F-droid for open source apps, Aurora Store for all the Play Store apps. You’re welcome :)
isn’t aurora store broken though
It is. Those fake accounts that Aurora Store uses stop working randomly. I learned the hard way to never rely on Aurora Store ever again and just use sandboxed Play Store on GrapheneOS.
Yikes. That is horrible. How can an upper level exec look at that and say: Yes! That’s exactly what I was looking for!
90% of that page is revenue generation, they’d be happy to increase that number! You only need a few pixels to see what you actually want to do.
You don’t… You don’t think any exec cares about user experience, do you? Well, they do, but only to the extent that everything they do is just below our threshold for leaving in outrage.
They look at their fat paychecks + golden parachutes and say: Yes! That’s exactly what I was looking for!
Money
they don’t care, as long as the users are captured and unable to switch to something else. and unlike with iOS, they have the figleaf of side-loading to protect themselves, even though 90% of users won’t pursue it. so pressure from the EU will be minimal even as the user experience continues to degrade
I try to avoid using the official app as much as possible, usually manage with Aurora store, thats why it stood out to me how bad it has become of late when I just went to update my game. Not shocking, but disheartening.
Like others have said I too gave up on Play Store a long time ago. If I need an app it comes from Github, XDA, F-Droid etc. Obtainium for updates
Wow it looks like I haven’t used the playstore for a long time now… I guess I install app from a link in a web browser or github page or something, but searching and browsing the playstore I have not done in years.
Yeah precisely what I went through also, I have f-droid, Aurora store, even obtainium for those apps you usually get updates directly on their GitHub pages, going back to the Playstore has been a eye opener.
And I thought the iOS App Store was bad … This is on another level.
It’s awful. I would never go there to discover an app. I download most apps these days by searching for them from my launcher and then clicking the link to search the playstore for that keyword.
You’re still using it, so they’re gonna keep doing it.
Doesn’t appear to happen to me, probably some kind of glitch https://postimg.cc/CdqZRDt1
Might be, I have reduced the number of ad columns by one, with this latest screenshot. Not getting the same result as you. Then again, that could be because my android version is older and such.
Yeah but you got the large video body from the game you searched for. Seems like this is much better.
