Is the Microsoft Launcher for Android any good? On Android, being able to customize the look and feel is one of the key reasons why many people choose to use that operating system. Installing a new launcher is an excellent way to customize your phone with minimal effort.

One I’ve been testing out for the past month is Microsoft Launcher. In this review and mini-tutorial, I’ll share with you the key features that I like, go over some of the settings and let you know if it’s any good.

It has been six months that I am using Microsoft launcher. I have nova launcher but I can’t leave Microsoft launcher on my galaxy s8 it’s just awesome.
Nice video! I have both Action Launcher Plus (in my spare phone) and Nova Launcher Prime (in my tablet) but I like this on my main phone. For me this is the only one where Dashclock widget works flawlessly (time always stops updating on the other launchers). I also like how they made the app drawer: segregated alphabetically and you can go directly to where the app you want is located by tapping on the letter at the side of the screen.
Yes I like it, been using it, pretty smooth.
the microsoft launcher almost wiped all data on my phone
How did you record Android screen through Windows?
I broke the screen of my smartphone and i need to access to it
Not new. Have been using this for about 6months on an old phone base on 1st gen snapdragon 801cpu & no problemo. Love it!
I like the MS Launcher and that Viral Icon Pack is sweet!!
With Swiftkey they know what you type, now they also know what apps you use. Gone to linux for being free from them. Now it looks like I am not even save from them on this platform. Even though this thing is kinda neat, but it also defines everything I hate about them. Cortana, Bing, its proprietary…
Whatever happened to Microsoft arrow?
This launcher is lame. Nothing special
Whats the matter M$? Gave up on metro?
Best launcher ever…..using for about 8 months

WHY.
Thanks, I needed more telemetry on my phone.
Microsoft Launcher is one of the best launchers, indeed. I don’t really need more features, may be a user adjustable weather widget. Transitions are smooth, some unique functionality is offered, such as the information page, and it just works and looks fine. The only thing I don’t like is the huge memory footprint.
Glad I found this vid, a few things that were annoying me with it’s look I figured out by watching this vid. Now I love the results on my screen!
I like it, using it as default on my phone
What I want more than anything else is the Films and TV app from Microsoft. I have a lot of movies and tv shows on there from my XBOX. I’d love to be able to take them with me.
How did you get the Pixel 2 on your desktop?
couldn’t get used to it…
How you casted the phone to the pc?
I was interested in the new “phone link” feature of Windows 10, but if I have to abandon Nova Launcher to use it, it better be a damn good launcher.
I’ll always have Pushbullet anyway.
I am a MS fanboy!! I love this launcher!!!
To change the default search engine in the search bar, go to “Launcher Settings”, “Search”, then “Search engine”. The choice of search engines is limited right now… Thanks for watching 🙂
And use SwiftKey, it’s just as good or maybe better than Gboard
The launched is good from 2gb of ram with 1 its so bad
Its a clean, easy to use and sleek launcher. It and Nova Launcher are my preferred choices
Yes, a very good launcher indeed, yet another way for Microsoft to tap into your life and steal your data 🙂
Many updates cause it to be glitchy
