Niagara Launcher is arguably the best launcher for Android. That is certainly the case for me, as its different style works extremely well once you get used to it. A big part of that are also constant updates that make the app better and better. Well, a new update has just been announced, and Niagara Launcher is getting a couple of new, major features as part of it.
Niagara Launcher gets a new update, and a couple of major features as part of it
This update is referred to as the ‘Summer Update’. The changes were announced in both written and video formats, by the way. This update does include several major additions to the app.
Let’s start with the biggest one, an upgraded search feature. You can now search, message, and call contacts directly from the home screen. The app’s search will also allow you to quickly browse the web, and the calculator is integrated into that search offering too. You can use a calculator without actually opening the app.
One thing to note is that the built-in calculator and web suggestions are free, but the contact search is a Niagara Pro feature.
A new invite program is included, in addition to the major search additions
In addition to that, Niagara Launcher now also has a new invite program. You can invite your friends to download Niagara Launcher, and if they do, they’ll get 50 days of free trial for Niagara Pro. For every friend that does that, you’ll get 50 days of free Niagara Pro use too.
Niagara Launcher is great without the ‘Pro’ version, but there are some features in the ‘Pro’ version that are simply worth the jump, as this launcher has a ton of useful features to offer.
A number of tweaks, fixes, and improvements have been pushed out too
A number of tweaks, fixes, and improvements have been rolled out to the app too. The launcher now supports work-profile calendar events. On top of that, you can use Anycons icons across more places. In other words, more home screen elements now use Anycons.
A ‘help and feedback’ section has been integrated too. Group clocks settings are at your disposal now, while the company also added a new ripple animation when the Niagara Coin lands.
In regards to fixes, the screen being black for a bit after returning home issue has been fixed. The accidental home button press detection has been fixed too. Several other fixes have been issued, you can read more about that in the full announcement.
This update is already available via the beta channel, but it’s also rolling out to everyone as we speak… gradually.
