The Best Android Launcher of 2017

**Designing Your Dream Launcher: A Top 10 List**

When it comes to customizing our smartphones, one of the most often overlooked features is the launcher. The launcher is what makes your home screen look and feel unique, and with so many options available on the market, choosing the right one can be a daunting task.

For this article, we will be exploring some of the top launchers available for Android devices, each with its own unique set of features and benefits. We'll delve into six applications that are instantly accessible with one click, and discuss their pros and cons. We'll also examine eight other launchers, including Arrow Launcher, Zen UI, SAP Launcher, Eevee Launcher, Lens Launcher, Nano Launcher, and Total Launcher.

**Six Instantly Accessible Applications**

When designing our ideal launcher, we essentially pick six applications that we use the most and those are all instantly accessible with one click. Fortunately for the restaurant, these applications don't select are a little bit harder to get to it can take up to four clicks to get the application you want and it's a little bit difficult sometimes to use with one hand. We also have a pretty handy search feature on top that searches everything from your applications to your settings to your messages.

**Arrow Launcher**

Our first contender is Arrow Launcher, a high-performance launcher that's designed to give you more control over your smartphone experience. It offers features like the ability to turn on high performance mode, as well as kill background apps. However, it does consume a little bit more battery than alternative launchers. The nice touches of this launcher include swiping to the left, which gives you almost a summary of everything going on on your smartphone, and customization options that can be customized quite significantly.

**Zen UI**

Our next contender is Zen UI, one of the highest-rated launchers on the entire Play Store. When you start using it, you'll realize why it's fast, fluid, and stable. But what really sets it apart is its high level of customization features. It's very heavy on themes, and they tend to embody a slightly more playful art style, which may not be suitable for those looking for a purely minimalist industrial look.

**SAP Launcher**

Next up is SAP Launcher, a launcher that prides itself on being efficient and clutter-free. The key is really in the name, as soon as possible and this is what I'd call a very efficient launcher. You can get to just about every setting tweak feature or piece of information increase wipes or less and on top of that it's clutter free. Swiping from screen to screen and you'll see a minimalist card which takes up the whole display, which could be a to-do list, a calendar, synced orders, emails, your contacts, or even a weather widget.

**Eevee Launcher**

Our next contender is Eevee Launcher, a relatively new launcher that's quickly gained popularity for its fluidity and snappiness. The real selling point of this launcher is its performance, with all the animations being slick and beautiful. It'll also fit pretty well with a Material Design aesthetic, making it suitable for those looking to create a cohesive look.

**Lens Launcher**

Our next contender is Lens Launcher, a very interesting concept that feels a little bit half-baked but still great on the innovation front. Every single application is set out in a giant grid, and then you simply hold your finger over and let go when you're holding on top of an app to open it. This may sound limited, but it's actually a novel way of doing things that lets you get to what you want faster than other launchers.

**Nano Launcher**

Our next contender is Nano Launcher, a launcher that prides itself on being clean and light. The real emphasis here is being more minimalistic, with everything about it feeling light and airy. It automatically sorts your applications and removes the label to give it a cleaner look. However, it's slightly let down by the little bit of advertisement that's present.

**Total Launcher**

Finally, we have Total Launcher, which screams mouse customization from its very name. It offers an ultimate level of customization options that other launchers can't match, but it does require a time investment when you first boot it up. When you dive into the settings, you'll find that you can change everything from the way each icon appears to the number of centimeters away from the edge that you want your widget to start.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enso guys I did a video like this last year and you guys seemed to really enjoy it and find it really useful so welcome to my top ten launches of 2017 without further ado let's get started so number one is os launcher kind of a new guy on the scene and what's so interesting about this and what makes it especially relevant in today's age of increasingly sized smartphones is that it's perfectly useful with one hand no matter the size screen on your smart bear even if it's six inches everything can be done with one hand it makes a lot of sense rated position things everything is one swipe away it's convenient fast and quite refreshing so then we have smart launcher 3 one of the more optimized ecosystems available it's a low resource requirement so it

quite have the flexibility of launches like total launcher which I'll get onto a bit but just the fact that it works with everything you can pretty much create the look you want to you can also spend quite a lot of time in this they're tweaking everything from the page transitions to the way the apps open so rolling in next we've got Zen UI one of the highest-rated launchers on the entire Play

weather widget and also swiping from the far left or the far right brings up quick settings and an app drawer so then we have Eevee launcher and this guy hasn't been around too long but it's gotten
