These assholes deleted my verified play store account because my app s didn't need updates. They really are trying to build a closed trash heap.

    Another excuses from goolag to create their walled garden on Android OS. That means it will be more difficult to install .apk from f-droid or from other sources.

    We desperately need a real open source mobile OS.
