Google Now Launcher Arrives on Google Play for Nexus and GPE Devices

 

Remember when the launcher on the Nexus 5 turned into the Google Now Launcher? We told you at the time that its appearance on the Play store as an app for everyone was likely imminent as it included a way to import settings from your old launcher. Guess what? It arrived today, though it?s not yet for everyone.

 

The app is indeed just like the launcher that exclusively launched with the Nexus 5 in that it makes Google Now only a swipe away. If turned on, a simple swipe from the left will bring over Google Now, so that you can keep track of your life.

 

At this time, the listing claims that it is only available for Nexus or Google Play Edition devices running Android 4.4.

Good, hopefully this rolls out to all 4.4+ devices. It's nice to have Google Now as part of the home screen.

Installed this on my Nexus 7, finally feels as good as my Nexus 5. Nice to see "Ok Google" also working

Icons are HUGE, widgets doesn't adjust to screen width and "Ok Google" doesn't work in Spanish... I'd love to use it because otherwise it looks nice, but I think I won't yet  :/
