Just got a new work phone: Galaxy S22. Wanted a pixel but it was out of stock in our internal allocation. Already tired of samsung's UI and interested in something new.

So what do you like? Bonus points if it works with android enterprise's profile mode dual app drawers.

Currently using and have used the Niagra launcher for years. To me, ease of use and getting to the apps I need quickly and efficiently is the most important thing about a launcher. I've tried many of the "minimalistic" launchers over time, and this is the only one that truly felt useful. I'd highly recommend it to people who just use their phone as an app launcher, as opposed to having a bunch of widgets on the homescreen or something.

Agree on Niagara. I've been a Nova Launcher user for many-many years. Tried to switch to other launchers with no success. Around year ago, when Nova was bought by Branch (if memory is right) I decided to force myself to use a different launcher. Tested several, but Niagara was best once you understand the simplicity of the design concept. Now I'm a very satisfied user of the PRO version.

Definitely wish I could get the pro version. But I still appreciate that it's usable as a non pro user.
