Harry, you know why I download OSMand from Google Play Store: I downloaded a paid OSMand first time there and since this first download I'm a slave of Google. Yes, I hate that (and many other peoples, too), but I can't change that now. You also know, that F-Droid don't offers a complete version of OSMand and you know that the newest version of OSMand is offered there with a delay of some weeks. Sometimes F-Droid offers the newest version never. When you know that all: Why do you ask me that ? It's pure rhetoric from you ! It seems, that you are the troll here and that you don't tolerate critics against OSMand. I paid for OSMand, but with the versions 3.9.3, 3.9.4, 3.9.5 and 3.9.6 OSMand closes the door for me by including Google spy software which blocks the app when the google play (spy) services are not active. That is not OK ! The alternate versions shows, that OSMand can work without the google spy services. Yes, I hate Google because it is grown to a moloch which spies everywhere in my life, when I'm online. I can't change that, but I can protest against it. When a previously google free app becomes a google slave app, I protest against that. I'm not a troll, I'm a free man, who wants to keep free. [email protected] schrieb am Donnerstag, 4.
