Good app. Make a way to get rid of those annoying ads!

Its a great app for Windows phone lovers I came across this app in a youtube video and I have been using it ever since to relive the good old Windows phone days. The only thing I wish this app had is the ability to move tiles and rearrange them without having to remove all widgets. That is the only reason why I did not give it a 5-star rating.

The app is very easy to use, however the scroll speed is just simply too high. If you scroll in an app it normally moves the same speed as your finger while here it's moving about twice as fast which is quite a rather jarring thing, and doesn't feel right. And there isn't a setting to adjust the speed
