Has anyone downloaded the Google Now launcher for their S7 or S7 edge?

I'm thinking about downloading a third party launcher onto my S7, so I wanted to know if the Google Now Launcher is fast on the S7. Is it faster than stock Touchwiz?

Google now is generally a pretty snappy launcher and so is nova

I just noticed that it hasn't been updated since October. I wonder why.

Updates come with the updates to the Google app.

How so?

I had it but turned it off as it actually used up more battery than TouchWiz did. I still prefer GN but I go where the battery longevity leads me.

Make it so.

I'm more interested in performance than battery life. Between Touchwiz and the Google Now launcher, which one is smoother/faster?

Just because you install a launcher, TouchWiz doesn't go away. The phone is still running TouchWiz in the background.

Still, is the Google Now Launcher more smooth than Touchwiz?

You can always download it and then remove it if you don't like it.

I just wanted to see if it was the worth the time/effort in setting it up

I have had Nova and went back to TW for the past few days. Both are snappy and I even downloaded a few themes. I actually don't have a problem with TW on this s7.

Don't know why, but the app isn't posting all my screenshots and they're blurry

I use now launcher and find it tonbe snappy and great, if you use cards it's a plus and with Google keyboard and a material theme if feels somewhat stockish

I am using Google Now launcher. I installed it right away. No complaints at all. I feel as comfortable as when I used my Nexus 6P. I ensured to do the screen tweak with Nova though to get more screen real estate.
