Action Launcher is a great option that mixes things up and changes the interface paradigm from what you'd expect in a "normal" launcher. It simply transforms your dull, boring old phone into something unique. There's no regular dock and app drawer, instead replacing it with a slide-in drawer to house your apps. You also get Shutters and Covers, which give you innovative ways to launch into folders and widgets with swipes — it's all about getting to your apps and content quicker.

The newest version, Action Launcher 3.5, takes things up to a new design that fits in with Android 5.0 Lollipop, and introduces a few new features as well. There's a free version of Action Launcher for everyone to try, with a pro upgrade costing just $4.99 — and after you figure out the time-saving features you'll want to unlock it.

It's fair to say that Action Launcher is one of our favorites as well as being one of the very best.
