Android Market Store = Terrible


Recommended Posts

How do Google get away with this? It's horrible this store!

For one, it messes up compatibility really easy. Like when I get my phone I could not install Tap Tap Revenge 4 saying not compatible. Factory reset, now it's compatible. ROM Flash it's not. Back to Stock, it is. What's up with this!

Also price changes, on the home page it lists Tapatalk as ?1.81 ... Appbrain lists it as ?1.82 then it shows as ?1.80 ?!?. Also APNDroid, when I first got the phone I must have got the full version free as I have no credit card linked yet I remember having the full status bar button and everything. Yet after a restore, it's paid.

Lastly applications, Tubemate is in the market but shows up when it wants too. Sometimes it will, sometimes it won't. Also it'll show up from one Google account, yet if I sign into another it'll say it's deleted yet it was not. What's up with this shoddy service. iTunes is better! At least I can redownload paid apps, have stable prices and have no compatibility issues.

Sorry, just saw this and laughed pretty hard. Quit reading after that.

You installed custom ROM and things don't work. What did you expect?

It's the same as when things don't work when you jailbreak on iOS

App prices... shows that it's tied to the exchange rate. If it was like Apple, they would need to create a buffer in the price to keep it stable, which means that everything will be more expensive.

Probably not compatible with that version of Android.. not Google's fault.

A 1p price difference?! The horror ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!

The developer would've made it a paid app; again, not Google's fault.

Does your second google account have a different location listed to the first one? Some apps are only available in certain locations..

Could have something to do with your custom roms as well.

Quit your whining and actually learn how to use the phone.
