    As a user or as the developer, how do you prefer to pay/be paid: one-time payment, Play Pass, free w/ads or subscription?

    Posted: 23 Aug 2020 07:16 PM PDT

    Obviously most users impulsively will prefer one-time (or free w/ads) the most and subs the least, and developers the opposite, but let's be honest, a couple bucks one-time payment is not long-term sustainable. And especially on Android, we as users have been spoiled not to accept "new version, new payment" like we do in other platforms.

    I have a few apps that I'm happy to pay a direct subscription/Patreon for (AutoApps & Tasker <3). But I was wondering about other, non-essential but still useful apps. Generally speaking if there's a free version w/ads available I install that and use it for a while, and if I find it useful I pay for the full version if available. But I'm left wondering if developers would just rather I keep using it w/ads instead of paying one-time. Of course this is not a new question, but now Play Pass is in the game as well.

    Initially I was going to make this only a "free w/ads vs. Play Pass" thread, but if there are cases of developers preferring a one-time payment or users preferring direct subscriptions I would like to hear it too.

    There's Plenty of Room at the Top

    Posted: 23 Aug 2020 08:28 PM PDT

    There is a startling lack of super high spec android phones as the honorary successor to the Note 8/Note 9 line. Samsung has really dropped the ball for us when they streamlined their lines for ops purposes; every handset they release is increasingly generic. Even the Z coming soon doesn't have wow-me specs or an Spen which of all devices come the fuck on that one would ideally suit it.

    Samsung do what has worked for you: have the S line be the tried and true iPhone combatant, and go hard on radical exuberance with the Note line a la Galaxy Note Flip (with compulsory Spen).

    Why does Google cater to Apple users?

    Posted: 23 Aug 2020 06:15 PM PDT

    This isn't a hate post or rant but question about how Google does Android business.

    Apple does not allow/publish it's apps on Android, so why does Google feel obligated to do so? Google needs to not wall itself off but take a definitive stance it's own brand (Android) oriented eco-system that does not share features with Apple.

    Wouldn't it be more beneficial to create it's own dominance on the market than the small amount of user data it harvests from Apple users?

    I feel if Google kept it's apps limited to Windows and Android, it's user base would grow substantially. What are your guys thoughts?
