Hard disagree. First thing I do on any new android phone is install a third party app: f-droid. the play store is impossible to navigate because it's flooded with ad-laden crap and overly permission-greedy dodgy apps. f-droid (for those who aren't familiar, it's an app store for open source applications) is an excellent way to get away from that and get apps that are basically guaranteed not to be user-hostile.
not to mention that app stores impose censorship on the sites that offer apps there. if you're an art platform you aren't allowed to show anything that even just vaguely hints at nudity (and I'm not talking about just outright porn here)
- Wowfunhappy 5y agoAnd you're able to install f-droid because Android allows sideloading, which has nothing to do with the awful way Google has managed the play store!
- asddubs 5y agoyes, I was trying to make the case for side-loading being good. If the iPhone had an f-droid equivalent I would probably switch over.
