I previously used Nova and finally moved to the open source side with Kvaesitso. I didn’t like using a search focused launcher at first, but I decided to try and use it for a few months to get used to it. What I’ve found is that:

• I barely ever scroll down into the widgets menu and so I don’t make use to widgets as much as I’d like to
• Even after carefully setting up the search settings, I find it unintuitive and prefer to use specific apps for specific tasks
• I like having apps sorted by tags, but the tiny moving pill shape icons aren’t as nice as if I had folders on my desktop

The biggest problem now is that Kvaesitso is draining my battery for some reason. Battery usage says that it used 27% of my battery today.

I think I gave it a fair shot, and I’d like to try something new.
