Personally paid for Niagara launcher as I find that to be the far superior launcher to any other I’ve tried. My second one is Symfonium, the most feature rich and well developed audio player.
What are yours?
Heads up: Nova launcher got sold out to a shady company - Branch Analytics.

Any experiences?
Thanks for the warning, I didn’t know about that. That’s disappointing news.
Are there any good free software alternatives?
What are these “paid” android apps you speak of?
Used to be the case for me too. But recently discovered that paid apps generally is much better polished, feature rich and ad+tracking free. That at least for me makes it more interesting paying for apps.

Nova launcher. I have yet to find a launcher that surpasses Nova.

Have you recently checked out Lawnchair? They had a few big updates, and it massively improved. Even if you aren’t satisfied by the experience right now, I’d recommend keeping an eye out for the project. They make lots of progress and big improvements.
