14 DAY TRIAL // Microsoft Launcher is an application that’s continuously evolving, and the new updates released by the software giant further refine the experience with it.
If you’ve never tried this launcher, there’s no doubt you should, especially if you’re a Microsoft user. Microsoft has been working non-stop on polishing everything its launcher, and the latest update published in the Google Play Store is the living proof that the app can only get better and better.
Now at version 6.210502.0.963780, Microsoft Launcher works even smoother on Microsoft’s very own Surface Duo, as the company says it has further improved the home screen settings and app alignment on this device.
Surface Duo is Microsoft’s very own device, and needless to say, Microsoft Launcher has been fully optimized to take advantage of the dual-screen experience. And this update makes the app work even better by aligning all components currently on the screen.
Time and Weather widgets fixes
In addition, Microsoft says it has corrected a problem hitting the Time and Weather widgets, so if you’re using them, everything should now be more reliable.
The latest update also fixes launcher reboots, with apps to now remain in the same order after relaunching the application, and Microsoft says the browser settings would no longer be affected by updates.
So overall, the Microsoft Launcher is getting more polished, and just as expected, there are more undisclosed bug fixes and performance improvements under the hood as well.
The reviews published in the Google Play store pretty much speak for themselves. Microsoft Launcher has been downloaded by more than 10 million times from the Google Play Store alone, and the app currently has over 157,000 ratings, with a current score of 4.7 points out of a maximum of 5.
Microsoft has become very committed to improving the Microsoft Launcher in the long term, so a new update is very likely to be just around the corner with even more fixes.
