    You want to use one of the much more recent nightly or beta builds.

      Can you remove the search bar at the bottom of the home screen?

        Yeah, that’s what I do. It’s fully customizable.

  I ducked off the Nova train with their fishy new owners a few months ago. My one complaint about Lawnchair is that the search function is slower and less effective, otherwise it’s great!

  If anyone is looking to try something new - I really enjoyed Waterfall after dropping Nova.

    Seconded. Looks good and I’ve found browsing by letter is way faster than the traditional folders (although you can still use folders with premium). I bought the upgrade after a few months.

  I picked up Lawnchair when I de-googled my phone a bit more than a year ago. There were a couple launchers I considered, but honestly the name is what sold me. And I haven’t missed Nova since.

  Made the switch last year. Have had no issues,especially now that you can do folders.
