Ads upon ads upon ads
The ads are so fucking bad now on Google play.
Now the top part of my search menu shows ads whenever I'm looking for apps.

Yo dawg, I heard you liked ads ...
They also pester you with notifications and they're always some candy crush trash shit
Double your pleasure double your fun 😉
no ads in Aurora Store (:
Google play is fucked for many years now. Gone are the days of Gingerbreads, Ice Cream Sandwiches and Jelly Beans.
Nothing new there.
I use Minireview to get game recommendations to bypass searching through the play store

Also, the frame drops. Oh the frame drops. Searching and app and scrolling down always drops frames since Google switched away from Android Market. I can't imagine how does it still happen to this day lmao.
Without exception, whenever I search for a specific app I need to Google it because the App Store search function is so utterly shit.
It never just shows me what I'm searching for, it's always shitty predatory apps with a million ads that show up first.
