Apex Launcher. Left Nova a while back and it offers basically the same features without the aggressive bullshit. And while the pro version is somewhat subscription based the lifetime price (7โฌ here) is absolutely reasonable. `
What do you mean by aggressive bullshit?
Mainly the stance towards customers that inquired about data hoarding after the sell out.
Well thats disappointing.
I actually prefer Apex too
What was aggressive about Nova?
Nova has been absolutely aggressive towards customers asking about data transfer after they sold out towards a company that is heavily into data hoarding.
How have they been aggressive? I keep hearing this but haven't been given any examples. When I look the issue up it says that Nova has said they won't force any data gathering and anything that gets added to the launcher will be optional.
See the topics above, there are more than enough examples.
I looked through every comment in this thread and didn't see a single example of them being aggressive. So if I'm missing something I don't suppose you could link those examples directly?
