Absolutely superb. At first sight, it looked a bit plain and spartan: just lists. But the more you get familiar with it, and the more you discover how customisable it is, the more you appreciate the design philosophy. No more wondering which garish icon your apps or app groups are hiding behind, or on which home screen. Just slide your thumb up and down the side of the screen to find apps easily in a full A to Z listing — which can itself have groups and icons applied, for differentiation.

I really wanted to enjoy this app as I've seen it's plastered via ads all over. It looked good, but lacking such a simple setting, changing the background..... It's locked behind a paywall. Disgusting. You get the choice of 3 free themes. You can't change the background and very limited other changes, You've all got 3 very obnoxiously bright "themes" which are no good. if you want a dark mode, not even be able to pick a solid colour as a background you need to pay YEARLY!! Greedy Devs.

Thanks for taking the time to write this up, Kevin, and sorry the free version didn't cover what you were after. Pro is our only source of income and it's what keeps every version ad-free and free of data selling. Our reasoning is here: https://help.niagaralauncher.app/article/104-price-of-niagara-pro

first of all I want to say I really like the idea and the visuals are great. but that is annoyingly overshadowed by some glaring bugs that take away any gained productivity this app wants to add. the main one that effected me was the inability to look at all my open apps when the launcher was active. I can click the button on my bottom bar but nothing happens. if I restart my phone I can use it for a short time but then fails once again. i did subscribe but this is leaving my remorseful

Hi Ethan, thanks for your rating and feedback. We’re sorry about this. Android’s recent-apps screen is controlled by the operating system rather than Niagara, but it still shouldn’t repeatedly stop responding. Please contact support@niagaralauncher.com so we can investigate. -David
