Live Folders - Your opinion?

I don't know if I like live folders or not. I like the look, but since switching on 'Use More Tiles' on my 920 and getting used to the fingertip-size tiles, I'm able to fit everything I use frequently on my screen without scrolling to see more. The only tiles that are larger are those that flash news and weather.

At this point, I know where everything is and it's all a single tap away... I do have App Folder installed and have everything organized there by category if I'm looking for cooking apps, photo apps (way too many of those), news apps, etc.

Frankly, the thought of using folders to stash apps reminds me of Windows 3.1...
 
Implementing folders for the start screen is very easy. Implementing them in a way they dont suck is hard.

They did a great job!
 
3 issues.

- When you expand a live folder, it shows a blank folder above expanded items (apps).

I don't see the problem here. Tapping a folder tile is like opening a box. The contents of the box spill out to give you access to them. Box is empty. When you're done the tiles go back into the box.
 
I used folder group from iOS and Android, it did not make me happy(enough) because it's "death". Live folder in this update is really really cool for me..... I love ❤ it.
But it's will be perfect if has big(16cell) live tile 😁 and 8cell horizontal.

Yes, I really dig that effect. Very nice.

And I just figured out the Labels,, didn't think I would like them, but they are handy
We will see going forward.

Live Folders, love them.
 
I love them. I used to hate having to wait till the games app updated. Now I have a beautiful folder with live tiles that open instantaneously.
 
love them except for the bold line next to folder name when you open it it should be a little bit thinner

Games is the first folder that I created!! Hate the performance and non-usability of the Games Hub now. It does take forever to load up at times which can be quite the hassle! :cool:

Frankly, when the folders are alive, it doesn't come close to Windows 3.1... :smile:

The way that Microsoft's implemented Live Tools, it's just perfect! Sure there are a few minor tweaks most are wishing for, but it's perfect even if it doesn't change much going forward.
 
Love Live Folders!!! <3

This File folders are Awesome I love it. It makes my whole Start Screen Live even those apps which use to only show Icons even now they are live in Folders. Totally Amazing.
