Ask HN: If I broke a Google App Store feature, can I report it ANYWHERE?

2 pointsby WCityMikealmost 5 years ago
I literally don&#x27;t know where to report it. I tend to push customization features to their extreme ... I broke Ticketmaster by adding too many bands to their &#x27;monitoring&#x27; feature, and had to get a CSR to clear them out. I think I&#x27;ve done the same to Google.<p>A long time ago in far earlier Android days, I used the &quot;X&quot; that is to the right of any app - that lets you supposedly remove it from your app history&#x2F;library - on a large number of apps.<p>Now -- and this has &quot;traveled&quot; with me from Android phone to Android phone - any listing of my app &quot;library&quot; is marred by massive delays while it &quot;skips&quot; over those long-ago-X&#x27;d out apps. The listing will scroll down and when it hits a removed entry, pause a tiny bit - but the cumulative effect of those pauses added up has slowed down the app intolerably for me in several kinds of situations.<p>I&#x27;d love to either have that issue addressed (honestly, installing multiple apps at once is a nightmare in Android, you have to wait not only for download but for installation before it moves onto the next) ...<p>... or at the very least have an option to restore those X&#x27;d out apps so as to stop the delays.<p>I&#x27;m the kind of guy who&#x27;d be happy to open a ticket with someone but this doesn&#x27;t seem to be a thing where even a ticketing system is open to the public. I know Hacker News may have some Google staff -- even if you can&#x27;t address the problem yourself, a pointer in the right direction would be appreciated. It seems as if the only other option would be to start an entirely new Google account, and that&#x27;d be problematic for many reasons.
