Re: Why do people use the Google Play Store search engine?

I did not install the Skyica app.  Don't need it.  Typically I've
already decided what I want before using the Play Store app.
I can't tell if the URL you provided is to the free or paid version.

As I said already, I downloaded it (many times) & it's always free for me.

Rest assured: The search & filter available with the Google Play Store (app
or web)vs Skyica is like comparing a Cessna to an F35 fighter jet.
All most people know is the Cessna. Not the fighter jet.
That's why I'm amazed people on this newsgroup think a Cessna===F35.
People on this newsgroup are supposed to be technically competent.
There's a huge difference between a Cessna & an F35 fighter jet.
Cessna: <https://play.google.com/store/apps/>
F35 Fighter Jet: <https://skyica.com/>
People on this newsgroup are supposed to be technically competent to know
the difference, just as a military pilot would know the difference between
what a Cessna can do and what an F35 can do when things need to be done.

The web page does not say.  I was referring to the comparison page that
notes there are free and paid version while noting feature differences
between them.
I could not find separate downloads for a free version or
for a paid version.  Perhaps what you download has an in-app purchase to
get the paid version.  Other than the comparison page noting free &
paid, https://skyica.com/appfinder/ says "Some advanced features require
payment".  If you don't need the paid features, you're set as long as
there are no nags, banners, or lockouts on displayed features.
 Are there features in the app you got that note they require payment?  I
have some apps where they have an option to hide the Pro/paid features,
but some just show all features with a mention on the payware features.

It would take you ten seconds to answer the questions above for yourself.
Read this thread please - and note - you'll find I posted to it to HELP the
developer improve his app (he & I conversed many times in the DM system).

If you do not read that thread, you will remain in the Dunning Kruger group
to the left of the first quartile - which is people who know absolutely
nothing about a topic & yet they "think" they're geniuses at that topic.
Please don't be like those people. Be technically competent please.
I'm trying to edify you that a Cessna is not the same as an F35.
Note I'm trying to *help* you - but you are fighting that help tooth & nail because you have a pre-conceived notion a Cessna is better than an F35.
