very fun, fluid and user friendly. I came to android and really found it was clunky but application access is awesome. What is a guy to do? Download this app you get the same fluidity of windows with the plethora of apps for Android! It's a win, win situation. The only recommendation would be add a dark mode option and maybe a Windows style keyboard and bam best app I've downloaded on the Google play Store!!! Thank you!!

A really powerful and lightweight launcher. Finally found something that both looks good while having a lot of options in organizing and make the phone look much cleaner. 9/10 Wish it would be possible to add empty blocks to fill the menu with the wallpaper without having to put an app in its place. (maybe it is possible idk)

Installed yesterday. Overall very smooth. Planning to buy it after trial period if battery performance is satisfactory. Few issues found - 1) Contacts goes blank if sort order is changed or favourite toggle is clicked. 2) search index doesnt look pretty. Can be refined a lot. 3) App search gives all apps having the search character instead of just the ones starting with the said character. Some prefer the latter. Please add a search option 5) Having an option to see the wallpaper (blurred?) in contact/app drawer pages for transparent setting will be great 4) Suggestion - A 'recent activities' tab would be awesome. Thank you. Its a great launcher. A definite 5star if the 'contacts going blank' issue and search index look are addressed.

I have tired just about every "different" style of launcher and I tend to change set ups alot. This is amazing ive been looking for a different style of launcher that was a simple set up but had alot of customization. Ive been messing around with it setting things up for the last hour and its already in my top 3 favorite launchers list and will probably be the main one i use from now on and am definitely going to buy pro. If you like the way windows phones are set up launcher wise this takes that idea and makes it much better and you can use icon packs with it just give it a try.

Awesome launcher. I got this launcher when it was still young and had some issues with it. But in the last couple months it has really improved. It is highly customizable and well thought out. The Only thing I really dislike is that the tiles can't be pinned in a particular place, they pull to the top.

One of the best launchers out there. Bought the key a few months back. Some options are not available in older versions of android, but that is to be expected with the newer apps these days. It takes a while to get used to tinkering with the launcher. Hopefully, you could create a lock screen application that is similar to your other apps with all the customizations and stuff. :D

Because I am forced to have Android, despise is, this enables me to get the closest to having Windows Phone 10 home screen as much as possible. I enabled one screen for the tiles, and one screen for the app drawer, it is exactly what I want to keep me from smashing my Android phone and getting the better more intuitive homescreen of Windows 10 on my mobile device. Great job developer, figure out a way to do live tiles for apps besides photos and you will be everything us Windows Phone migrators need.

It has a great layout for finding what you need however it needs improvement. I can't take the number 1 off the messenger square even if notification was cleared and rebooted it's still there. Very annoying. Can someone tell me how to remove it? I do LOVE the calendar notification. It's the one reason I still use this launcher. Please fix the messenger issue then I would make it 5 stars. *Thanks for responding so quickly. 5 stars all the way. Everything is reset and working in perfect order. Everyone should try this app. It's a keeper. Thanks again! :)

Flat out best Windows launcher. Period. The search is over. Absolutely brilliant. Love the live tiles. Didn't think that would be possible. Super polished and smooth. Battery life has improved with the recommended tip to use only jpegs if making custom icons. Keep up the great work!

I've been using a windows 8 phone for about a year. I love the layout but hate the restrictions and limited functionality of the windows phone. I've always wanted a similar layout for my Android Note phone. I LOVE IT!! It has very easy to customize and once I found my Android Widgets it really made the screen come alive. I paid for the app because these developers did a very good job and deserve to be compensated.

If you're like me who was upset about leaving their Windows Phone behind and wanted to reclaim the aesthetics, look no further. I recreated my WP layout from the ground up with the flair of custom icons and live wallpapers that Android has to offer and haven't looked back. I'd give 10 stars if I could. Certain little luxuries like animated openings and transitions as well as typeface among other things call for you to buy a key for 3.99. I got everything I wanted and more without spending a cent but I'm buying it anyway because the customization detail is just that rich without it. Hats off to the developers.

Easily the best WP10 look for Android. Coming from WP10 I have yo say there's a lot I like about Android but the interface is horrendous. Thankfully you can use this to make it look awesome

Brilliant app tried many many launchers and always went back to Nova Launcher but not this time. I even paid for the premium key before the trial period was over that's how impressed I was...You Sir are a genius well done a fantastic app well worth the money....

Great, just great. There was no way I was ever going to switch to Android from my Windows phone until I discovered this app. It actually has some of the changes I wanted to see made in Windows like being able to customize your tile colors. Hats off to the developer.

Amazing. I loved it. One small issue tough, I can't change the weather location in my calendar widget. And landscape mode is missing

SUPER SLOW it's not fast and you lose some stock Android feelings like Google drive is not the right colar and so is for play apps

I would highly recommend this App to anyone looking for a fast and reliable Android Launcher. I have tried many over the past few years with little success but Squarehome is by far the slickest and most intuitive. After only using it for less than 1 hour I decided to pay for the full version. Awesome work Devs and 2 solid thumbs up!

This is the absolute best launcher available on Android!! I love the slick design and the MANY ways to customise all you want! So beautiful and easy to use, very fast as well. One of the many amazing features that this launcher has is that you can make gesture shortcuts without rooting! Definitely worth a try.

Using always! Purchased, and I would rate 5+ if I could. There is something I would like to see: live tiles for the contacts app. That would beautify it alot.

To the developer: Hi I was the one who emailed u about the 'More Shortcuts' app request! I would just like to say thanks for making all of these apps. esp. Total Launcher and Square home 2 these are the apps that I have been looking for.. FOR YEARS! Because I keep searching for the launcher thst really fits my liking but all of the popular launcher apps aren't really for me. Then I found u and ur apps and they were PERFECT! I really hope that someday ur works will rise app to one of the most downloaded launchers/apps in play store. Keep up the good work!

I LOVE IT! I like how similar it is to the Windows phone launcher. This is by far the best app out there and with many different options and customisations you can constantly change things to your liking very easily.

Best Windows 10 launcher out there. But I wouldn't even call it that because it's like a combo between Android and Windows that is perfect yet unique.

!*$&?¿ The app's description doesn't lie. In my personal opinion, the best Win10 launcher on the g+ play store to this day. I hope to buy the keyed version very soon. <3 Much love; I will be recommending this app to friends.

Really great launcher, thanks for providing this. Is there a way to reset the notifications on messenger, as the tile says there is one new message (and there isn't)

Great app, it does have a small flaw though. Sometimes apps won't open right after clicking them.

Hi Developer I'm wondering could you please add more colors and options to the tiles

Switched to Android from Windows and was missing - one phrase - my phone. Now my phone looks and feels like a phone.

Some apps are not responding as well after i install this app

Instead of listing all the apps on top in a folder, it would look much better if apps were listed in the middle of the screen. Also easy to reach

I love this launcher, you really went all out on programming it. It's perfectly fine! Keep it up!

The best home customization app for a Windows look and feel, but better than the actual Windows interface, MS should take notice!

Using this on my android box. loved it immediately and bought the key same time. so many options just have to play around with it a bit.

Great home screen and love the freedom of the layout. You can really make it your own and edit a lot to what you want. Would recomend.

Not bad this is great. I love this app. Feels like a Nokia phone
