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.

The glass update is godsend. To this day one the best tile-focused launchers, and my main launcher since I can remember. Keep up the amazing work. Highly recommend if you haven't yet. A bit of a personalization learning curve, but very worth it.

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!

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

Loved it on my S24, but on the S26 it appears the launcher is not current on the UI widgets as I am unable to add Mode widgets that I used to have. It looks like the widget themselves changed. Would be great if this could be accommodated as have modes on a cube was awesome, and even gives a visual cue what mode you are in.

Love the app but every time I set it as my default home. My swipe control switches to the 3 button controls at the bottom of the screen. Can't use them, so can't use this app 😭

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
