Nova Launcher 4.0 update brings more Material Design goodness
Nova Launcher, one of the best Android launchers for both smartphones and tablets, just got a pretty big update earlier today. Version 4.0 of the popular launcher comes with full Material Design support, and also includes a range of new features that allow for ultimate control over the user interface.
Nova Launcher 4.0 comes with more animations, a bunch of bundled wallpapers, as well as new icons, but the fun does not end here. With the updated version, users can change individual icon layouts by tweaking the size or the font of a particular icon in the home screen or the app drawer, perform a quick search by pulling down when in the application drawer, or even search for widgets.
Nova Launcher was already one of the best-looking Android launchers available in the Google Play store, and with the new update, it looks like this home screen replacement just got even better. The pricing remains the same as before. A feature-limited version of the launcher is available for free download, while the full version is priced at $4.
Here's the full changelog for Nova Launcher version 4.0:
