For those who don't know, Nova got sold to an analytics company a while back. It's a spy app now.
- I remembered that I bought the launcher at 0.99 USD but not when. I checked my emails and it was 8 years ago. I think the last time I used Nova launcher was around 6 years ago.
  
  It's unfortunate that they got sold to an analytics company. It was an good launcher
- There's never good news. Guess I gotta try and find a new launcher that isn't ass. Update: did some googling of the time line and my Nova launcher hasn't been updated since Dec of 21 ,before the acquisition, so it should be good.
- I was just thinking "it's refreshing that you only have to pay for it once, instead of it being a live service." I guess there's always a catch.
- Whats an alternative then?
  
  I like action launcher. I've tried Lawnchair 2 but it's still in beta after like 7 years. Honestly haven't found any launchers that are still actively updated that aren't shitty. The others seem to be either lacking features, customization or are overly simplistic.
  
  Unfortunately nothing much. I tried Lawnchair, ADW (on a whim, hasn't been updated in almost a decade), and action launcher. Went with AIO again lol.
  
  I hear LightningLauncher got open sourced! Pierre isn't working on it anymore though; there's a fork being worked on here.
