I bought and paid for Nova Launcher like 15 years ago and it’s been my go-to for that time; however, over the last year or so it’s been abandoned and is a buggy mess.

What ship should I jump onto? (stock google launcher is giving me the ick)

    Niagara. It’s simple and clean. All I need is an app drawer and a few favorites, and that’s basically what it provides.

      Same here. It’s very smooth. I wish there were a few other customization points, I’d rather use my own weather app than the built in one, and I do, but then end up with different forecasts as they use different sources.

      Minor complaints, but still a little friction that could be solved.

        They actually fixed my minor complaint which was allowing folders on the home screen so big props to Niagara for that one.

          Agreed. They have steadily added new features that don’t bloat the experience. It’s just a little too constrained for my tastes, but the rest of the Polish makes up for it.
