Nova was the best till the ownership changed hands.
Lawnchair & MS launcher been pretty good.
Has your Nova changed or do you just not like a big company came and bought it?
'do you just not like a big company came and bought it'
People who don't know/care abt data harvesting dropping ignorant statements... Yep, reddit isn't the only one hosting such folks ๐
Want to elaborate on your answer instead of being snarky? It was a genuine question if your user experience changed or if it was a behind the scene thing you don't agree with? It's probably obvious I just use the app and don't look into everything behind the scenes on it.
Reddit isn't the only one hosting such folks who think they're superior to others.
You should revisit the words and the tone of your response. If its a genuine question, it definitely is lacking in presentation.
Anyways. If you indeed are looking for an answer, Nova has been acquired by a company that generates revenue via harvesting the user data. And ever since apple brought in privacy rule changes, Branch's scope on iDevices has gone for a toss, which meant that the focus on android increased more. iirc, it was after or around that time that Nova got took over.
