Comments about Google Play Store as an Alternative to F-Droid
Google Play is generally for developers, while F-Droid aims at open-source and free development
Some users think Google Play Store is a great F-Droid alternative, some don't.
- Google Play Store is Free and Proprietary
No way to use it without supplying sensitive data. There are lots of false apps, most contain tracking and Ads, and you can't filter for trustworthy opensource apps.
Google Play is the biggest cancer of Android. It is not a source anyone can use, so supplying your critical infrastructure Apps (talking to you, public transport) only there is horrible.
