THE best, smoothest, TRACKER FREE, launcher on Android. Plus, you will actually get a response from the dev if you have problems

After trying pretty much most of the open source options out there, I could not find the perfect one for me, saying that Lynx isn't perfect, it's missing some kind of app drawer organizer, I would prefer if similar to Kvæsitso it implemented app tagging and tag filtering on the app list. If not, folders or categories would be handy.

Packed with customizability, it's fairly priced in my opinion. As for performance, I have really no metrics to compare to so I can't comment, but it's smooth and not causing any lag or such.

It is similar to Nova, but for me it's the ability to put the front/home page icons to the side is the winner.
