The ui is very intuitive and well thought out. It's definitely the best launcher out there. The design is very modern and clean. There's no unnecessary animation to slow down the phone. The amount of customization option is plentiful. Go buy the pro unlock. Trust me, it's the best money you will ever spend.

Great app that really allows you to make it your device. Was so happy to kill the TouchWiz Home app and all the crashes that came with it. App runs smoothly, has great choices, and setting selections of just about every type. Highly recommended.

Hey been using this app for awhile and it's great! One problem I've encountered is that when I download an icon pack, I can't change icons to alternative ones, could you add that please! Thanks guys and keep up the good work

So... App drawer transparency is gone. Tried to change colour, etc. Nothing works. Used to work well, but latest version is a disappointment. And I've been a Pro user for years!

This thing is a beauty. It is clean, fast, smooth, and very customizable. Want your phone to look like an S8? Nova does that. Want it to look like a Pixel? Nova does that as well. On top of that, you can just do your own thing-it's very flexible, which makes this app awesome

Youtuber Matt OnYourScreen has discovered a pretty unsettling way to bypass all of the security on an LG V10 and potentially gain unlimited access to the device in the future. Any LG V10 running Nova Launcher..

Have used for years. Great launcher. Newest version is auto hiding my dock, and everytime I re-enable it, it defaults back to disabled for some reason. So I left it disabled and just used app widgets to launch the same things in my dock instead

By far the greatest launcher on the Play Store. I moved to Nova after a long time with Google Now Launcher and don't regret the switch. Great levels of customization and excellent developer support. Fast and elegant to use.

Wanted a launcher that allowed me to be more productive with options that made the phone easier to use. Tried a few others but they all missed the mark. Nova Prime is the launcher you want if you're looking to boost productivity - it's easy to make a clean looking home screen with everything only one touch away. No need to play hide and seek with all your apps in one folder or burying them in a folder tree that takes several touches to navigate.

Hello there. I have bought the paid version of Nova Launcher quite sometime ago and I love of having your service that far. I am now changing my gadget with the new one and still using the same Google account. I have just tried to download your application but you don't recognize my account, so it asked again for the payment. Can you please help to fix this? Thanks.

This is the best launcher I have ever had on my phone. I love the idea of paying for extra functionality. Rather than paying so that I'm not constantly bombarded by ads. Thank you very much Tesla coil software! Ya'll outdid yourself. Customizations are fantastic. Lots of options but not so many that you're going to spend the whole day just trying to figure out how you want your screen to look. The only problems I've had with that far sometimes the apps I put on the screen what a float down to.

Nice launcher. Almost everything is customizable

Only launcher I've used for my last two phones (still using 2 year contracts so that's gotta mean something). My only complaint is that you can't place items on dock pages from the app drawer without placing them on a regular home screen then switching pages and moving the app from there (the dock pages don't switch just from holding an app over the edges). Getting prime ASAP though! Love Nova Launcher!

It is a good app but I wish their could be more features to the free version. This is due to the fact that nova launcher's competitor (action launcher) has done so. I would really love it if you guys could take my opinion into count. But overall this is an amazing app, it is very simple and snappy.

by O####:

Obviously, nova is the best. Have tried so many launchers but always settled back on nova. I recently bought prime key but it's just the gestures and badges and customization on icon sizes which are already available for free from other competitors. It's just I expected more. And could you please let O style badges to show when I got some unread notifications in app rather what's on the notification panel?! Please! TY. Be the best!✌

I've been an avid user of Nova for 5 yrs., and l love it and highly recommend this launcher for its ease of use, the huge selection of options and settings, and themes make it a staple app for all my android devices. Also I have yet to ever have Nova crash on me, and hasn't happened in the 5 yrs either! Keep up the great work Nova team, excellent app!

Got rid of that nasty Google search banner at last! Also prefer the black background on the menu, better for eyes. I now have a beach view across four Windows with one shortcut on each. Open space look on my android. Smart phones and tablets take advertising to a new level. This app improves looks.

UPDATE: Wow, I had NO IDEA that Nova was so superior to Google Now. Decided to give it another try and took the time to explore and I'm glad I did. Endlessly personalizeable and fantastic options for customization. LOVE IT. Deleted Google Now Launcher sad to say. Nova's that good. Now my phone looks like a true Android phone.

There is a persistent Google search bar in which the app drawer icon is integrated, which feels odd after having two app drawer icons on the homescreen. There should be some renovation. But, by the way this launcher is super-fast, beautiful and very customisable. But I would love to see more "Persistent Search Bar" styles and "App Drawer Animation​" styles & "App Animations" in the future updates. And, even on most of the popular apps on the Play Store, the long-pressed quick toggles on the icon in the app drawer and on the home screen are not available.

by Y####:

Fantastic, I love the existing UI on my Oneplus 5, and the lightness of this app allows me to retain that while giving me more options to tweak features, eg custom icons. Would have liked to see status bar hidden throughout apps though, I paid for the full version expecting that but was dissapointed when it only hid status bar on home screen. Otherwise great app

I was not impressed with the default launcher that came with my ZTE device. This app is awesome! I am very particular about the aesthetics of my Android OS. This app offers many features that other launcher type apps on the Play Store did not. There were many optional advanced options to tweak with as well. Thank You!

I Love it! Definitely way better than stock launcher like they say. Came to my rescue when the one touch launcher crapped out and wouldnt start on my phone...I am greatful for this launcher! Now, I just have to find a better keyboard for this phone and a way to get other fonts on both my phones! Any suggestions are appreciated Thank you guys for a launcher so cool! 7/15/2017... Still loving it! I recommend it highly to all my friends

The multiple docks are great and I like the different effects. Just can't figure out how to get it to stop vibrating upon touch. Its not my phone's settings that's doing it. Edit: It's been a while since my first review (2013). Don't see haptic feedback anywhere so, that's good for me, but more than that, Nova has completely surpassed Apex for me (which is the launcher I chose back in 2013). Makes me wish I bought Nova Prime instead of Apex Pro. Nova has a very up to date feel while Apex seems to lag behind a bit, visually speaking. I think I'll def keep Nova this time. ^_~

One thing I would like added is for the status bar and navigate bar to be semi-transparent instead of just transparent or not. I use tasker to change my wallpapers randomly. Some of them are dark, some of them are light, and sometimes I can't see the status bar icons when they're all white. Also can there be an option for removing the long press notification that the desktop is locked. I know I locked it, and, if I really need it unlocked, I could go into the settings.

One of the best launcher out there. High customization without being too cheeky. Nova had been the one and only bearable launcher so far. I have tried many others, but this seem to fit my need the most out of so many others. I have been using it for almost a year now and never turn back to others. Got myself the Prime for gratitude.

Truly an asset to the android world! Google need to take note of Nova Launcher because they really know how to make a fantastic launcher! I would never spend money on a phone app previously but this app has seriously tempted me. Can't recommend enough, don't bother with the Google launcher because it's not as good as this, do your self a favour and download this app! 10/10!!

Latest update is just weird. It made my nav bar appeared all the time. It's annoying as I've already set my nav bar to automatically hide from the system setting. Now the launcher make it visible the whole time. At least put a button inside nova setting where I can turn it off.

Efficient Performance and a lot more customization options. No matter which android phone you're using, this NOVA LAUNCHER provides you to customize your phone the way you want. With a crispy user interface, probably this is the best launcher I've ever used... And also a very low power consumption indeed.

Hey I love Nova Launcher! Love its snappy responsiveness, love its high customisability, and I love its stability and that I've never had it crash! Unlike the short comings of many of other launchers I've tried in the past, this one beats all the others hands down! My compliments to the developers, who I think could develop a whole feature rich and stable operating system!

C70%
by C####:

It's a great launcher, the only thing it needs to be perfect is some sort of sensible layout rotation for when you turn your device on its side (eg. split top/bottom to left/right). Currently everything just spreads out or bunches up.

I cannot get enough of this launcher. Honestly, it is by far the best Android launcher on the market to date. One thing that I love about it is that it is fully compatible with bluetooth keyboards and mice out-of-the-box; one thing that very few other launchers have. Beautiful UI and brilliant features; I will be sure to buy the prime when I can get my Google Wallet issues sorted. Thumbs up!

I switched seriously I switched to Evie launcher just because of its search bar and it's convinience to access it and search Google, contacts, apps, play store.... It lacks customisations but I don't customise all day but I search contacts and apps though.. will switch back if Nova adds something like it(I know similar option can be added by adding a swipe down gesture but it feels a little slower than Evie because of animation stuff)... Will come back to Nova when search access is added with contacts search. Two stars to make more noticeable. Will update ratings in a week.

The launcher has been working well until I thought I should try a newer app. I enjoy the games mostly single player. So I will often try something new. I will remove the older games if they are not playable or do not work well. The newer launch widget did not work well. Jerky and shutting off screen frequently. So I have returned to the original launcher app.

One of the best launcher which I have experienced. EDIT: For the past few weeks, I have seen some anomalies with in this app. Battery drains very fast. Also it opens different apps when I click on some other app. The latter happened many times. I am using Redmi 3s prime

Feature request: Frequently used app page with reverse sort. ~~I have tried many launchers even before Nova. Still I tryout new launchers. Nova is the best I found so far. Less bugs, simple to use. Thank you guys. ~~UPDATE: Tried some more launchers. Non of them satisfied me.

I've used this launcher for years now on every phone I've had. My only issue is that on occasion it resets the layout to the default and all the app settings. I have quite a few rather large folders on my home screen and it takes AGES to set it back up again. Quite frustrating sometimes. Other than that, great though, I bought the pro version.

What a great app. Using it as deafult with kgwt. Looks great. One question though - Is there any way so I can swipe the home screen and dock page simultaneously?! I need left home screen page to be my widget only and not the dock there to use full screen.

It has sadly become a little unstable since the last two updates… Nothing catastrophic, just closing Nova and restarting it… It's just a niggle nothing to make me go elsewhere.

Great APP. Almost too customizable, for a "Android Village Idiot" I fo Remember when first started looking at it that there were tons of themes and icons on all that now that I have it I can't find them. That is a "cockpit" problem. GREAT APP !!!

SGS5 : Just installed this launcher again and the weather widget is not working correctly. At times it states no network. Even with both WiFi and data turned on. I really like this launcher, but when I look for themes all I find are icons. Found a lot for cml, but don't like that launcher.
