Inspire Launcher 16.3.0
Inspire Launcher is one of such apps, as it comes with many themes and a lightweight interface making it easy to navigate inside the app. But the launcher lacks animation or any sort of visual effects that would make it stand out from the crowd.
Sleek and lightweight interface with some features
The UI is really easy-to-use with all features at hand. It even comes with a tutorial showing new users how to navigate inside the app and use all its features. The design isn't spectacular but it comes in warm colors, making the launcher suitable for all sort of users.
Even the settings menu is colorful with shortcuts to plenty of themes and wallpapers that you must download from Google Play Store. The app also comes with a list of add-ons that you may download onto your device.
Customize the app to your liking
It also lets you customize the app in any way that you wish, not just by applying themes. You can also assign functions to gestures or adjust the number of icons that are displayed on the home screen.
The launcher doesn't import settings from your previous app, so you'll have to create folders and place shortcuts to apps all by yourself. Still, you have the option of choosing the dock background and adjusting the number of icons. There are few features for the app drawer, it only lets you sort apps by a few filters and you can't arrange them into folders.
The Genius features
On the home screen, slide your finger to the right to fain access to the genius center. It's a page filled with apps from the widget, mainly for the time and date, weather conditions and temperatures, system toggles and the calendar.
You can enable WiFi, mobile data or bluetooth and it even lets you check upcoming events noted in your calendar. The page is inspired from iOS finder search and Google Now Launcher page.
The app isn't completely free of charge, while it doesn't have any ads it does come with in-app purchases. Buy the premium version for 3.5$ and unlock various features as well.

Bottom Line
Design / UI8
The interface is nice and lightweight, with plenty of themes to choose from but the app fails to stand out from the crowd. |
Function8
It works just fine although it could use some more unique features and tools. Still, it's more complex than some of the other launchers that we've tested. |
Security7
It needs many permissions from your phone, some aren't connected to its features but it shouldn't pose any privacy issues. |
Battery9
Consumption isn't high, the app definitely won't impact your resources. |
Price9
The premium version costs 3.5$ and may unlock lots of neat features. |
Compatibility7
It should work on devices running Android version 4.1 or later, making it inaccessible to some users. |
A nice launcher but it could use some more features.
