Today, years after I paid for Nova Launcher, they put an unskippable overlay on my screen telling me to upgrade or continue, but with ads. I said continue and they put huge intrusive ads in my app tray.
I no longer have Nova Launcher.

Jahas. Pilasivat sitten Nova Launcherin mainoksilla. (mulla ei ole, vielä, mutta lapsi valitti).
Joutuu vaihtamaan. Pfffff.

@novalauncher is learning how popular ads are.
The reaction to their decision to add ads has been brutal in the Google Play Store.

I finally got off my lazy ass and deleted Nova Launcher off of my phone now that they added Facebook trackers to it.
I know I should've done it way sooner but I've used Nova for like a decade so it was hard to say goodbye.
I switched to Lawnchair and it's been pretty nice.
I miss being able to have my default screen be in the middle instead of all the way to the left, but I got Neo Feed working so now if I swipe to the left at least something is there.
@yvan I just swapped to https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.simplemobiletools.launcher&hl=en-US
Imports (and has a fair stab at replicating) Nova's setting backup, and very reasonably priced.
Not FOSS, but turn's out Nova's vaunted FOSS-on-shutdown promise wasn't worth anything either.
Just saw an #ad in my #novaLauncher app draw (for fucking *TickTock*) despite paying for Nova a few years ago and promised no ads (still says that on their site !).
So #simpleLauncher now have a new customer on an annual renewal for under a quid a month, helping them out with a recurring stream of cash, even if more expensive over >3 years.
What a stupid way to throw away any remaining good will.

Okay I find that a bit mean.
Both my mom and I use the #novalauncher on their phone. But use the paid #novalauncherprime and she used the free version. But now Nova started putting #videoadvertising with sound! into the App Drawer.
I just helped my mom together the paid version. With 4.09 € is really not that expensive.
It’s still the best launcher I used, although tbh, I didn’t used any other launcher like ever.
