What do we think?

Just as you Install Mobo Live and you start using it, you will be guided at every step possible to make the most out of this very App. Most of us use 3rd party Apps but Mobo Live includes In-built apps which very simple yet unique and are very efficient which includes Backup, File Manager, App Manager, Battery, Cleaner and much more. The animations are snappy at all times, whether you open/close the app drawer or any Apps, on the other hand the transition effects between various screens is very attractive. The User Interface is now fast and more responsive than that of most of the launchers I have put to use.

One of the most appealing feature is the use of gestures, you can swipe from top to bottom to view Quick settings panel and swipe from bottom to top to view the Mobo Live menu. I’ve used almost all the launchers available, but Mobo Live has been the bright shine in darkness. It has served me with all the essential features and apps that any user would desire from its launcher. We shall definitely advise everyone to try Mobo Live once and we assure that you will never look back.
