AndyHome is an alternative search engine and homepage for Android tablets. By combining intuitive design and easy to use search options, AndyHome seeks to provide a superior experience to those found on most generic Android tablets. AndyHome is a perfect fit for virtually every tablet running standard Android OS; the app integrates itself seamlessly into the existing infrastructure, ensuring no features are lost upon installation. AndyHome strives to add a wide number of new options for Android users and succeeds in this endeavour more often than not. Searching, text-to-speech and general performance are all enhanced by AndyHome.

While the software is versatile and easy to use, it does have some issues. On older hardware, AndyHome's more CPU intensive features, such as app recommendations, can cause some noticeable slowdown. That said, this issue doesn't appear nearly as often on newer hardware. Additionally, AndyHome can be difficult to uninstall. The software integrates itself into Android devices OS so seamlessly that removing it can cause a number of obnoxious side effects: loss of data, lost contacts and other similar issues can arise on uninstallation. For those looking for an alternative to standard OS options on Android hardware, AndyHome is a potentially great fit.
