Jazz Up Your Android Phone! | Best Launchers (2025)
1,312Reviewing the best Android launchers and setups for 2025, from customisable classics like Nova to minimalist options like Niagara. Here's my favourite launchers for your Android phone, to download from Play Store.
Nova v7 is still one of the biggest and best launchers around, offering impressive personalisation. You can setup your smartphone UI exactly how you like, from the desktops and apps tray to the icons and notifications. Lawnchair Launcher is still in early access, version 14, but not as good IMO.
Yasan is one of the new-ish kids on the block, with a streamlined approach similar to Niagara and KISS. Minimalist Launcher is another great one to prevent distractions and keep you focused on what matters - although it ain't cheap! Your Android phone will be completely unrecognisable with any of those on board. But if you really want a full makeover, check out the excellent (alebit complicated) Total Launcher.
I still have a lot of love for some of the launchers from my earlier round-ups including Microsoft and Pear. But what are your own favourites, and which would you say is the best in 2025? Let us know below!
