From quick research, it certainly seems to be the preferred alternative. It’s been around for quite awhile and look to have a legit business model. I also found an open source app that looks decent.
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.
I’ve been using mlauncher forever and never even knew there were IAPs. One of the things I like about it is I don’t even know it’s there. I have no icons. Just a blank home screen. It’s beautiful.
Thanks for sharing. I’ll for sure be going through this and checking out the suggested sites. I imagine it will help me add more books to my pile of books to read that hopefully I’ll get to some day. I’m not even mad though. I love the challenge.
I’m not expecting much. I just wish it would work consistently. I don’t know how many times it’s just decided to crash or turn off or fail to wake. It’s never even been reliable as a simple watch like what you mention. At least not for me. But, it’s been fun to play with for a small fee.
FWIW, it says you can opt out of this in the settings. It’s sort of crappy you have to go digging to find this. There should be a disclaimer. Thanks for pointing it out.
Time to pull the old PineTime out from under the bed and throw it on the charger. Probably still won’t be usable, but always fun to try new firmware. Thanks for the heads up!
I use 2FAS because Aegis isn’t available for iOS. :) It’s more maintained than Tofu and is more feature rich. My main gripe is the backup format. It’s unnecessarily complicated. Not a deal breaker, but close.

It’s basically a FOSS rewrite of OLauncher. It gets regular updates.
