    I want the apps back from 10 years ago. Well functioning, beautiful, no ads, no subscriptions, just one payment.

      Fuck, I’d take the apps from last year. Google fucked up the fucking weather app over the last year. How do you do that? They had something great with the Pixel Weather app with a great convenient layout and the cute froggy mascot. Why dump that for a lifeless app with worse layout?

      And Maps removed the ability to pause & skip forward media with a single easy press. They literally chose to make it less safe while driving. Plus removed navigation summaries like the distance and average speed of a trip.

      Go back further and you definitely get even better though. Fewer subscriptions. No AI crap. Remember when Google Now put useful information right at your fingertips? Before they killed that for just a news feed?
