What launcher is everyone using?

[12stars]

Longtime lurker short time poster, mostly read threads and take things in. I’ve been rocking an S7 for years and just updated to the new S21 base model. From way back with Touchwiz on my S5, on the S7 I began using Nova Launcher and still do so. Now with a new phone (finally) I would like to try something new. I’m aware of some of the other launchers out there, Lawnchair, MS, One UI, and was just wondering what some of your preferences or suggestions are. TIA

Didn't know about the Google discover page. Pretty neat.

Nova for me. One UI has improved over the years but it is still lacking too many things for me to switch to it. Nova is the best launcher IMO. I've used several

One UI 3.1

I'm tempted to try other launchers besides Nova. I'm just kind of bored and want to try something new. I really like the look of the new samsung ui, but there's a couple things about I don't like. I don't like how after opening a folder of apps on my home screen, the pop up window is the same size whether you have one or 10 apps in the folder. So, I end up having to reach way up top there if I want to open the app in that top left position. Small hands. Nova folder windows are only as big as they need to be based on how many apps are in the folder.

I've been running Nova for years. When I feel the need to switch things up I'll spend time with One UI but I always go back no Nova. I'm in the Nova 7 beta and I love it. Can't wait till it's official.

I've been using nova prime for years but this time I'm using ui3.1. Except for the gestures I haven't missed using nova.

Nova Prime

Nova prime for years. My kids had samsung devices with touchwizz a while ago. I hated using them. Avoided Samsung devices as a result. The s21U tempted me for camera and it was realising that I could run nova prime that convinced me to switch. I have no regrets (it really helped that I had my nova settings backed up and just restored when I got my new phone and everything was just the way I like it.) . I do sometimes wonder about trying samsungs UI (FOMO I guess!!!) But haven't actually done it yet.

One UI launcher since they now added my only complaint which was no Google feed on the left. Now that it's there I'm fine with it.

I recommend Niagara Launcher if you want to try something completely different.

I'm also using Nova Launcher Prime...but speaking of that, is there a way to get the Google Discover Page in Nova?
