The playstore is really poorly laid out. I dont know how to leave a review anymore. Every description has the same nonsense first instead of a description. Sometimes you can select the app developer to load their page with all their apps and sometimes you can’t. When did it get so bad?

I just wanted to flag an issue with an app and the review function isnt there.

    I do agree. Also the change log for all app updates now are: stability and performance improvements

    They are hiding it deliberately if people are more likely to leave critical or negative reviews.

    I can’t leave reviews through the Google maps app either, the function is gone. If I open the mobile website, it’s there again.

    Fucking hypocrites.

      The maps is annoying, look up hotels, they hide the website behind a drop down in the hopes you book through google…will I fuck.

      If OSM had speed trap warnings I would be gone.

        OSM does have speed trap warnings but someone would have had to add the speed trap for it to work. Organic Maps (or rather CoMaps, which I now use) shows me when there’s a spred trap.

    I like the more plain approach that Aurora Store is going for. It is an alternative Frontend to the Google Play API, but has just apps and nothing else. Posting reviews seems pretty straight forward although I never did it.

      Thank you, I have seen it mentioned and nevwr pulled the trigger. Just installed and replaced default open links.

        Some apps can detect they have not been installed through the play store and will refuse to work. My banking app pulls this bullshit, among others.

                You want a peach or strawberry, ideally a peach, but they’re both rotten. Instead of just getting rid of the rotten fruit, you picked a rotten strawberry.

                You want to use an AI slop machine (rotten peach), but it doesn’t work on your device because reasons, so instead of not using an AI slop machine (throwing away the rotten fruit), you chose to use a different AI slop machine (rotten strawberry) that does work on your device.
