Google Now Launcher
Google Now launcher makes searching much more faster. Instead of opening any web browser, it gives a search box at the top of your home screen. You can either type or use voice commands to get started. Holding finger on home button, opens apps search window. This feature makes easier to find current app. To make app search even more convenient, apps can be sorted into logical categories. You should also pay attention to the suggestion tab, which brings the most used apps to the top of the list.
The icons are bigger than we used to see on most of the smartphones by default. They’re spaced apart very well and can fit up 6 in a row.
However, this launcher could be more customisable. We missed the ability to change main app list background, which excludes with its white color and usually mismatch most of the themes. Same goes for top search box on home screen.
In general, it’s simple and clean launcher that delivers a smooth experience.
