Go Launcher EX vs Blur - A Launcher Replacement

GO Launcher offers over 10,000 personalized themes and over 25 transition effects.

The launcher lets the user customize the desktop to their heart's content, giving the option to increase the desktop grid size to a maximum of 10 rows and columns, or disable the status bar, dock and icon labels. Users can also adjust the font and size of icons.

Infinite scrolling can be enabled to allow the user to cycle through their homescreens and app drawer pages without needing to change direction when they hit the last page.

Users can hide apps in the free or paid version in the app drawer.

GO Launcher EX allows the user to sort their apps by title, date of installation or frequency of use; create folders for apps; and hide unwanted apps.

Go Launcher EX is free to download and use, though there are in app purchases to unlock certain features and theming elements. There are also in app advertisements in the free version.

The GO Launcher Dev Team wants the users device to be customized with more than just a launcher. GO Weather, GO Locker (a lock screen replacement), and GO SMS Pro offer even more customization to the device. This is great those that are looking for a consistent design.

It is easy to sort apps into folders in the app drawer, on the desktop, and on the quick launch bar.

Allows developers to create Google Now-like pages and cards through their API.

Blur is free to download and use, though it does offer in app purchases that range from $0.99 - $99.99 per item.
