Google is putting the clamp on low-effort apps in the Play Store. Apps that don't offer basic functionality or quality may be removed.

Thing is, there actually are some good basic apps out there. Things like pomodoro timers with no ads or tracking. Super basic but useful, and hard yobfind because they get buried below other 'slick' versions stuffed with ads and trackers.

Not only that, it's outright against the rules to "market" on the playstore as ad-free

Really? I shouldn't be surprised but that's depressing. I'm happy to pay for good apps mind
