For loyal Android users, the homescreen and launcher can get boring through time. If you want to have a change of scenery, then you better take a look at some Android apps free download, particularly custom launchers. 

We have handpicked four of the top launcher apps on Google's Play Store:

1. Launcher 8 Free

For Android-handset owners who want to take a break from the Android ecosystem, Launcher 8 free enables them to experience the Windows Phone launcher. While it does not entirely provide all the features, it offers users a glimpse of what the WP OS is like as it runs on their Android phone. 

2. ADW Launcher

With over 5 million downloads, ADW Launcher is another popular and highly-rated launcher app on the Play Store. It features a fast screen setup, gestures, folder management, app resizing, lots of themes and customization options. Unfortunately, the last update was way back in July last year and we don't know yet whatever plans the developer has for the app.

3. Nova Launcher

WIth an average user rating of 4.7, Nova Launcher is the top rated app for Android right now. It provides a minimalist type of design for its launcher designs and themes, which appeal to millions of Android users all over the globe. It allows icon and widget sizing, dock swipes, scroll effects, and gesture and swipe options. 

4. GO Launcher EX

This list would not be complete without GO Launcher EX. With more than 100 million downloads, this is currently the most downloaded launcher app for Android. It does not only offer free and premium themes from the app's developer, but third party developers as well. Aside from the usual themes, there are also 'super themes' which provide additional features and easter eggs which Android users surely love.
