While running through my apps to update the ones I actually use, I found that Samsung had added one for paying for books.
This cannot be removed, and as I do not use my phone for literary entertainment; is completely useless to me.
The comments from other users tended to echo this sentiment, so I can't help but wonder why makers put their customers backs up by clogging up our storage with this bilge.
Surely its time that consumers were given a voice to stop Google, Samsung, Apple et.al putting non removeable apps on the equipment WE pay for.
I speak from a personal perspective, but I prefer to choose the apps/programs that I use, instead of having them foisted on me by a company.

I am much in sympathy with you re. this but unfortunately I believe that you are in the minority (a vocal one perhaps but still a minority) as the majority are wedded or should that be welded, to their phones and lap up every thing that the manufacturers decide to 'throw' at them.
You can bet that this majority will just see another app, click on it, think 'that is way cool, and be suckered into the pockets of the providers. Unfortunately, c'est la vie...for most, but the vocal majority.

True perhaps, but why make it non removeable?
If I could remove the rubbish I don't use I would have a lot of extra space for apps that are useful.

Ah ha...but that is where the 'commercial' side of things clip in...being a cynic my view is that they believe that eventually one will get tired of the app just sitting there and click on it/be drawn in by it...which is what the majority of the younger, click happy generation will do.
As I said...I am just an old cynic...but some things never change...in my view...especially when there is money to be made by someone out there.

Well that must make us two old cynics.
I must have been born that way as I have never had that must trust in corporations, or for that matter government in general.
with all the stuff surfacing in the UK at the moment, it appears that it is well founded.
