Ratings and reviews

Really good but sometimes glitchy. Overall I really like this to make the UI more flexible on my OnePlus prior to recent core OS updates. The one weird thing with this the Google Companion addon that works great when it works but when it doesn't there is really no way of telling why it doesn't work. It seems solid now but who knows what future updates will do.

I accidentally removed my home screen with 10 folders while I didn't have a recent back-up. I had to manually recreate it and complained to the developer about the functionality in general since an update 2 years ago and the lack of a confirmation dialog before removing an entire screen. Apparently there is a "undo" button but only for 4 seconds. The developer replied within 24 hours. I really like this launcher and don't need ongoing updates. For me it just works and I am making backups again.

It's not often I leave good reviews because I am very critical of apps, and for good reason, many of them have buggy features, are prone to issues like battery usage, frequent ads, and data harvesting. I have been a user of Nova for years and also paid for pro (it is well worth it to support this developer). The app is well maintained and efficient across multiple versions of Android, and I've personally never experienced a bug. I would recommend this launcher to anyone who is looking for one.
