user, you probably appreciate just how customizable and feature-rich the base operating system is. But things can always be improved, and by far the easiest way to expand the utility of your Android phone is by installing one of the many third-party launchers available on the Google Play Store.<\/p>\n<p>These launchers make fundamental changes to standard Android and incorporate new features like enhanced home screen customization and in-depth gesture command editing. If you want Android to look and function exactly how you want, a launcher really is the best way you can achieve that.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_to_Look_for_in_a_Launcher\"><\/span>What to Look for in a Launcher<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>There are a few key points you\u2019ll want to use to compare various launchers against each other.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Unique Features:\u00a0<\/strong>There\u2019s little point in installing a launcher if it doesn\u2019t offer you something new. The best launchers out there integrate new features or designs into Android to deliver something useful while not completely ripping out what makes Android, well, Android.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Visual Customization:\u00a0<\/strong>Whether it\u2019s changing UI colors or the shape of the icons, some great customization options are always appreciated. For some launchers, this is their main selling point, while others include stuff like this as a fun bonus.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Active Development:\u00a0<\/strong>For as many launchers as are currently available, there are also plenty that are no longer in development for various reasons. And when it comes to an app that\u2019s affecting your phone at a deep level, you want to make sure it\u2019s up to date. Because of that, we limited our selection of apps that are still under active development and have been recently updated.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Smart_and_Customizable_Smart_Launcher_5\"><\/span>Smart and Customizable: Smart Launcher 5<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<figure id=\"attachment_63137\" style=\"width: 1600px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-63137 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.reviewgeek.com\/thumbcache\/0\/0\/be00c4fdced060436837116d9b83e052\/p\/uploads\/2020\/12\/xf3ccdd27-1.jpg.pagespeed.gp+jp+jw+pj+ws+js+rj+rp+rw+ri+cp+md.ic.UChlatAxRT.jpg\" alt=\"Screenshots of Smart Launcher 5\" width=\"1600\" height=\"900\" data-credittext=\"Smart Launcher Team\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span class=\"imagecredit\">Smart Launcher Team<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Smart Launcher 5 is a fairly straightforward launcher, but it packs a lot of useful stuff. The custom \u201cSmartSearch\u201d search bar can pull up articles, apps, and contacts quickly, a dedicated gridless widget page allows for as much freedom as possible, and apps auto-sort into categories in the app drawer to save you some hassle.<\/p>\n<p>And that\u2019s just the stuff on the home screen; Smart Launcher 5 also allows you to fully customize gesture controls and has slick menus for switching around the location of your home screen pages (So you can, for example, make your app drawer available via a right-swipe instead of the traditional upwards-swipe.). There are also a lot of visual options available, like various app icon shapes, UI colors, and multiple fonts.<\/p>\n<p>Smart Launcher 5 is free to download, but there is a premium subscription in the app that grants access to deeper app organization, 3D perspective wallpapers, and two-finger gesture commands, among other things. For the premium version, you\u2019ll have to pay $2.49 a month, $6.99 a year, or $16.99 for a lifetime license.<\/p>\n<div class=\"download-buttons\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Get it on Google Play\" aria-label=\"Get it on Google Play\" href=\"https:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/apps\/details?id=ginlemon.flowerfree&amp;hl=en_US\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"download-button android\" src=\"https:\/\/www.reviewgeek.com\/wp-content\/themes\/lsm\/img\/xandroid_badge.png.pagespeed.gp+jp+jw+pj+ws+js+rj+rp+rw+ri+cp+md.ic.fcGjFdmOul.png\" alt=\"\" role=\"presentation\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><\/a><\/div>\n<p>.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Ol_Reliable_Nova_Launcher\"><\/span>Ol\u2019 Reliable: Nova Launcher<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<figure id=\"attachment_63138\" style=\"width: 1600px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-63138 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.reviewgeek.com\/thumbcache\/0\/0\/fd71f0b1fbdec09b13dfe5bf36e8e61f\/p\/uploads\/2020\/12\/x156005c5-1.jpg.pagespeed.gp+jp+jw+pj+ws+js+rj+rp+rw+ri+cp+md.ic.EGDcWwxUc1.jpg\" alt=\"Screenshots of Nova Launcher \" width=\"1600\" height=\"900\" data-credittext=\"TeslaCoil Software\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span class=\"imagecredit\">TeslaCoil Software<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Nova Launcher is not only one of the most well-known launchers, but it\u2019s also been around for quite a while\u2014which means you should be able to count on it to stay around.

There are a lot of options available here, so let\u2019s just go over the highlights. You can adjust the home screen grid layout (which is basically just how many apps will fit onto your home screen) and icon shapes, make substantial changes to how the app drawer looks, and easily swap between custom icon packs\u2014you can even mix and match specific icons from various packs together.<\/p>\n<p>The visual options are more than appreciated, and ensure that you can make your home screen and app drawer look exactly how you want with Nova Launcher.

Having all of your important info in one place means you don\u2019t have to switch between apps as often and gives you a better overall view of what\u2019s going on at that moment.

You now have access to a master list of apps (arranged alphabetically) that you handpick favorites from to appear when you enter the home screen. From there, you can slide your thumb along either side of the phone to access a quick menu and jump straight to the part of the list you need to be at. For what Niagara is trying to achieve, it\u2019s hard to think of a cleaner way to do it.<\/p>\n<p>Niagara also has some options for customizing gesture commands and altering how the UI looks with different fonts and themes. This launcher is free to download, but if you want access to more features, like folders and the ability to hide the Android status bar, you\u2019ll need Niagara Pro. This subscription costs $3.99 a year or $10.99 for a lifetime license\u2014the developer has stated that the price is likely to go up after the app is out of early access, but lifetime licenses will still be respected.<\/p>\n<div class=\"download-buttons\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Get it on Google Play\" aria-label=\"Get it on Google Play\" href=\"https:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/apps\/details?id=bitpit.launcher\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"download-button android\" src=\"https:\/\/www.reviewgeek.com\/wp-content\/themes\/lsm\/img\/xandroid_badge.png.pagespeed.gp+jp+jw+pj+ws+js+rj+rp+rw+ri+cp+md.ic.fcGjFdmOul.png\" alt=\"\" role=\"presentation\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><script>setTimeout(function(){!function(f,b,e,v,n,t,s){if(f.fbq)return;n=f.fbq=function(){n.callMethod?n.callMethod.apply(n,arguments):n.queue.push(arguments)};if(!f._fbq)f._fbq=n;n.push=n;n.loaded=!0;n.version='2.0';n.queue=[];t=b.createElement(e);t.async=!0;t.src=v;s=b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];s.parentNode.insertBefore(t,s)}(window,document,'script','https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js');fbq('init','1137093656460433');fbq('track','PageView');},3000);<\/script><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
