SUMMARY:
Bringing That Pixel Stock To The Masses, LawnChair Is Totally My Favorite Launcher Right Now! There Can’t Be A Better Alternative For Someone Looking To Get That Pixel 2 Launcher Feeling (Apart From The Bottom Search Bar).
Customization Is On Point With All The “Useful & Handy” Features Like “Swipe Down To See Notification Pannel” & Home Button To Launch App Drawer Are Easily Configurable And Quite Useful For Day-To-Day Use.
Performance, For The Most Part, Is Great But The App Does Have A Tendency To Crash Every Now & Then (Even Changing Wallpaper Can Cause It To Crash) However It Does Get Back On Rather Quickly And Because The App Is Still In Development I Won’t Blame The Developers.
All & All, A Great Launcher And Will Be My Daily Driver For The Foreseeable Future
The Good
Fully Stock With All The Pixel 2 Launcher Features (
A Whole Lot Customizable With Dark, Black & White Theme Built In.
Custom Icon Pack Support Along With Notification Dots
No Ads Whatsoever, Making The Experience That Much Better!
The Whole Launcher Can Configure It’s Color To Better Suite Your Wallpaper / Background
Swipe Down To Show Notification Panel & Home Button To Show App Drawer Comes In Handy A Lot!
The Bad
While Day-To-Day Use Is Mostly Stable. The App Does Have A Tendency To Crash Every Now & Then (It’s Still In Development So I Can’t Blame The Developer)
The App Requires A “LawnFeed” Plugin App To Enable The Google Now Page. The App Isn’t Available At Playstore So It’s Kinda A Pain To Side Load It To Enable Such A Useful Feature.
The App Has Every Pixel 2 Launcher Features Except That Bottom Search Bar. Instead, Lawnchair Goes For The Last Gen Pixel Launcher Search Bar Approach. (Just See The Screenshots To Get What I Mean)

LawnChair – Pixel Stock For All! [App Review]
Now, I Have Tried A Lot Of Different Home Launchers Ever Since My First Tablet (Galaxy Tab 2) From 2012 And I’ve Only Recently Started Writing Reviews On Them.
But Why I Write These Reviews Here And Not On Play Store?
Well, Because I like To Go A Little More Deep Into The Review Than Just Giving A Few Stars & A “Short Review”
Okay, I Think We Are Stemming From Our Topic A Little Bit. Back To LawnChair.
So, Lawnchair Is An OpenSource Project Created By Till Kottman, Better Known As The Github User Deletescape Alon With Other Contributors (paphonb, fonix232, divadsn, Rawi666, Josh Baldassare, & Lumiq Creative) To Make A Free & Open Source Home Launcher That Aims To Bring Pixel Launcher Features To Every Android Phone! And As You’ll See Later In The Review They Freaking Nailed That Goal!

Customization
Customization On Lawnchair Is Freaking Awesome! It Supports All The Stock Customization The Original Launcher It’s Based On (Launcher 3) And Slams In The New Pixel Launcher Features And Gives You The Ability To Customize Your Phone To Look Exactly Like A Pixel Phone!
No, Like Seriously, A Few Minutes Of Tinkering Can Get Your Phone To Look Like Exactly Like The Pixel 2 Phones With Is Kinda Awesome If You Think About It. Here, Look At Some Examples Of What My Lawnchair Homescreens Looks Like After Just A Few Minutes Of Tinkering!

Alternatively, If You Don’t Want Your Phone To Look Like The Pixel Phones Then You Can Install Custom Icon Packs + Custom Icon Shapes To Really Add Some Uniqueness To Your Phone!
And There Are Other Great Customization Options Too! For Example, You Can Set “Swipe Down” To Show Notification Panel And Home Button To Show App Drawer. I Know That These Options Aren’t Original And They Don’t Seem That Big. But While Using The Phone Day-To-Day These Little Things Adds Sooo Much To The Experience! Seriously,
Basically, Customization Is Spot On With Lawnchair. Really, Anything From Custom Icons To App Drawer Spring Effect This Thing Got You Covered.
Performance
Performance For Me On This Thing Is Kind Of A Mixed Bag. On One Hand, It Works Flawlessly For Day To Day Use & Never Really Stutters But There Are Time Where It’ll Crash Without Any Reason. (Stuff Like Changing Wallpapers, Applying Substratum Themes, Etc) The App Force Closes. Although, To It’s Credit, The App Does Start Backup Rather Quickly. To Clarify The App Is Still In Development So I Can’t Really Blame The Developers. But Then Again, I Can’t Really Just “Let This Slide” Without Telling Someone Who Might Wanna Try This Out.
Visual Appeal
Now, I Understand That Visual Appeal Of Anything Is Subjective And That Everyone’s Tastes Might Differ. (Something Beautiful To Me Might Look Like Crap To You) I Get It, But If You Like The “Stockie-ness” (Lol Is That Even A Word?) Of The Pixel Launchers. Then You’ll Most Likely Find Lawnchair At Home. Seriously, Apart From The Bottom Google Search Bar, Lawnchair Has All The Pixel 2 Launcher Features And Best Of All, It’s Open Source & Free! Making It Accessible AND Modifiable By Anyone.
No, It Doesn’t Have A “Theme Store” Or “Swipe Down To See News” Not Because It Can’t Rather Because It Doesn’t Need To. At It’s Core, Lawnchair Provides One Of The Best “Stock” Experience I Have Ever Felt From A “Third-Party” Launcher. And I Think That Tells A Lot.
