One of the main reasons that people pick Android over iPhone is that the UI on Android is easily customizable.
There are plethora of Home Screen replacements which also come in the form of launchers and change your whole outlook towards the daily tasks.
Although, there are bigger names in the launchers for Android segment, one new entrant which deserves a mention is Go Launcher.
A free application for Android 2.1 Eclair owners and above, this launcher has everything you would expect from your mainstream user interface.
The best part about Go Launcher is the freedom and productivity it brings in organising your applications. You can uninstall an app directly from the drawer by a single tap.
On your default Android Menu screen, you scroll vertically to bring up other applications, but with this launcher you scroll iPhone style, i.e horizontally.
Also, the Menu is not just a plain simple category of apps lined up, it features an option of viewing your recently opened apps in the drawer itself.
To offer more to the already stable UI, there is also a built-in task manager inside the app drawer. This particular feature comes in pretty handy, if you ask me.
If you have used the folder feature in iPhone iOS 4, you would be familiar with the method of dropping one icon on the other to create a folder.
Creating folders in Go Launcher works the same way. Press, hold and drag an application icon on to any other application icon to club them into a single folder.
What’s more?
Apart from other customizable features, you can add up to 30 home screens. Previewing them is easy, squeeze the screen with your two fingers and there you go.
This application is a must try for your Android device and since it doesn’t cost anything, there is all the more reason that you should go ahead, download it and give it a try. You can download it from Android market on your device or from AppBrain.
