I am still using Niagara Pro on my S24 Ultra (even with my S23 Ultra) and I love it. The minimalistic design and one page is just so easy to use. Everything is is one page.

@ThePeter567 Месяц назад

One ui 6 seems to have animation problems with 3rd party launchers, at least on my phone, is the home animation choppy for you too? (3 button and gestures both)

@rajeshchandran8169 10 дней назад

Hi, I am also Using Nova but am facing an issue while opening recent apps, animations are too laggy, did you face this issue?

@rossfortin5641 10 дней назад

@@rajeshchandran8169 I have animations turned off in phone settings and in Nova app. Makes things super snappy. I do have an issue when sometimes going to recent apps where the screen only shows the wallpaper. Have to hit the recent app 2 to 3 times sometimes. Never had this issue until I got my OnePlus 12 though.

@dsinc36 3 дня назад

I also bought this a long time ago, great launcher.

@SufficientCrayon Месяц назад

Smart Launcher 6 has been my go to for almost a year now. It's very similar to Stario with sorted pages for apps where the app drawer was and a very clean and minimal look.

@LordCommanderVex 25 дней назад

Smart launcher is a lot better than Stario, not sure why it isn't on this list

@neorich59 29 дней назад

I've used Nova Launcher (paid version) for a number of years. When I bought a Pixel 6a, I was disappointed to find that you couldn't move/remove that pointless Google Search thingy. Luckily, once I'd applied Nova, not only did it remember the settings from my previous Samsung phone, but, hey presto, the Search bar was gone. Otherwise, I would've sent the phone back!

@skittlesgarage 13 дней назад

Been using Nova Launcher and Prime since it came out. Started rooting phones in 2010 and Nova was my go-to for decluttering and having a one page homepage.

@AestheticLina 19 дней назад

@MayankKumar-ru5xe 29 дней назад

Happy to see you mention Kvaesitso out there. All though it's such a great launcher, the only thing that is stopping me is the lag. Kvaesitso is still very stuttery.

@stefanvasilev9318 13 дней назад

Nova launcher 8 prime here, love it and I can make it look however I wish

@tparadox88 Месяц назад

I think I've been using Nova since my first Android phone. Every few months lately I've been thinking maybe it's gotten surpassed by newer projects and I should check out what else is out there, and then it continues to be in the latest "best launcher" videos as not only highly recommended but one of the few that's not trying to completely reinvent what a launcher is.

@FLM_OFF 19 дней назад

I've used Smart launcher 6 laucnher for months and it's pretty good but I'll probably try the Stario launcher because it looks good and it's good to not have many apps on the homescreen, so you can see your wallpaper more.

@johnszatkowski6898 14 дней назад

Listen, it ALL comes down to personal preference. Years ago I used a launcher called GO Launcher X which offered MANY features but, the Samsung ONE UI now offers all the SAME things and can set my phone up just as I want it. I did not like ANY of these "launchers" displayed here but that's just me! I'm sure other individuals will find these options preferable to them. We are all different! The fact that the Android platform has ALL these options where Apple does not just makes Android that much more appealing! Great video showing options available to people out there. 👍

@sleepyheadkitty7254 20 дней назад

tried Nova, Smart Launcher, Microsoft Launcher, Pixel Launcher, One UI, Minimalist, and Flow but still prefer Niagara. Been using it for 3 years even on Pixel and Galaxy phones. Pair with Sesame, it's the best.

@angelfromjtown Месяц назад

I'm using lawnchair 14 love it

@ssemambyamustafa8546 Месяц назад

I had to flash a custom ROM just to use lawnchair with gestures. Because Xiaomi blocked use of custom launchers with gestures

@Azharkhan3210 Месяц назад

Microsoft launcher is one of the best launchers I'm using since my Google pixel 1 to Pixel 6 now

@WaffleusRex Месяц назад

I like it quite a lot too, though I primarily use it with my Surface Duo 2 since it's the default launcher.

@nationharris Месяц назад

Maybe if they fix the animation issues with the dock I would agree 😅

@Makumbi Месяц назад

But the galaxy fold experience really really suck 😭😭😭😭😭

@KanakaBhaswaraPrabhata Месяц назад

Microsoft launcher is for me. For productivity wise it's as far as I know is the best. The one I really like is its glance page. It is collecting all the documents I recently view on any apps that I opened. Integration with my stick notes on Windows is also useful.

@shuvranshugupta6466 29 дней назад

Only problem is the recent apps page is lagging

@Amuk-mn3ni 29 дней назад

Same here, and fast on my v60.

@KanakaBhaswaraPrabhata 29 дней назад

@@shuvranshugupta6466 it might be different each base UI that runs it. i'm using One UI and the recent items with gesture is pretty smooth. not that janky like Stock UI with Launcher.

@shuvranshugupta6466 28 дней назад

Also I'm using Funtouch UI, I've noticed any launcher just overlays my default launcher. I can see my default launcher's layout blurry in the BG everytime I open recent apps.

@djomanchester Месяц назад

Smart Launcher 6? My go to launcher. Incredible error not to included on the list. Just the best. Niagra is great if you don't have many apps. Love the simplicity.

@davidjamgochian Месяц назад

@UserFourTwenty Месяц назад

I've been using Smart launcher 6 for a wee while and I gotta say; Of all the launchers I've tried, it's the best of both worlds. Personalization and productivity.

@prxbhav 5 дней назад

Love Kvaesitso, take your time setting it up according to your needs and you will never switch from it.

@jimmie_g Месяц назад

Total Launcher and Square Home are really good. Hyperion launcher may not be among the best, but it has the best animations with background zoom out/in when opening/closing apps, almost like the stock Pixel launcher, but not quite as smooth.

@DarmaniX 18 дней назад

@kev1144 Месяц назад

I use Smart Launcher as well, surprised it didnt make this list

@EfonEkpo Месяц назад

I'd vote for Smart Launcher as the best one that isn't a minimal Launcher. Earlier this month, I switched to Niagara and never looked back. I still have Smart launcher on my device just in case I change my mind but I'm not missing much so far, except for the News Page.

@maxmouse3 Месяц назад

I'm currently using Lynx Launcher and I absolutely love it. I am curious to try Kvaestiso, though. I used to use Smart Launcher but they took away features I paid for, and then Nova Launcher but it started freezing on Android 14. Since then I've been trying different launchers but haven't found one that made me feel comfortable until I found Lynx.

@krzychom1161 Месяц назад

I once remember the best lunchers were from HTC, as the weather changed along with the animated wallpaper, and this ring to unlock the screen. HTC used to make phones beautifully. Now, unfortunately, we know how it is...

@akpe Месяц назад

Moreover, HTC Sense used to have a dynamic app widget where you could put 8 of your favorite apps on three -per location- settings: home, work, outside. So when home you could have your personal apps, for work you could have productivity apps, for outside you could have maps, foursquare etc, straight on your homescreen. Haven't found a similar widget yet.
