It was announced today that Nova Launcher has been acquired by Instabridge, a Swedish company that “builds products that help people get online.” The announcement starts off rather positive. It confirms that Nova is not shutting down and that Instabridge wants to, “keep Nova... #Android #Apps

Does anyone know this company? I hope it’s Nova launchers saving grace.

I’ve been using Niagara Launcher, it’s a completely different style of launcher that I think fits more in line with how we hold and interact with smartphones. I don’t think I can ever go back to the traditional app icon grid layout style launcher.

Niagara is great. I need to buy a full license one of these days.

I tried it for a half day, and really struggled with how different it is. Any thoughts on that? I don’t always search for an app by name in Nova, often I go by the autopilot of where it lies on my home screen

Second on Niagara. Great integration and flow, I paid for the lifetime version. Moved back to regular android for now but it’s waiting in my app drawer for my inevitable return
