After a long wait now Google has finally launched the App “Google Now Launcher”. This app will be Available on Play Store from Wednesday on 26th February 2014. In the beginning the Application was revealed for “Nexus 5” last year. There was a promise that the Launcher will be available for the other devices also.
Really it was just an App that was built in Android platform. This App connects the Google Search to the operating system. Integrating the package will add the Google Now Launcher. It supports most of the features like, the system bars will be turned into transparent and also creates the Google now interface in the Device.
The Launcher has both the advantages and disadvantages because of the larger icons which appear on the Home screen. Even users may like or dislike this feature because home screen can be replaced with Google now Launcher and will no longer be used.
It gives an explanation that if a user has application on two screens of home then those two can be used along with Google Now Launcher. But if there are any extra screens on the home then they will be left remain.
Somehow there are some benefits available in this Launcher. For example a swipe on right side will bring the Google Now Launcher home screen and also displays the Weather, News, and whatever the things you have added.
And one cool thing is that you can just use the mobile by not even by touching but just saying “OK GOOGLE”. This leads to the voice search which will start.
