I just got Nova Launcher Prime (it's on sale for $1 rn for those interested) after seeing the immense amount of praise it receives. I've already begun to change settings to optimize the experience for a Google Now Launcher user such as myself, but can anyone give me some tips? You know, features that give me my money's worth that aren't available on a Google Now Launcher. Much thanks!

Nova is full of interesting features that you will discover in no time. For me some of the most useful are:
- Swipe up actions. You can define two different actions for the same icon. For example, create direct dial widgets for your favorite contacts. Tap to call and swipe up to open their specific chat in, let's say, WhatsApp. Or open different accounts from the same Gmail icon. Endless possibilities. This also applies for folders on your home screen.
- Gestures. Use them to open apps, settings, expand the notification bar, screen off, etc.
- Nova Activities. Get access to almost anything in your phone. Explore this feature, it's amazing.
