Nova or apex launcher?

What do you like better? The only thing I noticed is apex let's you use the widget feature in the app drawer.

Go launcher is better than both of those I think.

I personally like apex better.

I've only tried the free versions of them though, as the free apex has all the features I need.

I like Apex better aswell.
The double tap option and gestures are great.
It also allows you to resize any widget.

Going with Apex so far.

I've been happy with Apex on mine. I have installed Nova in the past but didn't really give it a fair test - so I'm not going to give a yay or nay on that.

I did end up buying the Apex Pro to get the notification icons for SMS, email, etc and have been very happy with it.

Got Apex Pro and never looked at Nova again.

I didn't use Nova for long so I can't really say if I like it or not, but I'm very happy with Apex Pro.

Thanks everyone. I'm going to stay with nova. It seems a lot faster all around.

Nova is actually supposed to have better battery life than Apex. So I use nova....

Might not matter to most but I prefer the support from Nova's Dev.

I definitely agree with you there. Nova Launcher seems to be a lot more smooth. As a comparison, swipe through the widgets in the app drawer. There's a tremendous difference just in that aspect. Scrolling and swiping feels so much smoother all around.

I use nova for this reason. Also, the other launchers zoom in on wallpapers for some reason. Nova's wallpaper scroll doesn't seem to work though. Give and take I guess.
