Galaxy Store: Por qué Samsung debe cerrarla ya

La tienda de aplicaciones de Samsung se ha convertido en una molestia irrelevante para los usuarios de Galaxy, plagada de publicidad invasiva y con serios problemas para mantener las apps actualizadas. Es hora de que la compañía admita la derrota y consolide todos sus servicios en la Play Store de Google, simplificando la experiencia para todos (Fuente Android Authority).

Android Authority sostiene que la Galaxy Store de Samsung ya no cumple su propósito y se ha convertido en un estorbo para los usuarios. El principal punto de frustración es la experiencia de usuario, marcada por una excesiva e intrusiva publicidad, especialmente los pop-ups que aparecen al abrir la aplicación y que solo pueden desactivarse temporalmente por un día.

Peor aún, la tienda no logra cumplir su función principal de mantener las aplicaciones del sistema actualizadas de manera fiable, siendo menos consistente que la Play Store. A menudo, los usuarios deben ingresar manualmente para encontrar una docena de actualizaciones pendientes. Además, la Galaxy Store se confunde con las aplicaciones instaladas desde Google Play, mostrando errores de «no se puede actualizar automáticamente» y obligando al usuario a migrar a la Play Store para completar la tarea.

La relevancia de la Galaxy Store ha disminuido drásticamente. Las características que antes la hacían única, como los temas y fuentes personalizadas, han sido reemplazadas o superadas por las funcionalidades de Android, como Material You de Google y los módulos Good Lock que ahora usan paquetes de iconos de la Play Store. Incluso el soporte para aplicaciones Tizen en los antiguos relojes Galaxy Watch ya fue desactivado por Samsung.

La conclusión del informe es clara: Samsung ya ha migrado varias de sus aplicaciones clave (como Clock, Samsung Notes y Good Lock) a Google Play. Para mejorar la experiencia de usuario, la compañía surcoreana debería completar la transición, unificando todas sus aplicaciones en una sola plataforma y eliminando una tienda secundaria que solo genera fricción.

Hope this extends to #Android derivations like #AndroidXR, #AndroidTV and #WearOS, tbh. Especially Wear OS. We need at least the #Samsung #GalaxyStore to thrive again!

Galaxy Store gets improved GUI for tablets

Samsung has started rolling out a new version of Galaxy Store that brings improvements for the tablet users. This new version is 4.5.92.8, which brings a new sidebar at the left side of the screen instead of the blown-up mobile UI at the main home screen. You can see this improvement below:

This allows you to also collapse and expand the menu sidebar, which shows you some of the most commonly used options, such as Updates and My Apps. This is a huge improvement that makes the store actually use the big screen space that tablets have.

In addition to that, we’ve also spotted changes to the application information page, which makes suggested apps appear at the right side of the screen, while the main information pane takes up about 75% of the screen real estate to provide useful information, similar to how Google Play Store uses the large screen for app info pages.

For comparison, here’s what an app info page looks like on tablets:

You can install this update by opening the Galaxy Store, which will greet you with an update page. This update is mandatory to ensure better experience.

Samsung and Netflix team up for a special holiday treat 🎮 Exclusive Squid Game Season 2 content hits Galaxy Store for a limited time. Will you survive the next round? 🦑 Read the full story to discover what's in store for Galaxy users.

I found out today that my (previous year) flagship #Samsung android device now requires a Samsung Account in order to keep the many pre-installed Samsung apps updated via the Galaxy Store. I don't need any "benefits" of a Samsung Account and certainly don't need the additional privacy disbenefits and extra (highly privileged) attack surface. I won't be associating a Samsung Account with my device.

Summary of the changes to the Galaxy Store policy are here if you're interested or may be affected by this: https://www.androidauthority.com/samsung-account-galaxy-store-access-3484730/

This is obviously unnecessary and seems like a really dumb idea from a security / vulnerability perspective.
