For those of us who use a Mac that's not a headache. Second, every time I open the Play Store on one of my Android phones I feel like I'm about to catch an STD.

For those of us who use a Mac that's not a headache. Second, every time I open the Play Store on one of my Android phones I feel like I'm about to catch an STD. Not to mention there's about 1500 Chinese clones for every single app, making it impossible to find anything useful through search. Apple is definitely doing the right thing, although I do agree that randomly rejecting apps (although that has never happened to me - I always had a positive experience with app reviewers) can be demoralizing.

Apple users are particularly susceptible to Marketing tricks. You can see this by the fear in this thread. But oddly they aren't afraid that iPhones are constantly cracked by the FBI and China has huge infulence over Apple.

Have you recently used the app store? It's horrible. Most of the apps are just ad filled junk. Some of them outright try to scam you with bait and switch tactics like taking advantage of Touch ID to get you to start a trial and then charging for 70$/week after your 1 week trial ends. And I've recently came across a lot of "free" apps with good reviews that are only free to download but requires you to pay the moment you start using them... and pay for a subscription. They seem to wait for the app to get good ratings and then push an update that essentially turns it into a paid app in disguise. The layout and the UI of the app store itself are just horrendous too imo. Having android and apple devices I always prefer using the google play store, because at least the UI is usable.
