Comments on Square Home for Android

★★★★★ COdeNAmeRHino · Jun 4, 2026

Compared to other launchers that all have the same look and feel, Square Launcher feels original it just looks so clean, also I prefer the vertical scroll to the normal side scroll, I've spent hours and hours messing around with all the features, and I still haven't seen everything it can do, paired with Icon pack creator and wallpaper engine I've made some really cool looking home screens, if you want something a bit different to all the other launchers, go with this

★★★★★ Wahyu Ramadhani · Jun 5, 2026

Great app, loving it so far, I don't know where to ask this, so I'll ask here, I try to apply monochrome icon, but it has no effect, do I need to download another icon pack?, also the color on apps inside a tile group should match the color of the tile group, now I have to manually change the apps inside the tile group color to match one by one

★★★★★ Les E · Apr 11, 2026

I bought lifetime subscription for 7.00...love this app... TIP: I installed 'MATERIAL RSS' Reader and have scrolling rss feeds appear from MY favorite rss news feeds which include images and articles at no additional expense!! Just long press the plus sign on square home then press on widgets then choose rss feeds and add your rss feeds url to the material rss page, you're all set! Now you have multiple scrollable magazine articles from your favorite blog etc. on your home screen!

★★★★★ Vincent Winters · May 13, 2026

Update. 7 years in, still wow, still unbelievably custom. I've tried windows, octopi, new Google, nova, and I always come back to square home. Gives me video backgrounds, GIF icons. The crazy customization is what sets this apart. Well done.

★★☆☆☆ R B · Apr 29, 2026

I will purchase the lifetime subscription of ₹200 with 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 in contact search option you should give the phone, message and WhatsApp icons after the contact name. Also give a Search Button in Settings

★★☆☆☆ Adrian Damar · Apr 20, 2026

Still got the same issue when the app is repeatedly terminated/stopped running and suddenly goes back to default home screen while the default home is still square home. I gotta manually go to setting and set things back.

★☆☆☆☆ Cristian Regidor · Jun 16, 2026

I've been using the app for over a year with the free features because none of the paid ones were something I wanted. Today my squares are suddenly no longer squares and there is a huge "Pro" label in the center of the screen because they decided to remove even more features from the free version. Disgusting.

The outlook Android widget is not loading, it always says "couldn't add widget". Please fix this issue
