Thank you so much for your detailed comparison, Facundo! The features you wished most for might be available sooner than you might think 😉 If anyone has a question about or suggestion for Niagara Launcher, please let me know :)
I've been using Niagara since it's early beta. I love the minimalist look and it helped me be more productive. The music apps feature is also unbelievably handy. But would love to see the folder support soon.
I have been a Niagra user since early this year, and I love how minimalistic and organized it is. I do not like a lot of widgets on my homescreen, and I only need the ones that I use frequently, so this is the best launcher for me. I tried going back to Nova, but nah. I am so used to this simple launcher now.
It's now April 2022, almost a year after this vid was released. Full disclosure, I'm a die -hard Niagara fan. Since this video, Niagara has made even more advances in folders, streamlined customization features, implemented Android 12 style theming, widget implementation, and the list goes on. The developers are very engaged with the user community and are constantly fine tuning the launcher and working on new features, while at the same time keeping the launcher true to it's minimalist roots. I recently tried to go back to a more typical "Android style" launcher (I think it was Lawn chair), but setting it up from scratch just took too damn long. Niagara is, hands down, the easiest launcher to set up I have ever used. Thanks for the video!
Its now september 2023. And instead of costing 3 times more than Nova Prime, it now costs a whopping 6 times more. Fuck Niagara, 30€ is just absurd price for the android launcher.
Used Nova Launcher Prime, Lawnchair V2 for a long time but switch to Ruthless Launcher around 4 months ago and never looked back since then. It is light weight and has almost all the required features and most importantly free of cost. Those who haven't tried it, must try... It is just 👌
Honestly, you are the best Android channel out there; Covers every topic about android, including personalization, comparison of different launchers, and great apps to better my experience with my Android phone. I was an iphone user a year ago but changed to Samsung because of how much details your videos have about android that I didn't have to be overwhelmed. Keep up the good work!!
I've got almost all launchers premium versions like Nova, Action, Niagra, Smart etc. But in the end, I get back to Nova as primary home screen setup just because of its gestures & ability to mold perfectly into any set-up. Although Niagra is one of a kind & best looking one of the lot👍
I have been using Niagara launcher for years and love it. Although i never knew swiping up on the Google icon brings up search. That was my main complaint is i needed to click on the icon then click on search in Google app. So thanks for the tip lol
I use both but I'll have to say Niagara is better on battery life than Nova and it may take getting used to but I really appreciate it for it being different.
I have both Prime/Pro, but I prefer Niagra. I started using it when I returned to Android about two years ago, I found it to bridge the gap between Android and windows phone perfectly while remaining an original design. Nova is great too, I used to use it back in my Android 4 days.
Hey guys anybody knows what icon theme is being used in the video? At 9:28 for instance, that icon for the phone, messages, chrome, etc? Also what's the name of the font that looks comic sans-ish?
Amazing video, I didn't know Niagara. Nice launcher, specially for the minimalister like me, beautiful the Agenda view: WOW! But, onestly, is not sufficient for leave "The Launcher: NOVA!" Really thanks for this and this kind of video!
This is like the complete opposite types of launchers. Niagra replaced Evie for me and I can't go back to a standard style launcher no matter how hard I try.
I started using Niagara Pro Lifetime in Decemeber 2022. Two years have passed and I'm still using it because of its minimalistic feels. It now supports multiple widgets, folder systems, icon change for each app or set of apps, app name change, and others. I was a person of "customization" and probably would love Nova by a younger version of me. But as I get older, I prefer Niagara even more.
I love Niagara all the way! Because of it's simplicity and minimalist look. Everything I want is just in front of my eyes when I unlock my phone. And if I want to use any specific app I just tap on the Alphabets and it shows all the apps starting with that letter. I don't prefer nova because it's not for those people who tend to mess up their home screens with kwgt and klwp, it's quite a hassle for a new user. I purchased Niagara pro , and it's worth every penny here in India but in other countries like USA, it's expensive yes. Niagara ftw!
Niagara launcher is the best of the best i think i started using it when it first came out on play store and believe me i still use the app but widgets is the one think that we miss on Niagara u can only place it below time only when can't place it other than that place
I used Nova on my old phone to make it look like a Pixel, but now I have a Pixel. I do miss icon packs and being able to remove icon labels but so far not enough to switch off the stock Pixel launcher.
@@cj7073honestly it amazing, that's why I'm not bothered to upgrade, plus I'm paying way less for the sim as i haggled a better deal. If iam to upgrade I'll thinking of the fold but when it cheaper and the spen is in the phone like the note but otherwise I'm happy. Did you have the note 9?
I have a Note 9 and wanted to change to Note 20 Ultra, but that exynos 990 is a big miss fore me. The Note 9 is a hard phone to upgrade because it was AIO packaging. The Note 20 Ultra with 865+ is a good phone, but the FHD+ 120Hz is not good. I think I will buy the S21 Ultra and exchange it fore the Note 22 if it comes next year.. or in the futher fore the fold 4...
I unfortunately can't use any launchers because of their lack of recents and animation integrations. I just wish that the feature was complete on release...
Niagara still cannot backup and restore settings. They used to make them work thru Google sync or something. But that service blocked backups over 25Gb which Niagara goes over. And their their space for notification is limited which kinda sucks as I don't like their stacking method they're using at the moment.
Been a subscriber to your channel over a decade ago! You are the best really, one thing though am running a custom ROM based on Android 11 however I do have nova launcher prime but that long pressing an app doesn't bring up the relaunch option nor the save apk option, any idea how did you get those options broski?
I pretty much own every launcher that’s there in the play store. I am forced to use the default Pixel Launcher. After android 11 the gestures are super buggy when using a custom launcher.
I have the Motorola edge 20 fusion and want it to look like my old galaxy edge 6 edge plus, lockscreen, home screen, widgets etc. how do I make that possible?
I've been using Niagara ever since the Beta release years ago and I've never switched back to another launcher. now I've finally decided to purchase the pro version because I already know I'm gonna keep using it lol. I don't think 15 bucks for a lifetime purchase is too much because the quality of what you're getting is way higher and there are new features in development constantly. I'd rather pay a bit more and get an amazing launcher instead of paying $5 for something mediocre
5:05: Both Nova and Apex launchers have always had the option to "swipe up" to open the app drawer. I've been doing that for YEARS before Google implemented it into the Pixel launcher and everyone started doing the same thing. I'm talking back in the day when the first Nexus lines first came out. I remember always telling my friends..."why doesn't Google switch to vertical app drawers that you can swipe up to get to?", I found it super fast compared to all the old horizontal app drawers.
