Nova Launcher

Nova Launcher is one of the best Android launchers around. It is a buttery smooth launcher which I have been using for over three years now. It is fast, efficient and lightweight. Icon packs are available in the Play Store to change the look and feel. It supports dock customizations, notification badges, an option to show frequently used apps as a top row in the app drawer, folder and icon customizations, dozen of gestures and many others. It also has support for app shortcuts found in Android Nougat. Its prime version unlocks a lot of useful features and is definitely worth a try.
