Xperia™ Home app review

Xperia™ Home for Android works more smoothly than ever. It has fixed several bugs, which makes your phone’s performance better. You will see aligned Stage icons along with desktop grid. This appearance has made your phone look cleaner. You will also be able to choose new animation while powering up your device. This improvement is better compared to the last update.

It has user friendly interface with rounded icons for the apps. You can change the size of the icons as your liking. You can also adjust the grid size to match your preference. The best additional feature would perhaps be the integration of Google Now to Xperia Home. All you have to do is swipe left on the home screen. You will be able to access Google Now directly and search for anything you need on Google search bar.

However, you can only use the launcher for Xperia phones. Other than that, you won’t be able to fully use the launcher for it is not the compatible match. Thus, if you want to try this app, you should first own Xperia device. Another thing is that it can often crash if you open too many apps at once, and it often lagged when you have low battery. Other inconvenient thing include folder icon doesn’t match with icon design, since the icon comes in a round shape while folder icon comes in a square shape. Overall, this app is a great launcher despite the disadvantages it has. To sum up and give final verdict, here are the pros and cons.

Cons:

• This app is only available exclusively for Xperia phone.
