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 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.

          This has been happening more and more to me lately. Not the end of the world, and I still use Aurora Store for the majority of my apps, but it’s concerning.

              I mean, I can live without for the brief period where we’ll be needing our AIs to run remotely. It would be within months probably that we’ll have some free GPT4All implementation (or similar) running on a phone. There’s already whisperAI running locally at decent speeds on a phone for STT, and there’s SherpaTTS running Kaldi TTS also with pretty realistic results…all fully local, all available in f-Droid. I don’t think there’s anything stopping your phone from running a lower distilled model locally, if your RAM allows it.

                my point is why the fuck would one need any sort of gpt-like thing? are we seriously already at the point where people feel that is a necessary thing in daily life?

      Hey thanks!

      I guess I already had it installed on my phone. Maybe from a previous recommendation.

      Will be using this more & more. Not sure when this change happened, but lately there’s always a sponsored link at the top of the search results in Play Store. No bueno
