On: Apple's App Store Has Become an Ad-Plagued Version...

[TylerE]

Aren’t the various android AppStore’s even more crap laden?

No. There are stores that even specialise in user-respectful and ad-free experience for people.

the nvidia shield store for games was pretty solid when it was around

I'm not sure how I'd rate the quality of the amazon app store but they did have cool features that let you trial an app in your browser

in all honestly with these two stores owning the entire us market there's never going to be much iteration or innovation.. even something simple like a ios version of itch.io would be fantastic

F-droid is fine and for most of the apps you can just sideload the apk.

[Gigachad → ReptileMan]

Fdroid is the only thing I miss from android. The apps there were primitive but at least they weren’t abusive.

[Mindwipe → TylerE]

A centralised store at all is the issue.
