I love trying new apps. Don't know why. It is like games almost. Though I don't game on my mobile devices.

No. Ad infested bloatware at best, in app purchases and insane difficulty level (PVZ2) at worst. I don't want to encourage their behavior. I still prefer the desktop for this reason... easier to clamp down on things, block all the popup overlays and tapatalk spam on the browser, things of that sort.

I'd rather buy the app for a specified price but they make more money off of the in app purchases and in particular have got the art of getting little kids to beg their parents for powerups down to a science. If they don't do that, the constant ads after every level.. I'd rather play an emulated game from an old console.

I use the "torque" app for diagnosing codes on my car and a radar app once in a while otherwise I've been unimpressed with most everything I try and off it goes.

I like when fdroid gets a new app, which isn't all that frequently, especially compared to Play. I get excited that there's something new, but it's usually either not relevant, or just another mobile program(read barely fit for purpose).

I find all apps are very bad. iOS apps are very stable. I don't know why Google did not check to make sure all Apps are ok to run.
