Sad to read, but not at all surprising. I remember how much damage control Kevin was doing back when the sale to Branch happened.

I hope he has learned something about trusting the word and contracts from entities like Branch from the whole thing.

I use Total Launcher - it has up and down swipe gestures but also left and right. It's a bit of a learning curve, much less intuitive than Nova was at its peak, but very customisable.

    I tried total launcher. Even bought a license. It didn't have the app icon swipe. For example if I swipe up on the phone app icon it launches the contacts app. Swipe up on the messages app icon to launch Signal. Great way to easily access a bunch of related apps without cluttering the home screen.

    Agreed, that's exactly what I do too - I use icon swipe all the time though, so I'm confused why you don't have it.

    Admittedly, I swipe folder icons rather than individual apps, but it definitely works, here's a quick video (link lives for 2 days): https://streamable.com/liybvg

    EDIT - looking again, I can't set swipes on individual app icons either, just the folder icons. Weird, never noticed that before!
