Still nothing bad for those of us who paid?

Still no alternative launcher that is 100% free (because if $4 15 years ago was too much… you’re not gonna pay now) that does what Nova users want?

So, I’m on an iPhone; my Android phone has a very specific use as a cosplay prop. (It’s also a functional smartphone and a backup for my music collection. I’m not dissing the platform. Also, Gboard on Android beats any keyboard on iOS, no contest.) I need big icons, custom icons with custom text, and I need a 3x3 icon grid with no dock. My Android phone is a NookPhone, like you get in Animal Crossing. Down to the case. If I were really smart I’d just make my own launcher, but I’m not. Still, my NookPhone is awesome. And I can’t use a half assed launcher.
