Sadly still the best launcher on Android, much better than newer launchers (including SL6), by far. This is in spite of things like the notifications plugin and the best themes being no longer available and backup/restore not working and searches failing if there's an ampersand in them (still a problem in the latest 6, despite my reporting it long long long ago and a number of times). It's light, fast, and just works. It's sad people have forgotten that customizable minimalism is a thing.

Best launcher if you want a clean interface. You can customize every part of this launcher and you don't have to deal with the clutter of all of your apps being on your homepage. All of your apps are organized in a start menu style app drawer. I have been using Smart launcher for years, but I downgraded to this version due to the recent changes in the current version. You can't go wrong with Smart launcher 3

This is a novel, somewhat minimalistic launcher I am taking great delight in. Super smooth, great animations. Is it possible to have more than 15 categories with text? Maybe if the category bar could slide up as more categories are added. I've memorized icons for the last 25 years and my brain is tired... I want to read text... Super job, guys. Well pleased.
