Pros
Pro Time and location-aware launcher
For each period of the day Aviate provides different apps and information by learning from the users behavior (similar to Google Now). This can come in handy as the apps one would use in the office will most likely be different from the ones they use at home.
Pro Notification badges (unread count) for select apps
Aviate supports notification badges for:
- Unread emails via the Gmail app
- Missed calls via your favorite Phone app
- Unread text messages from your default SMS app
- Apps with notification badges on the default Samsung launcher
This allows the user to easily see what apps have what amount of notifications.
