The app was last updated 13 November and addressed certain bugs that users found.
If users are looking for something a little more legit, there are a couple of good WP8 styled apps for Android also available for download on the Google Play store. WP8 Launcher also offers users access to all their existing Android apps and functionality such as Google Chrome, Facebook, Twitter and Gmail.
This app is designed to give the best of both worlds. A fresh new user interface modeled on Microsoft’s design and the openness of Android that users love. Give it a try and let us know if it delivers.
