Richard I completely agree with you. It took me years to see that. I used Android for years. Will Google ever catch up? Doubtful. Could they yes if Apple took years off and Google actually did something.

Sure, it's got its rough edges, but at least I control what is on my phone, what can go on my phone, what app stores are on my phone, and can even play the video games I'm good at, on my phone. Its not perfect as I said, but I have control, and Apple, or Google for that matter, cannot take it away. I think the only way Apple will change so drastically is if they notice a decrease in money. Their App Store is very dear to them as a money-making ability, so I doubt a few people complaining about a specialized app will move them. After all, thousands of people complaining about CSAM hasn't, and thousands complaining about fortnight hasn't either. If it does, though, that's great. But if not, prepare to vote with your money. Android isn't as dark a side as you think. :) Devin Prater r.d.t.pra...@gmail.com <mailto:r.d.t.pra...@gmail.com> gemini://tilde.pink/~devinprater/ On Sun, Aug 22, 2021 at 12:35 AM 'Harry Bell' via VIPhone <viphone@googlegroups.com <mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com> > wrote: Jonathan Mosen is urging as many of us as possible to email Apple’s Phil Schiller schil...@apple.com <mailto:schil...@apple.com> to urge him to intervene personally to sort out the problems leading to the developer of FlickType withdrawing his app after his updates were rejected for mystifying reasons.
