Turn Your Desktop Into A Hotbed For Fun Miniature Apps.

Float - Make Desktop Fun Again is an app that allows the user to add widgets, some unique and others based on existing apps, to their desktop.

Widgety and fidgety

Float can be used to add any of dozens of widgets to your desktop. You can configure them, move them around on your desktop, change how they float, and use them multiple different ways. The app itself is largely feature complete, outside of requiring many apps associated with widgets to be open with no way to "hide" the associated app in the Dock. A bigger issue is the widget selection: though it's frequently expanded and the developer takes suggestions, there's basically no way to find widgets for a purpose you need if you don't find them right away.

Building a new desktop

Overall, Float is an easy and fun way to customize your desktop and get a bit of functionality and, as promised, fun that few other apps can offer on their own. Its deficiencies are easy to overlook if you find the widgets useful enough, and there's enough variety there that most users probably will.

In Softonic we scan all the files hosted on our platform to assess and avoid any potential harm for your device. Our team performs checks each time a new file is uploaded and periodically reviews files to confirm or update their status. This comprehensive process allows us to set a status for any downloadable file as follows:

Clean

It’s extremely likely that this software program is clean.

What does this mean?

We have scanned the file and URLs associated with this software program in more than 50 of the world's leading antivirus services; no possible threat has been detected.

Warning

This software program is potentially malicious or may contain unwanted bundled software.

Why is the software program still available?

Based on our scan system, we have determined that these flags are possibly false positives.

What is a false positive?

It means a benign program is wrongfully flagged as malicious due to an overly broad detection signature or algorithm used in an antivirus program.

We’d like to highlight that from time to time, we may miss a potentially malicious software program. To continue promising you a malware-free catalog of programs and apps, our team has integrated a Report Software feature in every catalog page that loops your feedback back to us.

Flag any particular issues you may encounter and Softonic will address those concerns as soon as possible.
