    Installed Neo Store. It’s a joke IMO, for one single reason.

    The app starts up and asks me for two permissions. “The app works better without battery optimizations.” Alright? I’m not willing to sacrifice battery life for random app updates. I’ll check for updates manually, and regularly, thank you.
    And: “Please allow notifications if you want notifications.” No.

    If I want neither of those, there’s no way to proceed. I press the back button, it closes the app.

    Fastest uninstall ever. 😐

    With a lacking thought process like that, I don’t trust the store at all because the devs clearly don’t have a lot of forethought.

      So…a repo manager asks to notify you of updates, and check for them in the background…and that requires an essay long screed?

      FYI I have battery optimizations enabled, and notifications disabled. App works great.

      But whatever, I genuinely give no shits if you use it, or don’t.
