I'm not knowledgeable on how launchers work but why is this needed to communicate to a network service?
"App uses a third party service for currency exchange rates" (source: f-droid app or the metadata repo)
Nothing to do with it being a launcher
Thanks, but my question is why and/or if it is common for a launcher to need that (also I didn't know there was more details to it on F-Droid repo, thanks for sharing the metadata link)
