Action Launcher allows you to import from your existing layout from other launchers such as Apex, Nova, Google Now Launcher, HTC Sense, Samsung/Galaxy One UI/TouchWiz and the stock Android launcher, so you'll instantly feel right at home.

Action Launcher may request access to the Accessibility Service API for specific gesture functionality such as turning off the screen or opening the notification panel. Enabling access is optional, disabled by default, can be revoked at any time, and neither collects nor shares any data.

Flickering. I tried this launcher out of fear that I would be forced to switch from my beloved Nova launcher. It's not terrible, but some widgets are completely unusable. On the screen to select a widget and drag it onto the home screen, there is a flicker that occurs regularly, about every 2 seconds. It makes it impossible to use some widgets. This alone is enough to not use the launcher, but it also just feels clunkier, and slightly more awkward. Not to mention the constant pro pop-ups.

I am of the opinion that the Google Discover Feed should be deleted as it doesn't always properly work. The navigation gestures aren't perfect and seem to conflict with the default launcher on Google Pixel. This is still the only launcher I use that gives me the functionality I need. I've been using this since 2019 despite the issues because it's so clean and better than the default Pixel launcher that comes with the Pixel phone.

From 5 stars to 3.5 - I loved this launcher years ago. I got the premium version and love my setup with covers and folders. At some point though my backed up settings got messed up and many things would change to "name_not_found" and I couldn't find a way to fix it other than starting from scratch. Now for the past year my home screen freezes and I have to fight to get to "restart app" and then the issue is resolved... but I'm ready to switch. Happens 1 to 10 times a day.
