Thanks! Didn't know about that yet.

Sort of wish I exported my settings from simple to import to the Fossify app before I uninstalled. Oops.

EDIT: reinstalled the old version, exported, erased the app, and finally imported to the new fork. Everything worked great.

The app icon changed from green to orange after import so I uninstalled the wrong app at first. Haha! Was an easy fix once I knew what happened.
