The Google Play Store search is like having a dictionary with ten thousand words in it whereas the actual GPS repository has a million words in it. > And of course, that it requires a login is of absolutely no importance > to the majority of people (except you). Remove the word "requires" and that sentence will be fine. But even you should know there's no requirement to have a Google Account on the phone to download & install apps from the Google Play Store repository. Most of my 900 or so apps on my phone at this moment are from the Google Play Store repository and I do NOT have a Google Account set on my phone. >> Why don't people use a far better search engine that actually finds apps >> based on extremely powerful comprehensive search criteria & which >> efficiently filters apps based on equally powerful vast filtering criteria? >> >> Why do people use just about the dumbest possible search engine instead? >> >> I don't get it. >> Is it because that's all they know? >> >> Why can't they install what I consider the best Android app ever written? >> <https://skyica.com/appfinder/get/> > > Why would we know about it? There's a Dunning-Kruger concept for the people on the left side of the first quartile marker which is people who "think" they know it all, and yet, they know so little that they don't even know what they don't know. That's most people when it comes to Android Google Play Store repository searches, but it's NOT supposed to be people on this technical newsgroup. Skyica has been discussed *many* times on this newsgroup, so if folks missed it, then that says a lot about their lack of ability to learn. All I'm asking is why would anyone use the atrociously horrid Google Play Store search & even more pathetic filters, when they don't have to?
