I’ve been using Before Launcher and requested the feature a few years back. They said they wanted to support it eventually.

I’ve tried a handful of alternatives and they all seem to lack this capability.

It looks like this is functionally a paid app.

Where are you seeing in-app purchases? I can’t find this anywhere in the app, and it’s not mentioned on F-Droid either (normally there is a disclaimer if there are non-free features).

You have to pay to get more icons on your home screen, which is pretty ridiculous.

I can’t find this anywhere in the settings. Every single toggle can be turned on and the number of home apps can be increased from 5 up to 30. Are you sure that you’re looking at the right app?

I’m assuming the Play store version is what’s being referenced. It lists an IAP, but I can’t see what it is.

I guess so. If there is the option I would always get a FOSS app through F-Droid or directly through something like Obtanium for exactly this reason. Sometimes there are differences, and the Play Store version is always the inferior one.

Absolutely. I only use Obtainium. It’s the only way. :)

Hey! To clarify the maintainer appears to have split their own development. The Play Store is receiving updates and new features that F-Droid is not getting. Can’t say I’m a fan of this

I see that. Under MultiLauncher. One of the contributors acknowledges the two separate versions but doesn’t say anything about it. I didn’t dig too deep, but I’ll definitely be watching. Probably trying out CCLauncher as well given it’s close to identical.
