asked 2019-03-28 00:19:07 +0200
Hey guys,
I just spent 29.90 EUR (what kind of stupid price, do you try to fool us with that? Why dont you take just 30!) for the well announed feature "Android Support Beta" for my XA2 Ultra. After installing it there is really no such support.?!? I try to find Firefox on the Stores: No result I try to find Nextcloud on the Stores: No result I try to find Google Play: No result So where is the so called Android Support??
Try to be honest!
you need to download the apps you need from the internet as apk and then install it, it is best to install the file browser from the jolla store to make it faster

- Go to fdroid.org and install F-Droid
- In F-Droid, install "Yalp store"
- Install apps from Yalp store (or of course from F-Droid which has Fennec which is some fork of firefox)
