[Android Apps and Games] Bionic88:
I just started using this. It was plugged on LifeHacker as an alternative to the Galaxy store, but I think the writer shoulda included more details about this app...it's not exactly for the casual user. And I wouldn't necessarily consider it as alternative to Samsung's store. It would have been easier to recommend the Play store, since most Galaxy store apps are found in there. And you don't have to deal with the Galaxy stores full page ads/popups. The Samsung user is more likely stuck w/ the Galaxy store regardless, since certain Samsung apps are only updated through it...I haven't checked but FDroid or another repo might have them, but this seems like an unnecessary step..unless you're looking for an app to reinstall. (Any Samsung users, you can make a shortcut on your homepage for the Galaxy store app updates list only. You'll never see another ad this way.)

With all that said, I do like this project. I have hit a few bugs, but nothing major. I've tried posting Play comments, but there's a "failed" toast. Joining beta for an app seems to conflict w/ the Play store, and will show the "leaving beta..." message if I access the apps page in Play. These are minor, possibly known/discussed here.

This apps great for users like me. The one's who get bored w/ the same old stuff..the tinkerer I guess. Thanks for this!! It works in Dex btw. And here's the post that plugged it just in case it wasn't passed on..
