Comments on RetroDroid Launcher for Android

★★★★★ Salman Hanif Sallu · Sep 13, 2026
You remind me Samsung Galaxy Note 2. But on the home screen, battery icon and time should be like that phone.
★★★★☆ Sancho Panganiban · Sep 25, 2026
My brother I am 12 years old and I have no money can you please remove the paywall like skeuolauncher my brother in next update thank you brother
★★★★☆ Joaquin Salazar · Oct 4, 2026
This is a very cool and nostalgic launcher, but it would be really cool if they added the old winamp widget :)
★★★★☆ Lipi Rani · Oct 2, 2026
The launcher is good but add ability to change the icons of apps in drawer and home with icons from my gallery
★★☆☆☆ Aniruddha Dasgupta · Sep 30, 2026
I have purchased the pro version, still I am unable to place pro widgets in home screen, how to fix it
★☆☆☆☆ Hannah James · Sep 29, 2026
Guys don't use this; it's AI generated. Look up "RetroDroid Launcher AI" if you don't believe me... If you're going to generate something with AI, don't make people pay for it. And especially a frutiger aero thing too? That goes against like the entire point of why people want to bring this aesthetic back. Someone else called this out in the reviews too, and the developer just called them "broke"; you're not even going to defend yourself??? I doubt using an AI app as your default launcher is secure
★☆☆☆☆ Cloud Jurlin · Oct 11, 2026
It's disgusting how you can lock many of the great features behind a paywall. I'd find this app more entertaining if it had no paywall. I'll happily stick to my default UX experience that came with my Motorola. Until the paywalls are gone, I'll never use this app again.

Description by VOKKI Written by the developer, not by AppBrain. Click to read.
Take your phone back to 2012.

RetroDroid Launcher rebuilds the home screen of that era on top of today's Android. Period-correct look, modern foundation — no old ROM required.

HOME SCREEN • Paged grid, folders and a bottom dock • Long press to add apps, widgets or wallpapers • Wallpaper scrolling and dim • Set any page as your default

APP DRAWER • Apps and Widgets tabs • Alphabetical or your own order • Hide the apps you don't want to see • Grid size, icon size and label options

LOCK SCREEN • Swipe to unlock, pattern or PIN • Clock, date, weather and battery • Water ripple and lens flare effects

LIVE WALLPAPERS • Retro Weather: a landscape that shifts with the time of day and your local weather • A set of included wallpapers

ALSO INSIDE • RetroDroid icon pack • Device frame mode — show your home screen inside the phone body of the era • Custom status bar • Touch sounds, ringtones and notification sounds • English, Turkish, German, Spanish, French, Italian and Portuguese

PERMISSIONS None are required. Location is only for weather, notification access only for the lock screen. The launcher works without either.

PREMIUM One-time purchase, no subscription. Live wallpapers, the RetroDroid lock screen, device frame colors, touch sounds and the custom status bar are unlocked with Premium.
