Best launcher on Android. I’ve tried all the good ones, but trust me, this one is above and beyond everything else I’ve tried. It really gives you the feeling of the original Windows Phone tiles, but everything works even better. You can even use YouTube directly through a tile (start and pause). Almost everything related to the tiles is customizable. I purchased the Pro version, and it was money well spent.

Great app if you want a home screen to actually be useful akin to the goat Windows phone tiles.

When I use transparent black lines show between the tiles, when I take it off you have the full wallpaper but my tiles are blue. It used to have it where you put it on transparent but between the lines it showed the full wallpaper I don't know what happened, was it an update that makes me lose that?

I will purchase the lifetime subscription Square Home Key of ₹450 if you introduce the feature of Swipe Gesture on each folder and every icon such as Swipe Up & Down, Swipe Left & Right (like in Nova launcher). And give the option of Phone, Message and WhatsApp icons after the contact name in "Contact Search" (as in Nova launcher) Give additional & separate "Icons & Folders size preference" in App Drawer

I am pro user and subscribed to Square Home for past few months, yearly subscription, but I have come to dislike it and thinking of cancelling my subscription due to just one shortcoming that is live tiles notifications. The app doesn't send and update the live tiles notifications. I do it off and on manually but have become tired and hate doing it regularly. Fix the notifications, or I am going to cancel sub and delete the app. Also, you can't search with the name of app only first letter. Fix these!
