Just wait till they block sideloading and lock the bootloaders. The technological dystopia is coming.

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.

Nothing new there.

I use Minireview to get game recommendations to bypass searching through the play store
