- mimi89999 7y agoReally? It's basically impossible to distribute apps for iOS outside the AppStore and very difficult (all security, warranty warnings, settings, etc.) to distribute them outside the PlayStore.
- dna_polymerase 7y agoThankfully so. Apple keeps the App Store pretty clean, legacy apps, that are not maintained enough don't make it to the next iOS release and their capability system means I don't have to trust third party apps with anything. Of course, there are cases that essentially suffer from this, but for me as a user, I've got to say I'm pretty satisfied.
- BlueTemplar 7y agoYes, by using Apple you knew what you were getting into, however we're still butthurt from the Android bait and switch...
- IAmEveryone 7y agoYeah... really. As a user, I (and >99% of others) just don't care about the distribution channel. The stores work. I've never been hit by a security issue. Choice is plentiful. Prices are ok. So "totally broken" just isn't a rational description.
- klagermkii 7y agoThis might be a fine answer to dealing with a commodity product in a market with strong competition, but a terrible one for any system with limited choice and an extremely strong network effect.
