While this launcher's settings are somewhat clunky, it has all the launcher options you'd want and then some. Even if you're not immersed in the Microsoft ecosystem, having a scrolling page of widgets beats having to space them out over 3-4 pages. Microsoft Launcher's experience centers around a clean home screen and a smart page to the left fed by your Microsoft account, your daily phone use, and any Android widgets you wish to add.
It's one of few outside Nova Launcher to offer edge-to-edge widgets and subgrid positioning. Not only is Microsoft Launcher a completely Android-native experience, but it's a top-quality, ever-updating launcher. You'd think that if Microsoft was going to bring a launcher to Android, it'd match Windows 10 or maybe the old Windows Phone look - and you'd be wrong. While the actual theme-building power here isn't quite as adaptable as Nova Launcher, it's a launcher that works incredibly, well, quick about getting you set up and on your way. Action Launcher's developer Chris Lacy is devoted, dedicated, and is quick to jump in on Android issues that impact third-party launchers - and even iOS features, adding widget stacks from iOS 15. If Quicktheme's color palette misses the mark, you can now set Material palette colors or custom hex code colors to get a more cohesive look! This was a long-awaited feature and it makes Action Launcher much more useful to live wallpaper users and themers.Īction Launcher is also quick to support features from the newest versions of Android, or as much as can be replicated on a third-party launcher. To ensure it can be the quickest and best launcher for users who want to set everything up just so, Action Launcher has taken it upon itself to be one of the most customizable launchers on the market.įrom its robust gesture controls to its ubiquitous Covers and Shutters to hide folders and widgets under app icons, Action Launcher makes it easy to get the home screen you want. The watchword of both Action Launcher and its users is quick - Quicktheme, Quickdrawer, Quickpage, Quickbar. Easy to import previous launcher layout.Nova had been starting to feel a little bloated, but the Nova 7 update has refreshed things so it's easier for new users to jump in while still being as flexible as ever for those of us who are ridiculously picky when it comes to theming our home screens.
The launcher also recently took Nova Launcher 7 to the stable channel where everyone could enjoy the overhaul to settings and launcher look that has been in beta for a year.
If you want to ease yourself from the basic launcher to a custom experience, Nova can help you get comfortable with launcher layouts and themes. For users just getting used to third-party launchers, the "import from other launchers" feature is the most consistent and reliable on Nova than just about every other launcher I've tried in previous years. It also lets you build a home screen that is unique, stable, and solid while being as plain or beautiful as you'd like.Ī wide feature set allows Nova to achieve all these wonderful themes and let users build exactly the home screen they want, with small but infinitely useful features like subgrid positioning and a robust backup system. Nova lets your phone look more Pixel-y than a Pixel and more TouchWiz-zy than a Galaxy and does it all with ease and grace. Nova's mix of customization, convenience, and cunning is unparalleled. The reason for this continued dominance is simple. Nova Launcher has been a major player in the home screen market longer than most of us have even used Android.
