Pretty valid criticism. But as an android dev, it's quite normal. We got used to it. Build your app in the recommended way, don't do weird stuff, read the guidelines. Accept drawbacks. That's more or less what you have to do,

When bad actors keep misusing and messing up user's folders & data, it was deemed necessary. I know I know, on desktop machines this is different. But they also suffer from hundreds of thousands of malware, ransomware, etc.

It's an app that ships with/downloads the synching (go-based) binary. (I am pretty sure this is still the case, I looked at it some years ago)

For me, a mixed crossword between all games doesn't make sense. You could give me 20 crosswords with Dota stuff in it and I would be able to solve 0, not even with hints it would be doable. So maybe rather have some for League, some fo

I do see consolidation happening, but it doesn't have to do with data. Right now there are many EMP (eMobility Provider) in Europe, trying to get a piece of the cake. Scale of economics will make the big ones have an edge over the smal

OpenStreetMap gives you static data. But when charging, you almost always need dynamic data (current station availability, availability forecast, charging prices...) even in the most basic use cases. And to get dynamic data you can't j

You can also remotely remove the iCloud lock, even without performing 2fa (not exactly sure how it is secured then, but it worked)

As an android dev: the work hours I spend talking with iOS colleagues is the same as with AND ones. Usually you want to sort of be up to date with the other platform as well.

Lingvist only tells you how a word/sentence is written and spelt. It only explains what the single word & full sentence you are looking for means. But sometimes it would be useful to know what a different, already shown, word means
