  • (2014-05-08) UPDATE: Well,I've decided to go to something else. I move around a lot with my job and having to re-type all the linke (a lot) over and over just doesn't cut it any more. Too bad, this was the best that I've found so far. This is a great start page and I use it on all my computers and therein is why it only got 3 stars. Having to type in over 14 links on each computer. Add someway to sync the data across computers or at least to back it up and copy it and 5 stars you will get.
  • (2013-08-28) aayush jariya: cool just like windows 8
  • (2013-08-02) Rohan Tuli: How do you delete this?
  • (2013-01-31) Brett Lutchman: Allow the user to upload a URL to use a background image as a background instead of just colour. Also, when the user clicks on 'Sorted' to organize their links alphabetically, it doesn't remain 'sorted' it always changes back to 'Unsorted'. This needs to be fixed as well. A very sharp and sexy looking app. Make these changes and I'll give it 5 stars.
  • (2012-10-15) Иван Петров: Looks great with some window managers like Awesome, Ratpoison, etc...
  • (2012-08-04) Jeremy Choo: Awesome especially if you just LOVE metro. The only reason why I didn't give a 5-star is due to the small scroll box and tight spacing. Still loving it though!
  • (2012-06-24) Timothy Stewart: was ok until the new version required too much personal information. It requires access to all of your web data, favorites, history, etc. No thanks, uninstalled.
  • (2012-06-06) David Bailey: Really simple yet really effective. A lot better than "metro new tab page". The only bad thing I would say is to remove most apps you have to disable it to access the normal chrome://newtab page so that you can delete them; only some offline apps show on the extensions manager. Otherwise, it is fine though. :-D
  • (2012-05-30) Alex Shepard: Customizable text based menus? Handy.

  • (2012-02-06) Apourv Patinge: Good one. Need polishing.
  • (2011-12-20) phil jay: too clumsy, text is rendered badly, wrong colors, no favorites, no recent pages, typography not used right.
  • (2011-12-17) Sean Rapp: This is great and definitely worth trying out.
  • (2011-11-09) Євген Демиденко: Don`t psend your time & don`t try it.
