Also bought Nova Launcher Prime, but they were apparently acquired in the last year so now Nova is spyware? Anyway, I switched over to Kvaesitso and couldn’t be happier.
nova prime + netguard to keep it off the internet has kept me using it. “search focused” launchers are not how I use my phone and nothing else has all the features nova does without being able to just dump the stupid home screen search bar.
Edit: gave it a try, but you have to remember the exact name of every app, and i dont care enough to remember if the name is ‘store’ or ‘market’ or ‘app store’ for example
Yeah, I’m with you on that. I tend to install a ton of interesting apps when I see them, and categorize them into groups (many apps fit multiple groups) so when I’m looking to do something in particular the apps that might fill the need are together to try it with. If those search launchers allowed for adding multiple tags to each app for categorizing and searching, then they’d probably work well enough for me to try.
Nova launcher prime
Not after they have been acquired by analytics company Branch

Nova was amazing but they’ve been bought out. I tried Niagra Launcher and after being frustrated with a new UI, I absolutely love it.
Interesting, i’ll have a look on it

Fair enough! Everyone has a different flavor palette. It also takes a week to get used to. After that one week, I never went back.
