Since Microsoft have signalled the end of support to Windows Mobile, with failing Apps expected later in the year, I am reluctantly having to look at replacing my faithful Lumia 650, with an Android alternative. I am experimenting with Squae Home 3 on my Nokia 6 Phone. Initially is looks pretty cool, and some of the Tile customisation better than WM. However I am really frustrated at the lack of real Live Tiles:
a) No News App Live Tile (configurable to MS to Google News)
b) Unable to Sync the Calendar Live Tile to my Outlook Calander (its stuck with Google)
c) Unable to sync the email Live Tile to my Outlook account (or to merge Outlook account into Gmail)
d) No Weather Live Tile
e) No Music Live Tile (aka the original Zune Live Tile being the best) against at least Google Music, if Groove is now dead.
f) No Health Live Tile (To sync calories/ steps against the Fitbit or similar)
g) No Assist Live App (At least to Google Assist, if Cortana consumer is now Dead)
Microsoft should really invest with the Square Home developers, as being a means one of the most attractive launchers into their own Microsoft Apps. If you are not on the Home Screen, your services are basically irrelevant.
Without More native Live Tiles, my Lumia 650 will remain my personal phone.
