Introduce about Microsoft Launcher
Microsoft Arrow Launcher is a launcher app developed by Microsoft with an elegant and practical interface. It doesn't have any fancy new features, but still offers everything an Android user would want in a tool like this.
Microsoft Arrow Launcher is divided into three screens. In the middle (also your default screen) you'll find a whole list of both the apps you use most frequently and those you've used recently. You can also swipe up from the bottom of the screen to see a list of all your apps (with a search bar included).
The screen on the left of the home screen contains the people you contact the most. From there, you can also send emails and messages or call these contacts.
On the screen on the right, you'll find the upcoming events in your agenda and the alarm. So, you just have to slide your finger to see any upcoming alarms, birthdays, or meetings.
Microsoft Arrow Launcher is an excellent launcher for Android that has some really useful features and a beautiful interface. If fact, you can even choose in the options to update the wallpaper daily to Bing's image of the day.
