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.

Action Launcher has been part of my Android experience for the better part of a decade now, and I don't see anyone coming close to providing the same convenience and speed for me. Covers in particular is a killer feature. The past month or so I've been experiencing some instability issues, where on unlock, the lower rows of icons are skewed upwards and the interface responds erratically to swipes. Force stop of the launcher resolves the issue, but it returns after a little while.

Mixed feelings I tried many launchers, and i like this one best. However, lately i have an issue, where seemingly random actions (like opening the camera) trigger the 'confirm purchase of pro version" screen overlay from google play. Given the scummy experience of other commenters here, it seems like they are on purpose trying to trick me into buying the pro version, hoping i would accidentally hit the confirm button when trying to take a photo.
