      Works fine for me on XiaoMi (MIUI 12 / Android 11)

    • Kiro on 24/12/2022 - 11:20

      No, you can use gestures but you can set them up through the nova settings.

      No issue here running a custom A13 ROM

    • Shwayne on 24/12/2022 - 17:56

      Works fine on Pixel with android 13, Samsung was a little bit janky but was still functional.

      TL;DR is the "home to recent app" behaviour isn't the same as other launchers.

    Also note it's been acquired by an analytics company - although they've so far apparently not used customer data (according to them).

    A few posts about it on Reddit including an AMA that didn't go too well.

    • Loopholio on 25/12/2022 - 20:20

      For this reason I started using a different launcher. Before this I had used Nova for many years. It's a great app. :(

  • darkly on 24/12/2022 - 11:09

    Love this app, bought it on 2 different accounts previously

  • Gurras on 24/12/2022 - 11:10

    Is there a way to have recently used apps at the top of the app drawer, instead of frequently used apps? Or another good launcher that does allow it?

    • corepda on 24/12/2022 - 14:33

      It is one of the options when you search using pull down gesture.

      • Gurras on 24/12/2022 - 21:00

        Thanks, hadn't noticed that.
        Is there a way to have it permanently at the top of the drawer like the frequents though?

          That's pricey for a launcher.

        Good for you. Note 10 isn't getting updated anymore. So doesn't apply to what I said…

        • CyberMurning on 24/12/2022 - 15:49

          I have android 12 and one ui 4.1
          Thats not the latest?

          • scuderiarmani on 24/12/2022 - 15:50

            @CyberMurning: Android 13. One UI 5.0.

            I question whether (not you) most here have actually used One UI in recent years.

            Sure, an unsupported phone, I can justify it.

    • scupper on 25/12/2022 - 12:05

      The real reason for me is to get my layout back whenever I change phones. I can get used to any UI.

  • montorola on 24/12/2022 - 11:19

    Dumb question but if I buy this using my google account "X" then I log into another phone with Google account "X" do I get it for free there?

    • BarneyKB on 24/12/2022 - 11:23
      +2

      yes, it is essentially an app so if you buy it on your account you can use it on multiple devices.

    • Drakster on 24/12/2022 - 11:24
      +1

      That's right. As long as the device is tied the same Google account used to purchase, you can install it across multiple devices.

      Samsung's default is actually fantastic these days. Improved 10 fold compared to say S4ish days.

      • Forgot69 on 24/12/2022 - 11:32
        +2

        Yep. Grab "Good Lock" for your Samsung phone and you can customise the launcher even further. I've no need for 3rd party launchers anymore.

      • Hahuh on 25/12/2022 - 00:51

        Still no vertical app list.

        Does good lock fix that?

        • BadGiraffe on 26/12/2022 - 22:48

          Yes, but there are better implementations. I personally go with the Microsoft launcher. Seems to improve battery performance as well.

          • Hahuh on 10/01/2023 - 13:31

            @BadGiraffe: That's good to know. I myself would definitely get a launcher if I have a Samsung phone. For the ones that already like the Samsung launcher; I'd recommend that good lock module.

            • BadGiraffe on 10/01/2023 - 18:22

              @Hahuh: After I got the One UI 5.0 update, I thought I'd give One UI another shot. Yes, Good Lock is definitely a must try for new One UI users. The first thing I did was make my app draw scroll vertically.

              5.0 has improved things, but I might go back to the Microsoft launcher. Battery life with One UI is alright. Not much of an improvement since the last one.

    • lachlantula on 24/12/2022 - 11:52

      stock is certainly nicer but nova still remains super customisable in comparison.

      • scuderiarmani on 24/12/2022 - 12:11

        As above, Good Lock and Stock is all you need, even more so for Fold devices.

          +4

          well for you perhaps but i personally appreciate the customisation of nova!

    • O15 on 24/12/2022 - 12:45

      I remember when I used to care this much about customisation. Other things become more important.

    • jinkerjinx on 24/12/2022 - 12:52

      the default stock makes me rage and puke.. i'm sure it's customizable but i found it easier to install Pear launcher and go from there.

    • sane on 24/12/2022 - 13:02
      +3

      Stock has been getting worse and worse - imposing what google idiots think is trendy onto you (stoopid whitespace usually), rather than giving you the choice of how it works.

      Nova ensures that you can get what YOU want.

    • syme321 on 24/12/2022 - 13:34

      Agreed although it is good for setting up a phone for seniors as you can lock things down

    • Trishool on 24/12/2022 - 17:46
      +1

      Stock is missing basic things like being able to create folders in the app drawer. So stock is not fine.

    • G-rig on 26/12/2022 - 08:27

      Agree for Pixel, no need for launchers but it seems they can be an improvement on Samsung UI and devices.

      Got Nova for $1 last time but have never bothered with it - no gestures. Also no point if they use more battery.

      • klaw81 on 29/12/2022 - 11:04

        I still use Nova on Pixel 7 - I really like the ability to remove unused apps from the app drawer so it's less cluttered with junk.

        I tried sticking with the stock launcher for a week or two but couldn't cope. Restored my Nova setup from a previous phone and all was well.

        • G-rig on 29/12/2022 - 11:08

          Depends what you are used to I guess.
          I think the stock is fine, the most common/recent apps are quick to find from the bottom search bar, and just start typing the app name anyway.

          Launchers and Roms were more necessary back in the old days of the XDAs and those phones, not necessary imo for pixels (probably for Samsung with all their junk is alright). Doesn't hurt to test anyway.

          PS I just turn off animations and the pixel 7 very zippy.

    Is it safe to download and use everyday. Don't they collect your app data like banking details, emails, documents etc. Just curious to know. After Optus, Medibank, Eufy news.

    Used to always use Nova Launcher, especially on my old LG G6 and my 2013 Sony Xperia Z which both frankly had terrible UIs. Now on a POCO, and the stock launcher is actually really clean and works well, so I haven't had to use Nova Launcher. Still a really good pickup though if your stock launcher isn't sufficient. For $0.10, it's a no brainer

    • ngengerous on 24/12/2022 - 19:43

      Not great for the Fold phones. The developers have been notoriously stubborn when it comes to the Fold devices, stating that they have no intentions of supporting them. You can't have separate layouts for your internal and external displays, which makes it pretty much useless IMHO. Samsung's stock launcher is much better.

      • GLO on 24/12/2022 - 20:06
