Metro Launcher 10 is an Android application that enables you to enjoy the Windows 10 interface on your Android device.

Functional Aesthetics

Metro Launcher 10 excels in its primary objective of providing a Windows 10-like experience on Android smartphones. This app not only emulates the visual appeal of Windows 10 but also allows a high degree of customization to make the experience truly your own. From the font color to the number of columns, and even the location and color of the tiles, you can personalize each of these interface features via the configuration settings.

App Placement and Customization

By default, Metro Launcher 10 places a selection of apps on your home screen, which contributes to the Windows 10-like appearance. However, it doesn't restrict your freedom to modify this layout. The location of the icons is entirely under your control, providing you the flexibility to arrange your apps according to your preference.

User Profile Display

In another nod to the Windows 10 interface, your name and avatar are displayed on the upper right side of the screen. However, if you wish to modify this, Metro Launcher 10 gives you the ability to do so. This further enhances the personalization experience.

Free Version Limitations

While the free version of Metro Launcher 10 does provide a plethora of customization options, there is a significant restriction. The changes you make are only functional for a duration of 15 minutes. Once this period elapses, your modifications are cancelled and the app reverts to its default configuration.

Conclusion

In conclusion, Metro Launcher 10 is an effective and visually pleasing way to bring the Windows 10 interface to your Android device. It is packed with customization options that allow you to tailor your experience. However, the limitation on the free version might deter some users from fully enjoying the app's potential.

Pros

  • Imitates Windows 10 interface effectively
  • Offers a high degree of customization
