Comments on Metro Launcher - Live Tiles for Android

★★★★☆ Dilly Kumar · Oct 30, 2026
Make the Clock tile as Lumia before by displaying the current time. Not only tile with clock logo.
★★★★☆ Sumit Sinha · Aug 29, 2026
it's nice.lumia launcher looks great on Samsung Galaxy s24 ultra. Please give options to change and switch icons on tiles.Also, don't modify default samsung apps.please provide option for complete tile transparency.
★★★★☆ Tabz Wachuka · Jul 30, 2026
Was about to really like this app, but it's modified some apps like Gallery. It's not Samsung gallery. It shouldn't modify Samsung own apps once you click on them. Like once, you pin to start, and then you click on the photos' app it doesn't open as Samsung gallery. I don't mind that it's named photos but once clicked from the START. It should open as is. so hopefully that gets fixed then I'll try again, otherwise. Thank you for bringing the lumia back.
★★☆☆☆ Sheikh Akhtar Hussain · Jul 5, 2026
Very less customization options..... No option for adding widgets...... Very bad launcher...... I regret buying it...... That to the price is too high compared to other launchers
