This app uses the AccessibilityService permission for optional support of making certain system functions more accessible, such as with desktop gestures. For example screen off or opening the Recent Apps screen. Nova will automatically prompt you to enable this if it is necessary for your configuration, for many cases it is not! No data is collected from the AccessibilityService, it is merely used to invoke system actions.

This app uses the Device Administrator permission for optional screen off/lock functionality.

This app uses a Notification Listener for optional badges on icons and media playback controls.

Loved it for years, paid for premium as well. Recently I switched to Pixel 8 Pro but am encountering it freezing up the screen (but opening apps etc still works, you just can't see the screen refreshing). Happens to my friend who uses Nova premium on his Pixel 8 Pro as well. it's happening on average 1-3 times a day, hope this can be fixed.

Loved it on Samsung, doesn't seem to work well on Oppo. I've used Nova Launcher for years on my Samsung phones and they worked so smoothly. I recently switched to an Oppo phone and the Oppo UI doesn't seem to work too well with it. My home screen often freezes and disappears, everything is slow.... The notification bar disappears sometimes. Wonder if Nova is able to fix this, or I'll have to forgo either the Oppo or Nova launcher...

Nova 7 was ultra stable and great. Nova 8 really is awful. I've had my homescreen assignment changed several times, it crashes, it's crashed my phone on several occasions, and just now it's completely wiped every widget, icon, page and setting and I will now have to begin setting everything up again. Total waste of 2 hours. FFS keep changing everything for the sake of it, make sure it works before you release it.

Upgraded to a Pixel 9 Pro XL and Nova is still my go to! I love how easy and tough it is. HOWEVER, "hide clock" is nowhere to be found under Look and Feel, and I use a different app for my date and time display. I would very much like the real estate that the persistent notification is taking up back to make room for other notifications I want on my upper bar. Will an update be fixing the missing option to hide the clock?

For months there has been a serious glitch where app folders aren't displayed when they are tapped. Having to force close the launcher repeatedly throughout the day. It's ridiculous that this hasn't been fixed as it's been a problem for a long time. Have used this app on every single android phone I've had since 2011, and I've paid for Prime. However, I'm installing today

For folders, please add the ability to open the "Last item in the folder" for the Swipe gestures. Update, please add multi directional swipe gestures for folder. Swiping left, right, diagonal. The icons being 3x3, the app in the center just requires a simple tap instead of swipe, the surrounding 8 apps are accessed by swipe. That would be so overpowered!

It was great and now it's just a mess. For several months, heck id say just prior to the launch of A14 this app used to function perfectly. It had some annoyances where it kept on asking to enable certain features that were randomly associated with gestures. But now the most annoying issue has to be at least for me is the bug causing the home screen to become completely unresponsive to touch and providing no feedback or visual as to what it's opening. Icons and folders don't respond..l

I'd *LOVE* to give it 5* but facts are that this fantastic concept hangs 20-30% of the times I turn the phone on and unlock, freezing the screen (sometimes some icons disappear, groups no longer work...) and forcing me to turn off and on again. I have a Pixel 7a so it's a stock Android, nothing strange. I hold on to Nova nevertheless, because of that dreadful search box that the native launcher drops in every page taking up space for no reason...
