    I have been a Niagra user since early this year, and I love how minimalistic and organized it is. I do not like a lot of widgets on my homescreen, and I only need the ones that I use frequently, so this is the best launcher for me. I tried going back to Nova, but nah. I am so used to this simple launcher now.

    It's now April 2022, almost a year after this vid was released. Full disclosure, I'm a die -hard Niagara fan. Since this video, Niagara has made even more advances in folders, streamlined customization features, implemented Android 12 style theming, widget implementation, and the list goes on. The developers are very engaged with the user community and are constantly fine tuning the launcher and working on new features, while at the same time keeping the launcher true to it's minimalist roots. I recently tried to go back to a more typical "Android style" launcher (I think it was Lawn chair), but setting it up from scratch just took too damn long. Niagara is, hands down, the easiest launcher to set up I have ever used. Thanks for the video!

    I started using Niagara Pro Lifetime in Decemeber 2022. Two years have passed and I'm still using it because of its minimalistic feels. It now supports multiple widgets, folder systems, icon change for each app or set of apps, app name change, and others. I was a person of "customization" and probably would love Nova by a younger version of me. But as I get older, I prefer Niagara even more.

    Niagara still cannot backup and restore settings. They used to make them work thru Google sync or something. But that service blocked backups over 25Gb which Niagara goes over. And their their space for notification is limited which kinda sucks as I don't like their stacking method they're using at the moment.

    I don't prefer nova because it's not for those people who tend to mess up their home screens with kwgt and klwp, it's quite a hassle for a new user.
    I purchased Niagara pro , and it's worth every penny here in India but in other countries like USA, it's expensive yes.

    I have always admired Niagara launcher but never got down to use it at a daily basis but this time I am down to use it. Been using it from a few days and yeah no multiple widgets suck and by the way the weather doesn't work with me for some reason.

    They're both good its just depends on you where your comfortable or if the launcher suit your custom setup
