Doesn't Google allow those terrible apps like Life365 that are literally candied spyware?

Sadly yes. Remember how it took donkey years for them to remove Clean Master?

Still so mad the company behind it bought ES File Manager and run it to the ground.

There was this picture app that lot of people loved called quick pic that got sold to cheetah.

Don't like that such sketchy companies are allowed to operate on the play store.

There is this QuickPic mod on XDA that I've been using since it got bought out by Cheetah. You should check it out.

Have you tried Simple Gallery Pro? It's free on F-Droid

yep. All SIMPLE MOBILE APPS are awesome. It's just that I've been using QuickPic for a very long time now (~7-8 years).Switching feels odd now.

Oh, I forgot about quick pic! Fucking Cheetah Mobile.

For this reason, I've blacklisted all of Cheetah Mobile's links on my DNS to this day.
