of any app. You can still find the actual Flappy Bird apk out there. And any app rejected from the Google Play Store can still be provided via other channels. This is one of the nice things about Android letting you side load apps.
- gress 13y agoSo you're suggesting people go in search of flappy bird clones outside the play store to install on their devices? What could possibly go wrong?
- jack-r-abbit 13y agoNo. That is not what I am suggesting. I am stating two facts and offering one opinion about one feature of Android.
- gress 13y agoThe context is people wanting to download flappy bird clones and you offered those as advantages of android, therefore you are indeed suggesting that.
- jack-r-abbit 13y agoThe parent to your comment suggested installing an apk. And you asked "[Install an apk] of what?". And I answered. I didn't suggest you do it. But the fact that you can side load is an advantage of Android. Are we clear now?
- gress 13y agoYes. You're trying to pretend that your comment had no context, when it did.
- jack-r-abbit 13y agoWell, you're trying to pretend I made a suggestion, when I didn't. I think I'm done dealing with you so... good day.
- gress 13y agoOk - let's say you made no suggestion - just pointed out an 'advantage'. In this case, it is a severe disadvantage, because it exposes unsophisticated users to malware and spam just so that they can install clones of a bad game they've heard about because of a media flap.
- blueskin_ 13y agoPeople can publish on alternative markets, e.g. f-droid. PS. a non-market app still has the same permissions model - you can check what permissions it wants and decide whether to install it or not.
- gress 13y agoDo you think the permissions will protect regular users from malicious flappy-bird clones?
