Yes, Skyica has been mentioned a few times (not many times) ... but only
by YOU in this newsgroup in the last 4 months (*).  From your claim of
involvement with its development, and your own enthusiastic usage, you
have an obvious vested interest in proselytizing it.

  (*) I purge articles in my NNTP client that are over 4 months old.  
      The older the article, the less relevant it becomes.  

Other than searching the message store in their Usenet client, no one
(but you) is going to dedicate engrams on outdated discussions.  I only
recall hearing about Skyica in 4 threads here ... always started by you.

Is 4 considered a few or *many* (bolding means VERY MANY)?

Skyica was "founded" in late 2022.  Not sure when they first released
App Finder.  Didn't find a release history to see when it showed up.
Looks to have shown up around Sep 2023 according to Google Groups
discussions, or Nov 2023 according to:

I found 136 posts since 2016, and the earliest reference is Dec 13 2023 
by Wally J, which is one of his aliases. My search engine can not tell 
which of those posts are replies, ie, quoted material. It is a raw text 
search on the store, so no threads.

It doesn't have a wikipedia page. I judge the importance of a tool after 
reading their wikipedia article.

I'm not sure how to respond to that, other than saying some people get a
phone based purely on the color of that phone or on an advertisement.

Me? 

I don't plan on doing that so I decide what to use based on what it does.
 <https://skyica.com/appfinder/features/>

My observation is people who *only* use the Google Play Store app search
(and filters) are always, a priori, those making bad decisions about apps.

The great thing about Skyica App Finder is it makes people NOT stupid.
I really mean that.

You think I'm getting a cut of $ or something simply because you don't
understand that kind-hearted intelligent people try to inform others.

I'm extremely intelligent. I'm also extremely kind hearted. Humble too! :)
As such, I deeply sincerely *care* that people use good app search engines.

Which, let's face it, are one of the most fundamental things you can do.

People who search only using the Google Play Store app are always stupid
when it comes to making "conclusions" on what apps exist on the Google Play
Store repo. The reason they're so stupid is they have no idea what's there.

Having said that people who think they know everything when it's clear they
know nothing (because they're using a crappy search engine, that's why)
don't have to know everything. That's fine. 

But they should never say an app functionality isn't there after only
searching using the decrepit (barely functional) Google Play Store app.

If they haven't used the Skyica App Finder, they don't know anything.
They're just guessing.

Which is what makes ignorant people into stupid people after all.

Me? 
I don't plan on being ignorant, so when I search, I use the best engine.
 <https://skyica.com/appfinder/get/>

All I want to know from others is whether it asks them for money.
Because it has never asked me for money & I've been using it for a while.

Nope.  I think you got involved in its development which made you
enthusiastic about it.  As I said, you have a vested interest.

Inferring others are idiots that ask you questions or disagree with you
will not engender the audience you want.

While I got involved in Skyica development for selfish reasons (i.e., I
needed it to work WITHOUT the Google Play Store app existing), I ofen
promote Muntashirakon App Manager and I'm not "involved" in that one.

I often promote PulseSMS (the last known good version), or Nova (again, the
last known good version) or Etar, or the last known good versions of Simple
Mobile Tools, or the WhatsApp direct dialer or screensopy/soundcopy or
WebDav servers or Wi-Fi/Cellular analyzers or offline GPS routing apps,
etc.

None of those do I have any developer involvement, right?
I know you well, VanguardLH. You guess at everything. You never look
anything up. You just guess. And that's fine. But you guess wrong.

All the time.

Me? 
I do not guess at anything.

I don't trust my intuition in the least.
You trust your intuition with your life.

We're completely different personalities.

You shake with fear at any risk, perceived or real (since you guess).
I don't.

I take risks. 
You don't.

And that's OK.
Nobody says you have to learn anything.

But please stop guessing wrong. 
That's all I ask of you.

You guess wrongly at my motives for example.

What you're missing is that I'm an extremely intelligent person who is also
extremely kind hearted (and humble!) who *cares* that people be informed.

I've never begged my audience to like me. I only wish to teach them. 
Or, as the case may be, to *learn* from them (like from Andy Burns).

Andy turned me on to Marcel's NetGuard, for example, and I've been
promoting Marcel's FairEmail also on this newsgroup for many years.

I have no involvement in their "App Development" (although I tested
Marcel's FairEmail on XDA when Google temporarily forced 2FA upon him).

Marcel eventually left XDA in disgust because he was smarter than anyone on
there, which is kind of how I feel on this newsgroup when people tell me
that they actually want to remain ignorant and that they never want to find
a better way to do things. It's kind of the antithesis of what I am.

Which is why I constantly inform people on this newsgroup of the best apps
on the planet, only one of which is the Skyica App Finder.

Your "guess" that I'm invested in all these apps, is patently absurd.
Anyway, if you're not going to try the Skyica App Finder (which is because
you're deathly afraid of even the slightest of risk) that's fine. 

But don't 'diss what you're obviously completely ignorant of.
Just accept that people who know more than you do about it, promote it.

For the good of the people here - not for their own profit.
(Your guess at my motives is seriously patently ridiculously absurd.)

You may as well accuse me of secretly being a Russian KGB spy.
Ooops. :)

In fact, it puts people against the app.

You give me too much credit for holding sway over what your actions are.

The reasons provided, to date, for NOT testing the app are that people like
you and Vanguard are so afraid of technology that you came up with absurd
(wrong) guesses as to what something as simple as a search engine does.

With people like you and Vanguard so deathly afraid of even the simplest of
technology, I don't thing there is *anything* I could possibly do to change
the abject fear you both expressed in something as simple as an APK.

You give me too much credit given your quivering fear of tech is palpable.

And there you go insulting your readers again.  I'm not bothering to
recite my resume in the software and hardware QA field for 30 years to
some asshole that is intent on belittling everyone that disagrees with
them.  You have the personality of Alan Conner with a bit more polish.

I'm sure the Skyica would appreciate you stop prosyletizing their
product considering your actual intent here.

Both of you are afraid of all new app functionality.
Both of you do this all the time.

You hate yourself for being afraid of the app functionality.
So you blame the messenger.

Stop it.
Face your own fears.

Don't blame me because YOU are afraid of an app.
It's unbecoming of a man.

Children do that.
Not men.

Face your own fears.

Look. It's clear you're AFRAID.
Every word you write here is about your own personal abnormal fears.

And that's OK.

It doesn't matter that you're so afraid of installing an APK that you spend
hours fabricating absurd excuses for why you can't install the app APK.

It's abundantly clear why you won't install the APK.
It's the same reason you won't install the Aurora APK.

You won't install the APK because you're AFRAID of it.
And that's OK.

You spent hours fabricating absurdly ridiculous excuses for why you
couldn't install the Aurora APK also, Vanguard. You think I forget?

Face it.
You're *A-F-R-A-I-D*.

And that's OK.

But don't blame me for your insanely abnormal personal fears of an APK.

It's not my problem that you're so afraid of an APK that you have to
fabricate all sorts of ridiculous objections to installing that app.

It's your problem.
You're AFRAID of something as simple as installing an app.

And that's OK.

What's NOT ok is for you to blame me for your abject fears.

It's not my fault you're afraid of any APK that replaces Google
functionality. It's your problem. Not mine. Deal with it.

That reasoning assuages your ego that your choice is better because,
gee, those that disagree just must be ignorant or afraid.  Uh huh.  

How old are you?

Because they don't know better.
