- tadfisher 14y agoIs it not their prerogative to ensure a good quality of network service and user experience? These apps harm everyone who uses the service unnecessarily. Is Google also being hypocritical by encouraging users to use networks for Search et al, at the same time encouraging developers to optimize for network usage and battery life?
