This is the most extensive coverage of Nova Launcher I’ve ever seen! I’m a huge fan, and my hat tips to you for one-upping yourself once again. Awesome as always!

Been using Nova launcher since 2014, I've fixed myself with a layout in 2017 and till now, with little tinkering, using the same thing. Love it

[jeremysilva]

for anyone trying nova with the one ui 6 beta, if you have problems when leaving apps with swipe gestures, try going into "more options" in swipe gestures and select swipe from bottom. This fixed the problem for me.

I've been using Nova since my first Android in 2013 and here I am 10 years later still using this launcher as my daily driver. IMO there's a lot of launchers out there but nothing can compare to the stability and reliability of Nova! 😄

[lloydbannings]

Damn. I'm back again in this customization rabbit hole. I don't know why I always go back to Nova Launcher. I really love this launcher

[BrockMak]

I used Nova laucher for only 2 things: Stacked folders and the old Android 7 icon packs that are pre-installed on the app. It suited me because I was moving from Vodafone V8 phone to Smasung S10+.

[tomevans]

I'd say Smart Launcher has had the same longevity and support, amazing team.

My man....I have been using Nova forever, and I have been on Beta 8 since it rolled out, and there are several things you just showed me which I had no idea about. Thanks for a fantastic video.

Used nova until the point it was acquired by Branch. Moved to Niagara and it's been great except the gesture issue on Samsung devices. (I have an s23u...)

[MystiKal]

Been using Nova 8 since getting my S23 Ultra in February and it's remained my default since. Have always used Nova but stopped using it last year once the animations became a nightmare. Thankfully, that's no longer a problem.

Long live Nova 💪🏻

I hope the public release brings back folder pages, I hate how big some of my folders look when they have 20+ apps inside

[KuwaitBiker]

Great video. The quality of the production and the 21:9 aspect ratio adds to the overall enjoyment from listening to the helpful info. Keep up the good work. 👍

[dhueu]

As much as I like (and use) Nova (currently on version 7), I'm *still* waiting on support/optimization for folding phones! 😭 Currently using Z Fold 3 and will probably upgrade to either the Fold 5 or the Pixel Fold once they're both released, but the lack of optimization is killing me. Lol.

[anthonyp]

Man, it's such a shame that Nova got bought out by an analytics company or else i would make the switch from Lawn chair.

[mariotullece]

I've had a sad problem with Nova Launcher that resulted when opening apps: there was always a 1 second delay to open a app after going to the home page, that eventually drove me crazy so I went back to the home launcher (oneplus launcher btw, which is actually a good home launcher nonetheless)

[stephanflinchum]

What a video.... Being an apple fanboy for over 10 years and finally jumping to android, this video has blown my mind on what I've been missing in my life. Never again will I return to Apple. Keep up the good work Sam!

[VibeMusic]

Hey Sam! I was wondering if I should move to Nova Launcher or keep using Microsoft launcher. I just want fluidity and more hours usage on battery. Much love <3

[TamaraGirodie]

Great video! I love Nova and paid for the premium version early on, never regretted it! Though now I’m realizing just how much I’ve been missing… thank you for enlightening me Sam!

This app to apk converter is insane… I’ve been looking for something like this to preserve my favorite icon pack, Pixon, that is no longer available but still installed on my device. This will come in clutch!

[johnnykeener]

Been rocking Nova 7 on my Samsung Galaxy Z FOLD 3, can't wait for 8.

[GunKaraka]

Love the wallpaper! Is this one of your custom made ones?
