Browse Android app listings with metadata, source links, version details, compatibility notes, screenshots, and permission signals that help you compare apps before installing. For Microsoft Launcher, use the details below as a checklist before you decide whether the app fits your device, privacy expectations, and use case.
Install decision context for Microsoft Launcher
Microsoft Launcher is best reviewed as a Personalization listing from Microsoft Corporation, not as a direct APK file from FungoApp. The current signals show version 6.251202.0.1175610, Android requirement not listed, last update Jan 14, 2026, rating 4.7 out of 5, install signal 50,000,000+, and monetization that does not list ads in the current data and does not list in-app purchases in the current data. Use those signals together: a popular listing can still be a poor fit if the permissions, update age, or account requirements do not match your intended use.
Use-case fit analysis
Microsoft Launcher is presented around this purpose: "Personalize your phone and stay organized on the go." A good fit is more likely when that purpose matches the category, screenshots, version history, and the kind of access the app requests. If you only need a narrow task, compare this listing with simpler alternatives before leaving FungoApp for the external source.
Permissions and privacy interpretation
Microsoft Launcher does not include a permission list in the current FungoApp data. That missing field reduces review confidence, so readers should check the Android install prompt and source listing before using personal data or granting sensitive access.
Version and update interpretation
The listing shows version 6.251202.0.1175610, updated Jan 14, 2026, package size not listed, and Android requirement not listed. Newer updates can indicate maintenance, but the practical question is whether the listed Android requirement fits your device and whether recent changes explain why the app needs its current permissions and storage footprint.
Screenshot review prompts
Microsoft Launcher includes 5 screenshots in the current listing data. Use them to confirm the interface, account prompts, ads, paywalls, editing tools, game style, or workflow before you open the source page. Screenshots are evidence of presentation, not independent proof of package behavior.
Use case fit
Microsoft Launcher is summarized as: "Personalize your phone and stay organized on the go." Compare that promise with the screenshots, category, update notes, and related apps before installing.
Version and compatibility
The listing shows version 6.251202.0.1175610, Android requirement not listed, package size not listed, and last update Jan 14, 2026. These details matter because older devices, large packages, and stale updates can change the install experience.
Privacy and permissions
Microsoft Launcher does not include a permission list in the current metadata, so review the source listing and Android install prompt carefully.
Review checklist
- Confirm the developer name and source listing before installing.
- Review version, Android requirement, package size, and update date.
- Compare requested permission access with the feature you actually need.
- Read recent change notes and ratings as signals, not as guarantees of safety.
Comparison prompts
- Compare Microsoft Launcher's developer and source link with other Personalization options before installing.
- Check whether version 6.251202.0.1175610 and Android not listed match your device.
- Review the source listing carefully because FungoApp does not currently have a permission list for this app.
- Compare against related listings such as Bing Wallpapers and Managed Home Screen for feature scope and privacy tradeoffs.
Publisher notes
- FungoApp organizes public listing metadata into review notes and comparison checklists for Microsoft Launcher.
- FungoApp does not host the APK file, modify the app package, or claim independent file verification from the current data.
- The 4.7 rating with 1,719,886 rating entries is a useful popularity signal, but it should still be checked against update date, permissions, and the source listing. 50,000,000+ installs indicate broad usage, which helps with discovery but does not prove the package is appropriate for every device or privacy expectation.
