Damn. This was one of the few apps that made me prefer Android over iOS. It's highly likely it's now going to die (the only thing Twitter gains from this is the team, the app has no relevance to them). It also probably means my one major annoyance with the app won't be fixed. It changes to work settings based on location but I work from home. Was hoping they would add a setting to set it to work between certain hours.

Can't you toggle between work and home manually, using a volume key?
Not sure about the volume key but you can toggle manually. That kind of defeats the purpose a bit though. One of the draws is that it does these things automatically.
Hi, I'm curious to know what features Cover had that you loved?
The simplicity of it was key. I'd previously been excited about Aviate (admittedly a launcher not a lock screen) but it was much too complex to get working perfectly. Cover showed me the apps it thought I needed but allowed me too easily swipe up to see more. It's 'peek' feature was very useful I found and I also liked it's quick task switching (swipe down from status bar to access most recent apps).
