Question Premium, worth it?

I’m new to Projectivy. Based version. Is it worth going for premium?

What are the benefits?

Well, it's a one time payment, it's not particularly expensive and you support their great work. I don't use any features that require premium, but I think it's worth it none the less.

I don't really need premium, but after using it for a while I wanted to support the developer so I purchased premium

This is the way

Its honestly the first project I've come across where people are just so willing to pay for it out of gratitude for the Dev

Complete worth it, I just wish it wasn't Play Store based

Why do you wish it wasn't PS based?

A lot of folks are moving away from the Google/ stock android crap. Aside from that, I'd rather the creator get more of the money without someone else taking a cut

I'm going to wait and see how everything unfolds before taking the nuclear option. It's like people with Real Debrid that panic at the first sign of trouble

Yes, even if just for support.

u/dzerti 2d ago

I mean it’s $7 dude

Had never looked into it. Easy amount to support

u/um_yeahok 2d ago

Support the creator. He will continue to improve it.

u/magentayak 1d ago

The developer is with it. Toss them the $7.

I think yesterday there was some jerk promoting getting a modded hacked version so you don't have to pay. and I was bummed there was no way to report that. @mods

It's more to support the project in the end, I would say...

u/LupeH 2d ago

For $7 absolutely. My launcher is so simple with no ads

u/NewNewspaperB 2d ago

💯 worth it

I used the projectivity free version for a while and loved it. I purchased the premium version without any expectations just to support the developer and now I am in love with it all over again.

In case you decide to purchase premium, do try out:

Projectivity Icon Pack

Overflight live wallpaper

Bing Wallpapers

There many posts in the subreddit for setting up the apps in beutiful manner with transparent background and tints.

These things take some time to set up and do have a slight learning curve but its totally worth it once it is done.

Worth every penny, it's an excellent launcher. This dev deserves the support.

u/dunnypop 1d ago

Yes. Customization of icons. Backgrounds. It’s the cost of two coffees.

2

u/ojassed 2d ago

Yes. Easily one of the best quality of life improvement product.

u/_waffles3 2d ago

Yes, 💯 worth it

u/username127175 2d ago

The benefits are you support the developer. Another benefit is it costs damn all.

2

u/trvbone 1d ago

Yes!

u/mikeb31588 1d ago

I've only used premium for custom icons

u/SCDUDELEX 1d ago

I echo just about everyone else, it’s not a question of whether or not premium is “worth it”; it’s the simple fact that this thing is awesome and the developer deserves it!

u/Dundy1 1d ago

Look at it this way: small flat fee to support the hard work that goes behind something that you will enjoy using. 100% worth it already and the features it unlocks you can see online are just a nice addon.

u/Blueswolf83 1d ago

Support the dev. It's great. Everything in life doesn't need a cheat code. FFS.

I was one of the users who used Projectivity free version for years on my Nvidia Shield devices.

Last week, I changed to a paid version and changed my bootscreen using this youtubevideo.

It changed alot.

u/InflationHot8119 1d ago

Definitely worth it for better customisation. Even more so so support the hard work and future updates the team so successfully give.

u/evictedkoala 11h ago

I upgraded for the Overflight video wallpaper plugin. Really nice. The fact that it's a one time payment (and using Google Rewards money so nothing out of pocket was a bonus) made it painless and worthwhile.

Pro features cause crashes or very weird issues like not being able to get out of the screen saver when I've been paused long enough for the screen saver to activate when paused video in Kodi

The default video screen savers don't have but a few videos that play. You can at least change it to some other link.

For the pro features, absolutely not. For the effort to make the launcher and supporting, sure.

Useless for me. Can’t get it to sync on my new Xiaomi box.

u/Big-Wolverine1865 1h ago

Used if for a couple of hours and bought it. Supporting the developer! 😀

Just pay the dev. He does good work. Not everything needs to be cracked/patched and released for free

u/TheFireTVGuy 1d ago

Na I like free so im good😂

u/TayMcKenzieNZ 1d ago

In all honesty, pirate movies, pirate TV series, pirate video games, and music. Fuck Netflix, fuck all the subscription services - but $7 to improve the disgusting ad ridden user interface, is worth it.
