About this app

HTC Sense Home combines the news-gathering power of BlinkFeed and the customizability of Themes to create a deeply personal phone experience.

BlinkFeed
BlinkFeed makes it easy to get all the news and media that matters to you in one elegantly arranged, constantly updated place on your Home screen.

To see your friends’ latest updates in one place, just add your social media accounts like Facebook, Twitter, Google+ and Tumblr. To get articles on almost any subject, add topics using partner apps or search for favorite RSS feeds. You can manage the topics you subscribe to in partner apps.

Around mealtime, Sense Home even sends recommendations in BlinkFeed or on your lock screen for nearby restaurants, cafés and bars. When you’re close to an interesting event, you’ll get a suggestion to stop by.

HTC Themes
Feeling imaginative? Sense Home lets you reinvent your phone by creating a theme from scratch in just two steps! Start by selecting a favorite photo for the Home screen wallpaper, then choose a style that changes your phone's icons, colors, sounds and fonts all at once.

Want even quicker customization? Download one of the stunning designs featured in the store! Follow your favorite theme designers to get updates when they publish new themes, wallpapers and Home screen components. While you browse, be sure to bookmark, comment on and rate themes you really love.

Some features of Sense Home require an HTC phone running Android 5.0 Lollipop or above.
