The Google Now launcher ranks 10th in our list of coolest Android apps of 2016. It is ideal for those that want a cleaner version of Android. Each Android manufacturer has taken to make some kind of personalization to Android, some kind of skin that will set them apart from the many other companies producing similar smartphones.
In this manner, you’re getting your phone to look pretty much like Google intended it to when designing Android in the first place – clean and sharp. Plus, you can get to the Google Now feature with just a finger swipe, quick access to search from every Home screen. “OK Google” also works for voice search, texting and asking for directions to the best pizza place.
