For first time I am being dissapointed at Jolla but also the fan reviewers/bloggers.

The reason is how Android support has been hyped up to much. That may hurt in the end when people realize apps may not work and crashing etc... I can understand that people want Android apps but still this should not be the "big thing".

What I want is more Sailfishos based apps not focus on Android application support! If I want Android phone I would go for some Android device. And I am suprised how much TMO folks seems to focus on Android apps on they'r Jolla phones

Now I also have seen several tweets and reviews videos where people tests Android apps like whatsup and spotify and so on. Funny is those apps than can be ported to SailfishOS with help of the community if we help each other with the development and testing and so on.

We have whatsap (if I remember name correct) and curespotify.

But my main dissapointment is the Android apps support on Harbour? It's plain wrong IMHO! I really don't get why? Why use QA resources to test Android apps in Harbour store when those resources should be used to fix native SailfishOS apps and bugfixes of the core OS?

I really really don't get it?

We need more native apps! And yes I know this is not only Jollas it also upto us to make that happen! But I think its contraproductive to support Android apps in the store.

So IMHO. Its time for Jolla to setup a hackevent or anything or maybe TMO or whatever. Show the world that we want native apps damnit! Show the world that we are unlike!

I think its way more important we get issues solved to support more librarys like python3 and atlleast PyOtherside and so on.

I may sound bit angry now, but not as angry as a bird, but I just want to give my opinion on this...

We should all work together to wipe out Android support 2015 because then we have every damn app needed as native sailfishapp
