Google is putting the clamp on low-effort apps in the Play Store. Apps that don't offer basic functionality or quality may be removed.

    I noticed there is no mention of removing games that are basically 5 minutes of actual gameplay for every 30 minutes of ads… I’ve noticed a lot of them don’t even give the option to pay to remove ads anymore and they’re just mandatory now…

        I can’t stand the ones that say they have a “free trial” but you can’t even try the free version without providing a payment method… It’s basically like the developer telling you that their app isn’t any good and they’re counting on you forgetting you signed up for it lol

          Right? Apple does that shit too. No need to pay but we want your credit card and you can’t cancel until the day your subscription expires.

            It’s like the whole business model is based on hoping kids download these apps and just agree to everything without telling their parents lol I can’t think of anyone else who would agree to pay $15.99 a week for an app that shows you what you’ll look like when you’re 80 lol
