Reviews for Nova Launcher Prime

← Back to Nova Launcher Prime

Edit: *STILL* the best launcher available for Android! The updates just keep coming and yet I got Prime almost a decade ago now. Do yourselves a service and allow for donations! I'd love to be able to give a little more every so often! Apps like launchers can survive too long, especially if they're well maintained to make a one-time-purchase fair to you as developers. Keep up the great work!

I've been using the free version for the last 5-6 years and only upgraded because I wanted to thank the devs. I tried going back to the stock launcher, which just reminded me why I switched. I've never had any issues, bugs, or ads/pop-ups. It's the first app I recommend everyone with an Android device. Thank you, Nova Launcher team!!!

Best launcher, been using it for years, has so many smart additional features I don't even know where to begin. Customization is straightforward and clever. HOWEVER lately it freezes on the home page. It's happening so much that I'm starting to look for another launcher, but nothing compares. PLEASE FIX, I'm not the only one.

This is by far the best launcher for Android! It's totally flexible, gets rid of factory installed irritations, and limitations , definitely worth it. Let's me design my pages the way I want,use half-spaces, and colors and actions much better than stock Google and way better for Samsung. Can't imagine being happy using Android without Nova!!! Would gladly pay a small annual fee for the Prime version. I can never go back. Been using it for about six or seven years.

it has been great in the past, but it is now causing my phone to freeze after some use. I just had it happen again and android popped up a message "Nova Launcher has stopped responding." with the options to wait or close the app. The launcher needs to never freeze. it's still happening once or twice a day. there has been no response.

I've used this Launcher for several years and liked it despite its quirks, but the ongoing issues never get fixed. Icons routinely break, get rearranged in folders or disappear. Now, after the latest update, all of my folders are insanely tiny at 150% size, making them too hard to see. I think it may be time to start looking for an alternative. This isn't working for me.

Absolutely great launcher! I purchased the premium package and it is 100% worth it. My only complaint is that there really isn't any good holiday themes, but that's not the developers fault, all the other themes are fantastic though. The features are better, more useful, and overall make sense more so than the others I've used. Other launchers just get in the way and are an eye sore, this one is not. I rarely give 5 stars and I've used this for 2 months before writting a review. 10/10 would buy again!

Been using it on a lot of phones for a lot of years. Works perfectly every time. There are many customization options that just don't exist in stock launchers. The only problem I've ever encountered is on the Pixel 7 Pro, where sometimes the Overview/Recent Apps button doesn't work, but that's easily fixed with a restart and doesn't occur very often.

I remember downloading this like 10 years ago played with for a few and then a few years later paid for prime , didn't think much of if . But now ! Wow.. I remember there was so much junk all over my screen I didn't need I wanted the option to disable a lot of stuff and add just a touch and that's what they've done . I was using pixel launcher and thought I would give this another go , I didn't think I would keep it because pixel launcher gives me at a glance we'll this has it all!

By far the most versatile, robust, and user friendly launcher for Android. Anything you want to customize, you can. Integrations add to the available tools. 100% worth the paid version, my phone feels unusable without it. Everything you need to make you phone exactly the device you want it to be. I've gotten multiple friends to use it who all say the same! Do yourself a huge favor and upgrade to Nova.

Overall, really great launcher. I'm using this on my s8, and the only issue I have is with the app drawer. The options you have are pretty limited, as everything is always in alphabetical order, and you can't move apps around. Also the fact that you have to go into the launcher app to create folders and then pick out apps to put inside folders, instead of just being able to create one inside the app drawer, is super frustrating and time consuming.

Okay, I love the launcher. But there's one bug that drives me crazy. Pixel 8 pro, the launcher will randomly freeze up and not allow you to swipe or open the menu. Only way I've found to fix it is to just lock the screen and wait a few minutes and it'll be working again. Problem is it only seems to happen when I need to you my phone RIGHT NOW. J like trying to get directions or needing to call someone and I can't because the launcher is froze. Very annoying but still less annoying then stock

Had the free version, loved it. That's why I upgraded to the paid version, but it has glitches. Every time an app updates it creates a duplicate app. If it's in a folder, there'll be one in the folder and the other in the app drawer. It also removes the customized image on the app. Also, it needs a better way to arrange folders in the app drawer other than alphabetical.

So I'll start by saying I've had the app since 2013. I realized that I left a pretty vague review. I started with the free version, but the $4 I spent was well worth it. I no longer use the default launcher on any phone I have. This is always the first thing I install. The backups of my settings are fantastic. The ability to customize damn near everything is fantastic. This is just a 100% solid app. I very highly recommend, and I have so many great things to say about it.

I've been using this launcher for roughly 6 years. I used the free version for about 6 months and just wanted more so I bought the full version. Needless to say is was money well spent. Compared to all the other launchers I've used, this one, by far, has been the best with customizability, presentation, and feel. Everything just runs so smooth and it works stupendous for either party whether they just want a simple, clean launcher or they want a launcher to go crazy with!!

Free, Powerful, flexible, configurable. Basically it can make your device stand up and do the Cha-Cha. If you don't like how your phone looks and works, or are just tired of the same look, this is the single best App/Launcher available, for FREE. Upgrade for next to nothing and get the entire powerful suite. Worth every penny.

The launcher itself is good, and I've been using it for years. I had already paid for the prime version, and carried it across various new devices over the years. Until now. Upon setting up my latest new phone I was prompted to pay £3.99 for a new licence. Tried uninstalling from my previous device, but that didn't work. Contacted support, twice, got no response. I've ended up paying again because I didn't really have a choice, but I'm pretty livid about it.

Been using this app for about 3-3.5 years now and I gotta say, one of the best purchases I've ever made. My phone is fully customized to my liking and I couldn't possibly go back to not having it my way. Simply being able to swipe on one app to open another adds so much functionality! For example, if I tap the camera icon, it opens the camera. If however I swipe on it, it opens Google Photos. Absolutely brilliant!!!

Just purchased the paid version. I've been using the free version of this app for about three years. I've only used prob half the features because that serves my needs. There have been no issues, no confusion, frustrations, no in-your-face "Don't you want to upgrade???" pop-ups (actually, there were none at all, just a few locked features). Straightforward and easy to use. The only reason I purchased the paid version is to say thank you to the developers for creating a great tool. Thumbs up

They don't bombard you with ads what so ever. It's simple yet efficient and above all, reliable. They politely reserve a few fluffier options for the paid version. I absolutely love that. I didn't decide to get the paid version until I decided I wanted it. Every other app developer should take note of that. I don't rate things often if ever. But this app is well worth the paid version. And the free version is practically essential. I have had this app for years now, by the way. Still has yet to let me down.
