Jolla and Rovio release Angry Birds Stella Launcher


In collaboration with Rovio Entertainment, Jolla publishes the exclusive Angry Birds Stella experience with a special themed Android launcher.

The launcher features the multitasking user experience of Jolla's Sailfish OS and adds Angry Birds themed wallpapers, ringtones and an unlimited access to Rovio's ToonsTV. 



The launcher is made available for free to download at the Chinese Taobao and UC application stores. Further Android stores will be added very soon. "Angry Birds Stella Launcher by Jolla" is a further development of the Jolla Launcher announced in June, but seen as a different project. A neutral, non-Angry Birds launcher is still under development. 

A right/left swipe on the multitasking-view activates ToonsTV where you can watch several Angry Birds episodes (place where you can change your ambience on Sailfish OS). From time to time the Stella bird moves over the screen to help you navigate within the launcher and there is settings icon to manage pulley-menu shortcuts and phone vibration.

The colorful launcher needs Android 4.3 or higher and runs best on a screensize of 4" to 5.5"





Peter Vesterbacka, Mighty Eagle of Rovio comments:
“Our Toons.tv has racked up more than 3 billion views and with the Angry Birds Stella Launcher all this fantastic content is just one swipe away. With Angry Birds Toons Season 2 and the Angry Birds Stella animated series just around the corner, we are delighted to offer the Angry Birds Stella Launcher to all our fans with Android devices together with Jolla, the mobile company from Finland.”

Sami Pienimäki, Co-founder and Chief Marketing Officer of Jolla comments:
“The Angry Birds Stella Launcher is a fantastic example of the capabilities of Jolla’s launcher as a platform for high value brands such as Rovio's Angry Birds. Our long co-operation with Rovio has been a great journey, and we are excited to announce this exclusive version of the Jolla Launcher for all Angry Birds fans around the world, free of charge.”
