        I don't think I've spent more than a couple of dollars of my own money on Android apps… The Google Opinion Rewards app is awesome (even if it does feel a bit "big brother"), I've made about $30 in credit over the past few years since I downloaded it!

    • heli on 23/07/2015 - 16:54

      Odd - it's definitely $0.20 for me. Here's a screen grab.

      • dan1985 on 23/07/2015 - 21:46

        I'm jealous! I'd totally get it for $0.20.

    • OrbDaggerZ on 24/07/2015 - 10:51

      This is a good reason to have a phone that's 32-64Gb minimum.

      • save my dollarydoos on 24/07/2015 - 11:03

        Goddam it, just lost 1gb of my monthly allowance as it auto downloaded.

        • OrbDaggerZ on 24/07/2015 - 11:09

          Doh, that sucks.

          But didnt you get a msg saying its a large file and if you wanted to use wifi instead of data?, I did. (Samsung Alpha crap/kitkat).

          @OrbDaggerZ:

          Negative, I bought it on Chrome via my work computer.

          Then as I left, I noticed when I clicked the home button, it offered me the choice of launchers, The standard one or smart launcher - then realised it auto download then saw the GOT logo.

          Probably a setting I stuffed around with. Ah well.

          Haha

  • definitive on 23/07/2015 - 17:01

      better than nova?
      i feel funny even when you upgrade your handset to the latest then install the same launcher you dont feel you are using new handset anymore!

      • scrimshaw on 23/07/2015 - 17:25
        +5

        It's not better than Nova, but this is the launcher you should use if you are a lazy person.

        Why? You'll know it once you install it…all the app icons are automatically sorted for you.

      • ylbeethoven on 23/07/2015 - 17:42
        +6

        That's exactly what I am doing… no matter what handset I am using, I am still using the same Launcher(same layout, same wallpaper, same apps, same font etc).

        The difference between the handsets are battery life, Camera and Size.

        • Click_It on 23/07/2015 - 20:09

          I thought I was the only person who did that :)

    • pyramid on 23/07/2015 - 17:30
      +8

      I tried few launchers including Action, Nova, Smart etc but always come back to Nova. Lets see how many days i can stay with Smart.

      • scrimshaw on 23/07/2015 - 17:35
        +1

        It's a very very radical change from your typical launcher and it also takes some time getting used to.

        I do like it on my tablet because I have way more apps on my tablet than on my phone, so the auto sorting in the app drawer reduces the need for me to hunt and peck for the right app on the screen. The customisation is also very limited.

      • ylbeethoven on 23/07/2015 - 17:44
        +2

        Nova is smoother and faster but it is still the traditional way of Android launcher.

        Smart Launcher is different… But it is slower T_T

        • Click_It on 23/07/2015 - 20:12

          I've found Nova getting a bit slower lately, but I do have a lot of apps loaded so it's probably that.

          It's not the perfect launcher but it's the best one in my experience.

        • scrimshaw on 24/07/2015 - 00:01

          @Click_It:

          Too many homescreen pages perhaps, and perhaps too much customisation.

          Try losing all the complicated widgets / fonts, live wallpapers, and perhaps just stick with using an icon pack. It's much smoother once you trim the bloat.

        • Click_It on 24/07/2015 - 00:22

          @scrimshaw:

          I'll have a play with it. Don't think I have too much of that stuff going on but it warrants a good look.

      what's wrong with Google now(is it a launcher)?

      • Diji1 on 24/07/2015 - 00:31
        -1

        No it's Google's attempt to get you to reveal even more about who you are (so that they may sell your attention to third parties better) by dressing up search as a digital personal assistant. I have yet to meet anyone that actually uses it mainly because it's ****.

        • slewis69au on 24/07/2015 - 08:13

          And now an answer from someone who doesn't wear a tinfoil hat or hate google :)

          There is Google Now Launcher - which links in to google now and is the launcher to use if you want the "pure google" android experience. I have used it in the past and it's fine, a vanilla launcher. I use google now all the time because it's REALLY handy. I also use Nova on one of my tablets.

      • iridiumstem on 24/07/2015 - 08:56

        I found that Google Now drains battery really fast. It wakes the phone a lot, so the phone doesn't go into deep sleep as much as it could. I think it offers a lot though, I've seen many people trying to find the compromise between battery life and Google now because of that.

  • AngryAlfred on 23/07/2015 - 17:45

    I used Smart Launcher 2 on my smaller, old phones and really liked it, but once I upgraded to bigger phones it just wasn't usable any more. Used Nova for the longest time but now I've bought Action launcher and the full version is incredible, much preferred over any other I've tried.

    • surethang on 23/07/2015 - 21:26

      Just took a quick look at Action Launcher, but the advantages of it over Nova weren't obvious. "Swipe to load widgets" was one major feature difference I could see (but I use the more powerful "Popup Widget" for that in any case.)

      What other features do you use that aren't in Nova? Thanks

      • AngryAlfred on 24/07/2015 - 08:02
        +3

        Hmm, I have never seen popup widget before, it looks nice. The other things I like are the side app bar and the colours changing automatically when the wallpaper changes. But the popup widgets were my main thing, I didn't know there was an app for that! I know you can get slide out launcher apps too but I prefer to keep installed apps to a minimum. Why use nova/popup widget/a swipe app when I could just use Action launcher for all 3? Sure Nova has its advantages too but in daily use I was happy to give up Nova for Action.

  • Vampyr on 23/07/2015 - 17:59

  • [Deactivated] on 23/07/2015 - 18:39

    For 20c its worth a try but I think nova stopped me as my thumb was hovering over the purchase button I hesitated and yeh.

    I'll download it and I'll give it a go…. Doubt I can get away from nova prime.

    • jdt1986 on 23/07/2015 - 19:31
      +4

      For 20c, you might as well buy it and get it in your purchased app back catalogue, that way, if Nova Launcher development ever turns to sh*t (unlikely), you will have another Pro Launcher option available.

      Over the years, when they were on sale, I bought all the pro versions of the different launchers, so no matter which device I am using I have multiple options for premium launchers. I think I will always stick with Nova though, unless something changes.

      • [Deactivated] on 23/07/2015 - 21:28

        Picked it up on the end, have yet to install it.

      • Ronnnie on 23/07/2015 - 22:02

        I usually stick with stock launchers. Sometimes I use nova, it depends on the device really. When I had an HTC phone I was always happy with Sense, and now with my note 4 I am happy with TW. I know people will disagree with that. xD

        • jdt1986 on 24/07/2015 - 12:50

          The stock launchers (Google Now, Touchwiz, Sense etc) are okay, but I find them a bit basic… I love how many customisation options Nova Launcher gives you.

  • Victorious on 23/07/2015 - 19:35

    I vouch for Apex Launcher, I've been using it for years.

  • pull the lever on 23/07/2015 - 20:06

    • iridiumstem on 23/07/2015 - 22:42

      If your stock launcher is light enough, it's fine. If it hogs resource like mine did, you will feel some improvement in performance by changing it to something like Nova or Apex.
