I had premium up until a year ago, but I can't recommend it anymore after their purchase.
Choose open source, people.
Well, shit. I just bought it the other day and started with it. Had nfi.
FYI, you can download a version from before the acquisition. I'm running the 7.0.25 release and restricting network access on both the base app and the premium license. Not sure if it's foolproof, but hopefully I find a launcher that does app drawer tabs at least as well.
Can you give any more detail on this? I really like Nova and was really sad when it was purchased. I've tried a couple different launchers, but I don't like any of them as much as I liked nova. How did you get the old app? Just off some APK website? And then just install the license from Playstore? Or is there someway to download old versions from the play store? How are you restricting it's internet access? Would live to try this and get back my Nova launcher .
Yeah, I just installed the apk from an older release off apkmirror and installed Pro from the play store. I also disabled auto-update in the play store for both. You should look up if your OS can disable network connectivity on an app to app basis, the steps are different on each OS but it's usually buried somewhere in the settings. If your OS is unable to do so, I would use Netguard to prevent applications from using the internet.
Edit: Like someone already mentioned, the apk for each release is also available in the Nova launcher discord server.
Oh, thanks for letting me know. I'll downgrade again, I doubt there's much of a feature difference between those releases anyways.
