Hola Launcher, A Super Clean Launcher

Hola launcher has nice looks and is quite quick! It was nice to play around with something a little bit different, it's a nice change from stock and coming from the Google Now launcher, . There's a lot of features, but all are there for a purpose. It's not too overcrowded with features, keeping that touch of minimalism about it.
App Drawer
The Hola "Quick Search Mode"
This is the equivalent of the app drawer. Like Windows Phone, you have to swipe down and the apps are categorised in alphabetical order. Something that makes scrolling more productive is the alphabet on the right. Swiping through that is a quick way to navigate to an app that starts with a letter that is far away and would otherwise require a lot of scrolling. It's a really nice addition to have and I found myself using this more than once.
Another small thing that you might have noticed is the blurred backgrounds. This has a really nice clean effect and is really modern. Personally, I loved this and would go to the app drawer to find apps rather than my folders, to experience that nice background.
One of the things that you may have noticed using Android is the little dots on the bottom. These show you what page you are. There is a small animation where the dots connect and move across, as if they were liquid. This is a really small feature, but great nonetheless.

This app as cool as it was, I liked to get to the app drawer with the button with the three dots, rather than finding the homescreen with the 'all apps' icon or double tapping the background (opens app drawer). I also felt quite overwhelmed with all the little things that come with using the app and learning how to go past its quirks. For some, this app will be amazing. Personally, this is a good launcher that I will remember.

You can free download hola launcher on 9apps, there also some other popular apps provided by 9apps.
