Pros
Pro Easy to use, card-based interface
The home screen is organized into cards that can be scrolled vertically. Cards can contain widgets or collections of apps. Swiping from the left gives access to all apps and swiping from the right gives access to all widgets. These can then be added to the homescreen. It's possible to customize the order, color, transparency, size and what how much information or apps a card displays.
Pro Clean, material design inspired aesthetic
The look of the launcher is inspired by Android 5.0 Lollipop and material design. It follows material design color scheme, has a card-based layout and a Google Now-like, header with a stylized image of a city at the top of the homescreen that changes throughout the day.
Pro Google Now support
KK Launcher supports Google Now by swiping left in the launcher.
Pro Customisable
KK Launcher supports thousands of icon packs as well as popular themes from many different popular launchers. This allows the user to customize the look of the launcher to their preference.
Cons
Con Interface is not optimized for widgets that can be scrolled
Since the interface is based on vertical scrolling cards, widgets that can be scrolled (like a calendar widget) can get in the way of easily scrolling through the list of cards. It is possible to turn off widget scrolling in the settings to avoid these issues, but limits functionality of widgets.
Con Adware upon install
KK Launcher has multiple adware apps that are built into the launcher upon install, taking up precious memory as well as maybe doing other more nefarious things.
