The background is generated by TerraTime, which also provides the neat little clock in the upper right corner. The daylight and cloud cover are accurate to near real-time. eWeather provides the radar map and the hourly weather widgets. I can see most of what I want to know about the weather at a glance.

I've been using Nova as my launcher for a very long time. Half of the icons are folders containing related apps. The phone and text buttons on the bottom open nested folders containing one-button dial and text icons for my most frequent contacts. Almost every icon also has a secondary swipe-up function, which gives me direct access to everything I regularly use.from just one screen. I have another screen that shows my work and personal calendars side-by-side and that's all I need.

I really like that eWeather radar widget. I was shocked to learn that it's just for the northeast USA. Cold comfort for those of us living in the Hotel California... .

I don't think that is an actual limitation. I live in the midwest and it works fine here. I have also used it while traveling in Texas and California without any problems.

If it makes any difference, I do also have the eRadar app, but the widget you see is part of eWeather.
