Reviewing the best Android launchers of 2024, including my top ten favourites available for free or a small premium fee. From long-standing classics with deep customisation like Nova Prime and Total, to fresh Android launchers like Yasan and minimalist setups like Niagara. These are the best options available on the Play Store as we hit 2025.

Nova v7 is one of the biggest and greatest launchers around, offering impressive customisation and personalisation. You can setup your smartphone UI exactly how you like, from the desktops and apps tray to the icons and notifications. Lawnchair Launcher will hopefully be fully back soon too, although you can download the early access version of 14 to your Android phone right now.

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. However, it's also proper bloody expensive, at £60 for a lifetime unlock. Android is unrecognisable with any of those on board, great for keeping yourself focused. But if you really want a makeover, check out the excellent (and 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? Let us know below!
