Review- Aviate Launcher for Android

Launcher apps are one of the best ways to customize your Android phone and there are many free ones like Go Launcher, Nova Launcher, Apex Launcher etc. We have also covered some of the best launcher apps available for Android.

While these launchers provide lots of features and options to customize, they are also heavy on resources, so if you have a low end Android device, then the performance might not be the best.

Currently Aviate Launcher is in closed beta, so you need to get an invite code to test it. Once you install the launcher, you can see the three home screen it brings to your phone.
