They got a new owner years ago. No one should still be using it. Lawnchair has been great for me.
Holy shit the screenshots on Play store are depressing
You want to use one of the much more recent nightly or beta builds.

Can you remove the search bar at the bottom of the home screen?
Yeah, that's what I do. It's fully customizable.
I ducked off the Nova train with their fishy new owners a few months ago. My one complaint about Lawnchair is that the search function is slower and less effective, otherwise it's great!
