With Action Launcher I jumped right in with Pro version which is priced at $3.99 and will say that my previous reservations about this launcher was due to the focus on widgets. Basically Nova Launcher provides lots of options for customization and it should be good for those looking to make things look a bit more to their liking. It is also nice being able to have and scroll through multiple docks. Some of the smaller features that I enjoy is the ability to adjust the icon size and even add more than the standard amount of apps into a dock. With Nova Launcher you can also bulk add apps to the desktop or a folder, you can overlap widgets and even add a 1×1 widget into the dock. With this version you can expect color themes, the ability to change the accent color, icon themes, a scrollable dock, infinite scroll and much more. Rather than focus on the Prime version, lets continue with the free version, which is what I had been using. The free version is rather full featured, however the paid ‘Prime’ version does include some worthwhile extras such as folders in the app drawer, gestures, dock swipes and unread counts. Yandex.Shell is free, but Action Launcher is $3.99 so if nothing else, maybe I can answer the question as to whether others should shell out the $4 or continue watching the app and seeing what future updates bring. That said, Yandex.Shell looks really nice and Action Launcher has some cool sounding features and they both seem worthy of at least checking out. I should also admit that I am going into this with a bit of bias as I really like Nova. The few that are being looked at today include Action Launcher, Yandex.Shell and Nova Launcher. With that in mind, now seems like as good a time as any to check out some of the alternatives. Despite using and really liking Nova, I had been been keeping an eye on Action Launcher and was recently wowed by the looks of Yandex.Shell. Personally I have tried quite a few, but have been a long time user of Nova Launcher.
