What is Nova Launcher?

Nova Launcher is an app that replaces your regular Android launcher with a custom one. There are moments when users become bored with the standard layout brought by their smartphones and tablets. If you find yourself amongst this category of people, third-party apps that customize the Android experience are something you shouldn't miss. Plus, many launchers bring additional features we can use. For example, Nova brings different icon designs, customizable app drawer, better speed, and more.

According to numbers available on the Google Play Store, this package has gathered around 50 to 100 million installs so far. It manages to make the most out of each feature it provides to its audience. This aspect is the reason so many people love this launcher.

Speed up commands with gesture support

Performing daily activities on the phone takes some time. However, we can speed up things here and there by using gestures. Configure this behavior as you see fit by following a couple of easy steps. We can pinch, swipe, double-tap, and so on to execute various commands. Plus, the app allows us to configure swipe gestures to home screen folders and icons to perform custom tasks. Hence this launcher comes with a customizable grid you can adjust the columns and rows to fit all of your applications.

Thanks to the Subgrid Positioning, the user can get a precise feel during screen browsing. Besides, snap icons and widgets in between grid cells to be more accurate and effective. Right now, Nova Launcher allows users to customize the icons for folders with no sweat. We can pick various backgrounds and even replace the entire icon with something else. The App Drawer can be customized, as well, by applying custom effects, custom tabs. There's another handy feature here that allows the user to hide apps that aren't in use. This simple component can remove applications from the app drawer without uninstalling them from the device.

Customize the UI

Don't avoid applying different colors for your folders, labels, backgrounds, and so on. You can better track your favorite content and customize the device's UI this way. The Scrollable Dock module allows us to create multiple docks and scroll between them with ease. Using this launcher over your standard one doesn't mean that you will have to rebuild the entire screen area. Nova Launcher is capable of importing settings from other popular launchers existent out there.

Use your settings across diferent devices

Another handy feature this application brings to the table is the import-export component. We can take advantage of this function each time we switch from one phone to another one. You can back up your settings and then restore them on the other mobile device. Choose between two options: save on the cloud or locally. Cloud backup is way more convenient in comparison to the other option.

Are you the type of user who browses his phone during the night? If the answer is yes, please take advantage of the launcher's Night Mode to make things easier on your eyes. Configure this option to activate itself at a specific time. This mode also helps users save battery life because the screen uses less energy to display information.
