GoKawiilAndroid Authority ranks seven popular third-party Android launchers
A reviewer at Android Authority tested seven widely used Android launchers—including Nova Launcher, Action Launcher, Lawnchair, Hyperion Launcher, Microsoft Launcher, Smart Launcher, and Niagara Launcher—and ranked them from worst to best. The ranking was based on design, performance smoothness, feature sets, customization options, and how actively each app's developer pushes updates. Nova Launcher, once considered a top choice, was placed last in this particular ranking.
