This morning, I went looking in the Play Store for a sunrise/sunset app that would allow me to track the additional minute or so that we get each day. Yes, I am that desperate. I found a really nice one, and it was not ad-supported free, but actually free. I made a donation; the $5 that I would have paid for the app itself, and the $5 I would have paid for the widgets. It’s a really good app, and it didn’t nag for Play Store ratings, or FB likes, or Twitter shares, or anything…it just gave me a pretty, functional display of sunrise and sunset times, and also twilight, and moon rise. Anyway, it looked so nice that I decided I didn’t want the bright butterfly wallpaper anymore, and once I changed that, I didn’t like the coloured icons, so I got Glasklart (used that on my phone for ages). Well, Glasklart doesn’t work with the vanilla launcher, and I’ve used Nova on my phone forever, too. I decided to pay the $4.99 for Nova Prime; I’ve got it on two devices, and it’s really a very good launcher. I tried buying it from my tablet, but didn’t notice my old Visa was set as my default, so it declined (it ought to…the card hasn’t been valid for a while now). It also locked me out of purchasing for 30 minutes, which pissed me off, but I had to plant spring beauty anyway, so meh. I tried again, after logging into my Google account on my computer and changing my default payment method. Nope…still “high risk” (whatever the hell that means). I got onto my phone, and was able to purchase Nova Prime on that, then cleared the settings in the Play Store on my tablet, and was able to download it there. FINALLY. Jesus Christ, Google…let me spend my money if I want! Anyway, my tablet has Nova now, with vertical app drawer scrolling, and Glasklart icons, and LunaSolCal, which is kind of a stupid name for a really nice app, but whatever. I like the tablet a lot, and now it looks nice.
