The reason I dislike this is because it will always be a free app. I say that in the sense that they will include tracking and advertising and even if you "pay to remove" you have no real guarantee.
It's better to have a paid app that does not have the code/permissions required to even engage in advertising and tracking in this way. Preferably the paid app doesn't even have IAP at all.
Looking through the Google Play store, nearly every "Top Free" app clearly states that data is collected and data is shared with third parties. Nearly every "Top Paid" app clearly states that no data is collected and no data is shared with third parties.
- freedomben 3y agoYes exactly. I rarely even look at free apps anymore, unless I don't see anything paid that looks good. I've also had trouble getting "purchase restored" on apps that I paid through IAP so I don't trust it anymore. I would much, much rather just pay up front.
- crote 3y agoJust because it doesn't have tracking now (or at least claims so) doesn't mean they won't add it a few months later. Paying for something is no guarantee for privacy, unfortunately.
