I paid for Nova years ago, and have been happily using it ever since. For me, it’s set up in a really minimalist way that fits how I like to use my phone. I've never had any need to switch away from it because it works for my needs. Is there any reason I should consider switching away from it :?

When the next version of Android breaks support for it...

My phone still work's perfectly fine, so I plan to keep using it for as long as I can & it won't be getting any android os updates any time soon, so I think I'll be fine. When my phone eventually does give up the ghost, I’ll deal with it then, but until that point, nova should keep working just fine for me....
