Tired of your TouchWiz UI on your Android smartphone.... Time to move on.....

Go launcher is a very powerful and feature rich UI that can transform your smartphone to a whole new experience...

Here is a quick check of the features and settings available on GO Launcher.....

Also our admin wanted to see the snaps of this app, hence here it is for him and everyone....

First lets see the settings available in the App....


..

..

..

..

..



This is the most important feature of this UI.... It offers a wide range of animations for the home screen and the menu screen transitions....

..


Apart from its on settings this app also gives a page where we can edit few important settings of our smartphone like turning on/off wifi, data, bluetooth etc....

.

Not just the UI, this app provides us GO Market, a store where we can download tons of plugins, themes, widgets for this UI....

.


We can have any number of Home Screen pages, but i like to keep it simple rather than clumsy hence three screens is more than enough. The middle one will be the home screen and frequently used apps on the right page while the left page is dedicated for news feeds...


..

..


Long press on any page on the home screen to add more widgets/apps... Pressing the left touch button also provides the same feature...

..

..



Finally some pros and cons.....
Pros:
1. Exciting and awesome animations
2. Smooth transitions.
3. Built in widgets and plugins.
4. Whole new icons replacing the default ones.
5. In-App GO Market offering tons of themes, plugins and widgets.
6. Ability to resize any widget/icon, which is not possible in the TouchWiz UI.
7. Rename any icon to our own custom name.
8. Open any app using Gestures. The gestures can also be customized.

Cons:
1. Although its free, few features are locked and needs a license to unlock them.
2. It uses a good amount of RAM, so devices with less RAM might struggle to handle it.
 
Just now I received an update for this app... Updated to v4 now...

One more feature I forgot to mention is, now you can swipe down anywhere on the screen to open the notification bar....
