I know this is anecdata, but honestly at this point I'm a negative datapoint for them: I am slowly deleting more and more apps off my phone as the months go on.

I know this is anecdata, but honestly at this point I'm a negative datapoint for them: I am slowly deleting more and more apps off my phone as the months go on. Mobile gaming never worked out for me (it's all terrible all the time) and honestly, my phone is for maps and talking to friends, all of which I can do in 2-3 apps. The rest is just a slow accumulation of junk I realise I don't care about.
- yoz-y 10y agoTo each their own I guess. For me my telephone is my computer for everything except coding and watching movies. However I do agree that having an app for a website is subpar. However I always prefer an app over a web-app (e.g.: yelp)
- SCdF 10y agoSo funny you should mention yelp, I just deleted it a week or so ago. I realised I didn't actually use it really much at all, and honestly if I'm out and about (and so am not planning on my computer) I'm perfectly happy to just chance it at a random place than try to over-analyse and pick the optimal meal at the optimal place to eat.
- visarga 10y agoI recently deleted dozens of apps off my Android phone. After years of using the phone as intended, a month ago I started getting full screen ads, some with video and sound. They start whenever they want, even if I am using the launcher or the phone is locked. So I reset the phone to factory defaults and only took back a few apps. I don't really need them.
- Yhippa 10y agoThe best is when you still get blaring ad sound even though "Total silence" mode is on.
