Microsoft is working on Android Launcher

[[142899]]

Microsoft is currently developing a launcher for Android called Arrow. Currently, the launcher is still in the testing phase, but according to some test users' feedback, the performance of this launcher is pretty good. If you have an Android device and want to try it, you can download the APK file at the end of the article to install it.

Arrow's home screen will contain three pages by default, namely the contact page, application home page, reminder and memo page. In the contact page, Arrow will display your frequently used contacts, including phone contacts and email contacts; the home page will automatically display your frequently used applications and recently installed programs; the memo page supports quick input of notes and reminders, a feature rarely seen in other Android Launchers.

At the bottom of the main screen is the commonly used application dock, which users can adjust as needed. From the bottom of the main screen, you can also call out the program quick launch menu as well as desktop settings, wallpaper and feedback buttons. There is also a recent access bar in the quick launch menu to help users quickly launch the required program.

Another point worth mentioning is the Bing wallpaper function. Arrow supports Bing daily wallpaper, which means that users can automatically change Bing wallpaper every day on Android, which is undoubtedly very attractive to some users.

However, Arrow currently has some shortcomings, such as it does not support custom icon packs, cannot change the app icon size, and cannot manually add apps to the common app bar. I hope Microsoft can improve Arrow in the future. If you have information to feedback, you can also contact Microsoft on Google+.
