Nova Launcher is one of the most popular and powerful Android launcher packed with lots of features. It lets you tweak the phone’s home screen and customize most of the things. For those who do not want to do things manually, Nova Launcher offers detail settings.

3. Pixel Launcher

Pixel Launcher is the same that was used in the Google Pixel and Pixel XL devices. It comes with new design and somewhere I found it better than Google Now launcher.

The Pixel launcher looks good and does most of the jobs you would like your phone’s launcher to do. It performs smoothly. You have App suggestions, swipe left to go to Google App and few gestures and more.

This launcher works best if you are running the latest version of Android and few features are not supported by most of the phones. This is the reason I am listing it at the third place.

Nougat Launcher is also a strong alternative to Google Now Launcher. It has many similarities including the app drawer style, swipe down in app drawer to search and more.

The launcher is packed with many customization options and allows you to adjust the colour of the app drawer, the size of icons, and even change the theme. You can also enable many gestures to perform most of the tasks quickly.
