[Android Apps and Games] TheDrive:
Hello! I would like to thank rumboalla for great idea and product. I don't personally need to update every new app ver's upon it available somewhere snd still use some apps made in 2011-12 with Android, while still use some utils from 80's and 90's for PC (yes, I do use some DOS apps today).

But this util helps me to be informed about new ver's and possibilities, available since I have installed some app.

I do never use Market/Play for anything. All the apps in.my Android devices were installed manually. I do NOT agree with any Google service's policies and forced to use them with evil power, having no alternate possibilites to perform my own activity avoiding touching any 'matrices'. So I do.like this app a lot! However I found a few problems, making app usage some kind uncomfortable.

1. Once I have started update download, intentionally or occasionally, I can't stop it, nor pause/resume it for any reason, nor even switch to wifi w/o dl process ganging, except forcing the whole app to die/reset with a task manager. Very annoying problem. App could have a big size and eat an amount of the mobile traffic, which is still paid in most countries, sometimes at an exceptional rates, however dl stop/pause/resume functionality is required anyway, including wifi dl.

2. Direct links were removed from dialog since the early versions and replaced with update link, but I would like to be able to see snd copy links to dl with my dl app manually once anything will go wrong. Furthermore, I would like to see and copy the whoke requests (incl. referrers, cookies, etc bullsh-t) to e.g. Play to be informed and be able to simulate these requests manually with e.g. curl. Once your app's target is to dl app updates this functionality seems to be reasonable for the dl util. Isn't it?

3. I can't clearly understand what method is used to communicate with Google Play service. Does the app directly request Google, send my account details? (I was forced to make one anonymous for some devices to be able to use some messenger services and stay connected with some 'stupid' friends, once it seems to be difficult to crack all the checks and remove the whole account management off the such an apps). Read on forums there were Evazio service used to communicate with Play, however there is no links to Evazi inside of app menu and settings. I don't want to dl a thing from Google providing account details. There could be some alternate account, as it is an absolute requirement to dl apk's from Google directly and as you designed in your app, but it sholdn't be some kind associated with a particular device, so shouldn't be stored in the 'accounts', where GApps can easily capture it. It's unclear from app's interface. The more info and settings should clear situation. Where is derect Play, where is Evazi, where is alternate acc and how does every option work (through what). The target is the maximal anonymousity opposed to the Google's allseeing eyes. User should clearly understand what is going on.

4. I have read util will dl .apk's to it's /data/data/...etc... folder. Why not to dl apk's to the dedicated SDCard folder, so user could easily find and reinstall them manually. Especially the fact some can go wrong at every point. I'm aware of some troubles accessing sdcards on some idiotic devices, but it seems there is no other way to store similar objects like media or installers anywhere except sdcard and in open manner. I do personally always check binaries with my favourite Hiew, make at least quick code/data overview before running/installing. I will not install any apps without such a check unless I have any ability to do it. And I don't care of any 'signatures' and similar 'security measures' There are thousands malware apps signed by e.g. Comodo and root authorities still provide Comodo's authorisation for the decades. Any bastard can buy signatures for money, while the whole 'security busines', who make us afraid and steal our data and rights, isn't a friend for me nor you. My security delivered by my eyes and I do catch malwares too... Once a 5 years. While many ppl, who use AV SW do catch it every day.

5. App has shown there is no updates for my device upon the first start, however there was a connection errors in the log. After a some time it shown 77 apps found and next day shown 82. It seems there are problems with an effective error handling. Why not to directly show what is a reason of the problems, pount which server doesn't respond, let user time to fix e.g. communication problems, then press some retry button?

6. Why not to make an additional list where user can move the only apps he would like to check? Checking for the decades an hundreds of the apps consume much time. Sometimes ppl would like to update just a few apps and even wait for particular updates hoping it will resolve some existing problems. Why not to add button to check the particular app immediately? (without checking all the remaining).

It's very important to be absolutely clear at every stage with such an app like yours. Thank you anyway and good luck with your unique app!

Sorry for mistyping, I do type from this tiny virtual kbd, while effectively seeing such a small objects with the only one eye. :)
