I was a Nova Launcher user for many many years, but then Microsoft Launcher came with basically the same features as Nove and a few new killer features, so I moved to it.

But today I woke my phone up and everything was gone. My screens, widgets, folders… And even if I wanted to set everything up again, I can’t because Microsoft Launcher won’t start.

So… yeah, fun times. Won’t be using Microsoft Launcher ever again, even if they fix it.

What are you guys using? And what killer features does you launcher of preference have that make you use it?

    I get what you say, but the main screen is the main screen. When I tap the home button, it goes to the main screen. On the Pixel Launcher it would take me to the leftmost screen.

    I guess I’m just used to using my phone like that, I’ve had mostly the same set-up for about a decade. I could get used to something else, but I use a ton of widgets all the time, so I like being able to move fast from the main screen to a certain set of widgets. That’s what I liked about the Microsoft Launcher, it had a scrollable screen where you could have any number of widgets on a single screen. I wish other launchers had that too.

      Ah, that’s the difference. This isn’t the case for me. When I hit the home button it goes to the last-used screen. There doesn’t seem to be the concept of “main screen” other than a boot up.
