Aside from the ads, you also have to sift through all of the crappy clones and shovelware to actually find something useful.
This was my exact experience a couple of days ago when I was trying to find a CSV viewer.
You know things are bad when your search for a CSV viewer looks like the back of a CVS receipt.
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.
They use an iPhone
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.
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.
For the past two weeks or so, I’ve also been seeing an ad in the search interface without actually typing anithing.
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.
