Nova launcher

[Crunken]

so i just got nova launcher prime so i can get access to all the features on my samsung galaxy s8, but for the notification badge to apear on app icons it needs access to notifications, i was wondering if it is safe to let it have access?
it says it can read all incoming text messages which seems kinda sketchy but it is a legit company so don't know.

Anyone have any experience with this?

It's fine. Nova launcher is one of the most well known and trusted launchers and it needs a pretty low level access so it can display notifications and such within the launcher. 

 

I've been using it on multiple devices for the past year or so, no issues.

It's trusted enough that Razer is using it as the launcher for the Razer Phone and a few Chinese brands as well use it.

It's perfectly fine, I've used it on every device I've had for the past several years, and will continue to do so.

Haha, that doesn't say much
