Starts today. The newest update brought a tab to the "My Apps" section of the Play Store labeled "All", which is a ridiculous list of every app you have ever even looked at funny, never mind downloaded (free or not), with no way to filter so you can easily and conveniently browse your purchased but uninstalled apps. This is, IMHO, stupid and I've contacted Google about it, but it takes more than one squeaky wheel to get action so I am asking, nay pleading with you to contact Google through the "Help" option in the Play Store and demand for them to make this necessary change to the Play Store, and fire the moron who thought this latest edition was a good idea. The more I go through my list, and realize it's ridiculously poor implementation, the more heated I get. Join me, would you?

Thanks.

Really? This "movement" is entirely unnecessary.
You don't like the feature? DON'T SWIPE LEFT TO GET TO THE TAB.
For gods sake its a small UI change, its not a big deal. Get over it.
If you're REALLY that big ignorant and want to get rid of it, ask a dev, or do it yourself, go into the apk and change the framework of it so its not in there.
I don't give a damn about the all tab. It's useless to me, but others I know DO find it useful.

I completely agree with Droidificator! I have to search through clutter to find my setcpu or voodoo plus.It shows your recently installed/uninstalled first,like I said before,I purchased lots of apps in the past so gotta go through a mission without getting pissed:mad::mad::(:D

I don't wanna sound like a douche from the last post, but are you guys not talking about the "all" tab in MY APPS in the new market?
Why don't you just either SEARCH for setcpu/voodoo or go into your installed to look for the app?

i never even knew that screen existed until i saw this thread...and thats the truth. even though xrider is being a bit of a prick about it, im going to have to side with him >> just dont swipe to that screen?

im just trying to figure out how that screen prevents you from doing something, or hinders your play store experience in any way?? unless you have parkinsons and your thumb uncontrollably swipes to the left constantly - in which case you probably shouldnt have a touch screen phone period.

wait....is xrider the prick, or am i the prick?? ahhhhh hell with it, lets just all be pricks together

Yay I'm not the only prick.
But seriously, even though I do sound like a douche I'm being serious. Either I don't understand what the problem is, or well I'm... Right. (I sound douchey again)

Point is that before all if your purchased apps were at the bottom of your list if they weren't installed, easy to look through and decide if you wanted to reinstall them, or not. Now, you have to search through the entire list off every app you've ever tried, had a friend download, new ROM install etc. to see if there's an "old" paid app you might like to revisit, OR restore after a new ROM flash. And xrider, I'd think you'd like to be able to erase the pron apps you've downloaded in case you're mom gets ahold of your phone and pokes around.

And if you don't like the idea this post poses, you could take your own advice and not click on this topic.

I agree the new set up is a pain. You may let them know that BlackInjun does not like it so they must change it back or implement it better

firstly, if you didn't want opposition to your thread, you might as well have stated it in the OP. You're making a entire thread on this subject and you expect people who disagree with your opinion to just stay quiet? I don't know who, how old you are or anything and it doesn't matter but you need a reality check and know that people out there WILL disagree with your public opinion. As for my mom finding out about the porn apps, I could care less there's much bigger things in my life than me watching an Asian naked, alright? ;)

I don't mind opposing points of view, you just seemed to be getting worked up about my point of view so I suggested you exercise the option of using a little of your own advice. As for the porn comment, it was just a joke made because you've made statements more than once on these forums about liking porn (and no, there's nothing wrong with naked Asians, as long as they're female and have ALWAYS been female). Sorry if my post offended, I wasn't trying to be a prick.

Seriously though, you don't find the poor implementation of the "All" tab annoying? Especially since it isn't just a new feature, but has replaced a feature that used to be much more user friendly? One that I used a lot, and now is not only gone, but replaced by this idiodic list 500+ apps long, most of which I either don't remember ever using, or just downloaded to see and decided I didn't want or like them so they were deleted. Now I have to wade through them to find apps I paid for. Its crap.

I have no idea what the heck you are talking about. I have tried on my phone and tablet. I have swiped left, right, up and down (yes I am still talking about the market). I have seen the "All" on my PC but nary on my phone/tablet. Ya I said nary, so.

I guess in my case since I can't get into the "All" section, ignorance is bliss. Especially if it is pitting Xrider and Droidificator against one another. Darn you market and your evil plan to create anarchy amongst the users.

Your market has probably not updated then.

    It is 3.4.7. Same with my tablet. Ah well, no worries for now. Guess I can be a neutral party for now.

    Well, my market tells me my build version is 3.5.15
    Also, i just got a great idea for the OP, why not take an older market like the one Woodrube has and use it until they either "fix" your problem or decide to keep it?
