What on earth are you talking about? We were comparing quality of apps in the App Store versus Google play store, that was the whole premise of the discussion. How does that make me an addict?

I also didn’t say there weren’t any proper apps in the google play store. I said there is lots of crap in there. I also didn’t say that stock apps of all vendors are crap. Obviously file management and email were examples. You can apply my statement about general quality of android apps to practically any app category. There are so many half baked, proof of concept, abandoned hobby project, malicious data hoarding apps on the google store that you waste lots of time looking for something that can do something that should have been solved already. It is hard to filter through the crap.

This is not a useful response. If you're going to make an assertion, don't run behind false pretences and logical fallacies to defend yourself from a cogent argument.

Your phone didn't come with carrier-bundled bloatware?

One app form vodafone which is for account management purposes. That is all.

"There isn't a single app on my phone that's junk. "

I use that app to pay my bill and enabled roaming charges when I travel. It has two very clear use cases.
