I like the concept. It's very similar to windows 10 on a pc but there's one problem. Your phone cannot handle it unless you have a top of the line phone. It'll eventually make your phone start running abysmally slow and you have to spam tap to get your phone to register your input because it's having a stroke trying to run this widget and the rest of your stuff. If it ran smoother id probably keep it installed because i prefer this interface.

Suggestion: I would love it if you could incorporate the ability to move apps around in folders. I didn't know that the way they're put in via dragging from desktop to folder locks them to that position. If I could drag them to where I need them (most used on top and in an order I prefer) that would be awesome!

Looks ok. The fact it has a subscription for an app launcher is a bit much. Though you can just pay for lifetime The lack of windows 95 or xp themes despite them being the most iconic when there exists solid alternatives that do include them has me deciding against using this as my main launcher. It's well made but the fact we are stuck using the two least visually interesting windows versions holds it back.

I paid for this app years ago and loved it back then. The ui and design and features are actually great. It feels like using windows on am android voice. Lately, I have been having more issues than not. The app routinely locks up/freezes and will not do anything unless I force quit the app from settings.

Update: new rewrite broke features and caused reset of settings. Np on settings, can redo. However, can no longer hide apps from menus. Super annoying. Best Windows 10 standalone theme. Love the features. The only thing that would make this better would be to have an option to force apps to show the Task Bar even in full screen mode. Add an option to choose apps to apply it to, and I will pay for premium. I would also suggest adding some favorite Windows 10 apps/widgets as a premium addon.

Was 5 star until today's update. Latest update reset the app. There was a warning but it was hidden in a link. The way Android updates apps, basically you update apps in bulk or automatally. After the update, I can't get many widgets to work (FlowX, Aquamail...). Rely on my phone for work and this really threw a wrench into my workday. Before the update I LOVED the app. Now I need to revert to Nova until widgets issues is resolved.

Finally, an amazing way to make an Android phone operate like Windows. It looks so good now after trying a ton of other apps. I am very discriminating. Win-X has had no issues. No pop-ups. 0 lag. Have mine loaded with apps, a few widgets, and live wallpaper. Imported some custom icons. And now my phone looks like my gaming PC. Even with all the RGB lights, with Edgelight. Just remember everything can be customized from colors to icons. Make sure to save and lock the UI when you are done.

of the few ive tried (windows emulators) this by far has won me over without question, fully customizable, as far as the interface goes, lots of options to make your own, just like the real windows, choice of style/version (win 10/11) folder creation & customization, widgets, integration of calenders and drives, file manager windows (pc) style, trash can, and ability to pin apps folders etc to task bar, and app drawer, or on the desktop/ phone screen, many many more options, [★★★6★★★]✔︎

The app is very fluid and has more than enough features and it's fun to use if you enjoy the windows format, the only cons that I've found are that some widgets do not function normally, and if you move anything to the top of the screen no matter what the object is it will be removed from the screen permanently not sure if it's the same in the paid version but for the free version it makes it impossible to use some things

It is a nice launcher. Two things I notice after a short use, on the start menu, after buying the app, they have kept a manage subscriptions button asking for more money. If you want to keep this option for those that pay a subscription, put it in the settings. Having this button on the start menu is just more clutter. Also put the information button in settings and not clutter the start menu.
