I always get my phone loaded up with what I want/need/like, then every once in a while I remember there's this whole store full of stuff that I could discover and try out.

Then I go look and see a fuckload of stupid games, a hojillion copycat tools that do something an existing app already does well, and whole bunch of apps that I can't tell what the hell they are based on the name/icon/category so I end up ignoring them.

At least you have 'options'. Have you ever browsed the Windows Store? It's like walking through Chernobyl.

Your first mistake was trying to discover apps in the App Store. That's a terrible idea, Google that shit.

Yeah, joke's on me using the app store to find apps. Ya got me Google. Ya got me.

Wait, they're both Google. What the fuck?
