Just an FYI for people who care about this sort of thing, Nova was purchased by a data analytics company about a year ago IIRC.

It seems like a lot of people aren't aware so I figured it's worth mentioning.

To find a link now, I'd have to do the same thing you would do, which is google "nova launcher sold data analytics" or something similar.

Been using this for many year!

I use nova launcher over stock andriod (pixel) and Samsung latest One UI.

Samsung One UI is getting a lot better from the past version, I can say I enjoy it now too but Im still on nova on my fold5.

Bought it for $0.10 few years ago. Never used any other launcher since then.

Used it on many phones including S21U, S22U, and now S23U.

What I like about it is the ability to dumb down the UI, limit what user interactions can do to the screens. This way, I am not annoyed by extra UI features by accidentally swiping somewhere or clicking. Keeping the features to a minimum needed, I don't annoy myself by accident invoking something.

Nova is NOT worth using since they were bought by a data mining company.

These alternatives have no ads/spyware as far as I know;

Both aren't running. Both are installed.

That's like saying you have Chrome and Firefox installed, shouldn't have both.

Yes you can block the branch.io server (you should realistically block it regardless, they have their hands in alot of products) but I still don't look at this product and think good deal anymore.

Thanks. I have NOVA from years ago, but don't us it currently. Nice to have some safe alternatives.

I've exclusively used Nova for many years, but it's been glitching on Android 13 for a very long time, and they've yet to fix it. Be aware.
Google locked out alternative launchers from having full functionality (without root) when they introduced/"fixed" gesture navigation in Android 11/12. That's just the way it is -- put up with the (minor, mostly visual) glitches or stick to stock (or root). It's not a Nova-specific issue.

Favorite launcher, been using pirated version for years and years. Since I don't sign into the genuine Google Play store (I use MicroG) I never paid for it and couldn't pay with that method. Well today I signed into Play via my Ereader just to pay for it and clear my conscious a little. 😇

It has the most customizations of any launcher. For close family like grandma, I can custom tailor it to their special needs, restrict/hide settings and apps they don't need and then lock the launcher layout so they don't accidenly mess everything up. NovaLauncher widgets have some pretty advanced functions. Definitely fiddle with them if you haven't.

Did you see an official confirmation of this? Or, are you guessing? If that were the case, it shouldn't be (semi)fixable through the method described in this thread: https://www.reddit.com/r/NovaLaun...reeze_bug/
