[Nova Launcher] bubba1601:
Perhaps my comments stirred up some passionate feeling or stirred up a hornet's nest.

Either way, I do agree with all the points being made, but even though I agree and respect the comments about app development, no one is getting to the point I originally made.

Let me clarify again for anyone not sure sure or confused about my points.

1. I DO NOT WANT ANYTHING (UPDATES) OR DO I FEEL ENTITLED TO ANYTHING.

Yes, I've purchased nova prime, and I'm glad I did.

I'm into home screen customisation and I can't do what I want to do without nova.

That being said I'm unhappy about the way nova is treating their users.

My original comment was another launcher had added features constantly requested by nova users both here, on Nova's G+ community, Nova's Reddit site and Twitter.

I don't care if anyone thinks those features are not necessary or stupid, the fact remains hundreds of people have requested them, and nova have replied they cannot add such as it is "not technically possible "

So I wanted know what lawn chair and others launchers do so easily that nova can't (or won't)

2. I personally do not like the way nova interacts with its users.

(Paying or not)

I've found nova staff to be rude, blunt, dismissive and agressive.

G+ posts are ridiculed and removed without reason.

Users are told off for asking questions in a rude and patronising way.

Users wanting to offer constructive criticism are subjected to angry answers or banned from using Nova's G+ community.

Users not happy about pace of development are told to go away and make their own launcher.

I agree to an extent that some users feel entitled to more and more, but that wasn't the reason for my comments.

I personally don't want more as nova is great for me just how it is in its current form, but I don't feel comfortable being spoken to that way by someone representing a company I've made a purchase from.

If a shop keeper or car salesman spoke to me like that I would take my custom elsewhere, and that's my biggest issue with nova.

I really don't want to continue using nova as their support staff removed my question about issues I had with nova saying it was down to my device running a custom ROM or updating to a newer version of Android, but the fact remained I reported an issue with nova that they totally dismissed.

I find Nova's development team are liars and aggressive thugs who treat their users with utter contempt.

They tell every one they won't say what's coming in the future, then Cliff Wade tells everyone folders are having a HUGE update.

Naturally everyone goes bonkers about that comment, then they remove anyone's questions about that update! WTF!

I cannot use an app that's designed and represented by such people with double standards.

3. I notice a few people say Kevin is a ****.

Well I don't know the guy or ever see any of his posts here but look anywhere else on here or G+ or Reddit and I see app developers interacting with their users.

Several of the newer launcher developers do take to G+ to answer questions and explain features.

I think Kevin would be far more respected if he made more interaction with Nova's users but I don't think that will ever happen.

I'm just sad he's not made a small post to G+ or somewhere saying hi I'm busy developing be assured there will be an update soon and that small gesture would go a long way to stoping all the BS about nova being dead and lack of recent updates.

I'm sick of reading the same crap over and over again (please give me Google search bar in app draw) or (please include the at a glance widget in next update - even though at a glance is now included in the latest Google app betas)

Point I'm making is many people are asking for the same and they are popular requests.

I just wish nova would say look, we don't want to add them and become another pixel launcher clone, we have no plans to ever introduce those so please don't ask again.

That's so much better than saying it's not technically possible and making themselves look silly.

I have now as I said I was going to do and stopped using nova, but it's always going to have a special place with me.

I've just moved to something simpler, less dramatic which actually works fine on both my devices without throwing a tantrum or has silly graphical issues that nova claim are down to one of my devices updating to Android 8.0.....and the other running lineage 15.1.

Sad fact is I only have the issue in nova and no issues at all running the Android P pixel launcher or the rootless pixel launcher by Paphonb, so maybe someone can explain why nova cannot work on two devices nova claim is supposedly designed to work so well on (pure stock android or as close to pure stock android)

Kindest regards
