14 DAY TRIAL // Supposed you have an Android smartphone, a good one, but you're an inquisitive person and want to know what other mobile platforms have to offer.
But you want to do that without having to purchase a Windows Phone handset. Well, there is a way and it only requires that you make a small investment of around $5.
The Launcher 8 Pro is an application that brings the Windows Phone launcher on Android devices. It's compatible with all smartphones running Android 2.2 and up, but that isn't the real issue.
Some Windows Phone hardcore users imply that Launcher 8 Pro is nowhere near as fluid as Windows Phone, which in turn would push people from Microsoft's mobile platform rather than please them.
That might be right and since Launcher 8 Pro is developed by a third-party, so any complaint that the application might not actually reflect Windows Phone's performance and feel should be directed to Microsoft for not being capable of creating such an app themselves.
Anyway, Launcher 8 Pro promises to bring the Windows Phone 8.1 tiles layout to Android phones. It allows users to add tiles with different size and a wide range of colors. Also, you will be able to save and restore themes, as well as edit the start screen layout.
You can get the free version first
Moreover, you can add Android widgets in the tiles or other special features like time, LED light, Live Gallery and Live contact. You can also change tiles from 4 rows to 6 rows for those of you who own smartphones with larger screens.
Launcher 8 Pro developers also offer a free version of their Windows Phone-like launcher, which is missing some features.
For the full experience, though, you will need to do download Launcher 8 Pro for Android via Google Play Store.
As mentioned earlier, the application costs $5 and should be fully compatible with all devices powered by Android 2.2 and up.
Have you tried the Launcher 8 yet? What are your thoughts on what it has to offer? Do you think it provides users with a 100% accurate Windows Phone experience?
