Aviate Android starter terminates Yahoo acquisition and adds one more victim

In recent years, Yahoo has been so criticized in its operation and investment strategy that many people complain about its power to "turn magic into decay". After all, there are not many lucky people like Tumblr. Recently, foreign media reported that a new member has been added to the list of "victims of Yahoo acquisition", which is the Aviate Android starter. As a popular third-party Android starter, it withdrew from the competition unexpectedly after it was acquired by Yahoo.

­Yahoo has just announced that the Aviate Android launcher project will be terminated in March this year, and users are advised to switch to other Android launcher apps in the Google Play store.

Of course, Yahoo can't be blamed for this, after all, the company has been supporting the project for so long. As a struggling Internet giant, the success or failure of every acquisition is seen as an important consideration.

In fact, Aviate was already developing in the direction of machine learning before it became popular. Its home screen is not immutable, but will be dynamically displayed according to the time, place and networking accessories of the day.

Unfortunately, Yahoo finally waved the guillotine. From March 8, 2018, Yahoo Aviate Launcher will be officially declared dead, and you will no longer see smart stream content updates or support.
