For many years, Nova Launcher was my go-to Android launcher. However, after a brief period using the standard Pixel Launcher, I found myself craving something new, fresh, and simple. That’s when I decided to try Niagara Launcher, and it turned out to be exactly what I needed.

Having used both launchers extensively, I have a good understanding of their strengths and weaknesses. While I’m very happy with my current choice and don’t see myself switching away from Niagara anytime soon, I recognize it’s not the perfect fit for everyone. Depending on your personal preferences, Nova might still be the better option for you.
