Despite the privacy issues after the buyout, I'm still using Nova Launcher.
On the work phone I'm using the Microsoft one and it's surprisingly good too. It's not quite as customisable as Nova but it does a fair amount as well. I like the configurable leftmost screen, it's like a powered up widget viewer.
What happened to Nova? I didn't see anything
It was bought by an analytics company.
Oh damn. What do you use as a replacement?
damn. I'm still on nova, been using it since 2013-ish. when did the buyout happen?
I think it was last year. Or maybe 2021. COVID's made time perspective a bit wonky.
Been using the Microsoft launcher for years after leaving Nova and have to say I've been surprisingly pleased with it.
Two bits of info I wasn't aware of! Going to check out MS!
