Flow Home is a new launcher, still in beta, made specifically for social network addicts. For anyone familiar with HTC’s famous Blinkfeed, here’s its direct competitor, as well as its best alternative for anyone who doesn’t have a terminal compatible with the Taiwan app.
As said above, Flow Home is still in beta, but the app is still very functional and I was only able to detect a few bugs during the few days I used it. The only thing that reminds us that it is still in beta is the invitation code requested during installation, don’t worry, the invitation code is given on the team’s twitter account at the beginning of Flow Home.
The available social networks are the best known: Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr, Instagram. This initializer will therefore be suitable for the largest number, but If you don’t have an account on these different networks, I’m telling you right away, go your way. The advantage of this launcher, but also the disadvantage is that the limits are quickly reached in terms of news from your Nest.

Although the main purpose of this app is to have all its social networks on its homepage and it does it very well, you cannot add other RSS feeds For example It would be a big plus for those who want to have more. A drawer is always availablesimple, black background vertical, unfortunately not very fluid.
But you will rarely use this drawer, a Material Design type button will appear at the bottom right of your screen, a kind of mini drawer where you can place, access your favorite applications search module It is quite effective for finding the app you want. A minor shortcoming of a “desktop” type page It all feels the same with the possibility to use widgets.

The biggest advantage of Flow Home is that it can be customizedvarious themes are available and you can change the header images (here also has a handy mini weather widget) and make the status bar transparent, among other things.
Flow Home is a launcher specializing in social networks and only heavy users of these networks will like this app. Although this is in beta, it’s pretty well done and will allow you to see all your social feeds directly from your homepage while using your phone normally.
