I'm surprised people are still using this. I haven't used Nova for almost a decade.
I've been quite happy with Niagara for the last few months.
+1 for Niagara, plus even though you don't have to, pro features can be purchased outside of Google Play.
+2 for offering a lifetime purchase option (though it is kinda pricey)
Nova has a life time buy too. Fat fucking lot of good that did.
Far as I'm concerned if it ain't a private company with no investors open source products and functions entirely offline. Even then I don't fucking trust em.
Companies and their promises are worth less than the horse shit up in my barn.
