How safe are they? Most Android launchers I see are developed over seas. I know Go launcher is based out of China and there laws differ from the U.S.A's in terms of privacy. Been looking into using Buzz launcher. Has anybody had any privacy problems with any Android launchers? Including Buzz launcher?

I haven't heard about problems related to launchers. I'm using Apex, which I like a lot. Nova is extremely popular. Aviater, lots more. :)

Sure! Try it or Nova. I think the free version of Apex has more features than the free version of Nova. They're both really good. :)

If you stick to the larger, more popular launchers you'll be fine. Nova is a favorite of mine. Though, apex and Go are good ones as well - there are plenty of others good launchers, so take a look at a few and read through the comments to see if there's anything worth noting.

Was thinking about trying out and buying GoLauncher but they seem a little shady a Chinese developer has a employee who data mines. :eek:

It has a huge amount of downloads, so I'd think if they were doing anything dishonest someone would have caught it by now. It's up to you, but it seems pretty safe to try. :)

Edit: Or maybe leave Go alone. I'm seeing they may be doing suspicious things. :/
