Google play is fucked for many years now. Gone are the days of Gingerbreads, Ice Cream Sandwiches and Jelly Beans.
On the App Store, if I search for "Two Dots", the first 2/3 of my screen is filled with "Two Dots" and when I scroll down, I get related apps. And when I scroll down FURTHER, I see ads for other apps.
Android the open-source OS is cool and all. As soon as you involve Google in your Android experience, you're better off getting an iPhone instead. They at least have the common courtesy of giving you a reach-around while they... y'know.
no ads in Aurora Store (:
They also pester you with notifications and they're always some candy crush trash shit
Double your pleasure double your fun 😉
Without exception, whenever I search for a specific app I need to Google it because the App Store search function is so utterly shit.
It never just shows me what I'm searching for, it's always shitty predatory apps with a million ads that show up first.
Also, the frame drops. Oh the frame drops. Searching and app and scrolling down always drops frames since Google switched away from Android Market. I can't imagine how does it still happen to this day lmao.
