Ratings and reviews

I use it specifically to see what apps need to be updated, since in the past not all apps automatically update themselves. Its easy to navigate. Since I do not game, the bulk of what is available I do not use. However, since I just got a Kindle, I might use the books section of this app to search for what I like to read.

I accidentally sent a gift card to an email address that is no longer available. There is no way to get help from a person. All help is automated responses. I requested a refund. Automated response, no refunds on gift cards. The amount I spent shows the balance was put in my Google Play account I purchased the gift card from. However, I am not able to use the balance. I have tried contacting Google Play, but all attempts come back with automated responses. I know the gift card has not been used.

Where is Google Play Store App - I can't search it, But it regularly Updates itself. I hate the fact you can swipe your icon to a different account - Who uses this, not me, But it just does it, randomly Annoying. The app does so many things as well as update your Apps now. I do wish certain Apps from Google weren't hidden as System ones 'cause it's hard to check/change the Permissions for them. My phone Always has Remove Permissions If Unused - hopefully that doesn't apply to System ones? 5⭐👍
