Branch Metrics sucks. They fired almost of all people working for Nova.

Meh. Nova is the best launcher in my opinion but I've already been version locked to the last release before this company bought it. I've basically given up in anyone else replicating the features I want. So I'll be using this version of Nova until Google finally breaks it.

Same! I refuse to update it and got a little annoyed at a post I saw where the dev (at least I think it was him) said "hey it's 1 year later and the world hasn't exploded". Found that a little annoying.

Let's hope he gets control of the app back and can do nova again, without this shit baked in.

Edit: guess I should have RTFA first. Gross

What version are you on? I'm on 7.0.58.

7.0.57. I've had no android issues with this version. I don't feel like I'm missing any features by refusing to update.
