  2. New DANGEROUS google play requirement

    Oh yea I think so as well and yea the play store is 90% horrible apps and maybe 10% good apps.. The 10% good apps are buried in the trash. I use to browse the Google play store everyday.. But now I might look once a week. The amount of in game purchase apps is ridiculous.. I wish that feature would go the way of the dodo bird.

  3. google play

    Hi, there are some apps I want to download including the nationwide mobile banking app, and the AVG antivirus free, but the only way I can get them is through Google Play. I have the Nokia lumia 800 and when I try and download an app on Google Play there
    is an error message that saya "Your phone or tablet isn’t
    a supported device
    . There is no way to manually add your phone or tablet to the device list on play.google.com, and you will not be able to use the Google Play website." It advises that 'If your device is not on this list, then we recommend contacting your
    device manufacturer for further support'. The Nokia Lumia 800 is not on the list of supported devices for Google Play (see webpage:

    https://support.google.com/googleplay/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=1727131#N
    ). Please advise me how to get access to the nationwide mobile banking and AVG antivirus apps which I need.



    Thank you

    New DANGEROUS google play requirement

    I understand that but I still think users themselves need to look at permissions lists/ToS further. I check them thoroughly (google play listing and other websites dealing with security) before I even think about downloading the app.


    I just think the whole play store needs an overhaul bad. They focus way to much on making it look different every 2 months instead of actually focusing on clean apps and keeping tabs on bad developers and bad user reviews (tons of the reviews are very misleading and often times are jibberish or wrong)
