Comments and Reviews
I love that you can push apps to your Android device remotely. In my opinion, this is the Android Market's biggest advantage over competitors like the Apple App Store (though Appbrain can sort of do this too). I'd much rather download apps remotely from my desktop computer, than navigate the market from my Nook Color.
I wish it still had the app reviews when you uninstall, so you could tell the author why you were uninstalling it.
I wish it was still just an app store, and not a "music and movies and book and unrelated crap!" store. It sucks that I have to click so many times to get to the important part of the app.
Google loves shoving Google+ down our throats, and they've done it again by making it mandatory that you use your Google+ account to review apps on the app store. Makes me want to switch to an alternative
Me too! I'm done with Google Play and it's Google+.
Try Appszoom. It's the only one I've seen with lots of reviews and an Android App just like Google Play.
I hate Google play store
Not open-source.
Google Play Store, the official app marketplace for Android devices, is a digital haven where users can explore a vast array of applications, games, books, movies, and more. With a user-friendly interface, it offers seamless navigation, personalized recommendations, and a secure platform for downloading and updating apps. From productivity tools to entertainment, Google Play Store is your one-stop destination for discovering, installing, and enjoying the latest and greatest content for your Android device.
Downloads and installation were separate. Read other reviews carefully.
It’s okay,
i wish google would put more time and effort into how apps are sorted and filtered. Google should also put more resources into maintaining a higher tolerance of quality for apps in their store, so as not to have very very basic programs that serve the sole purpose of pushing Advertisements and generating revenue.
