    Because I am on this ng to learn from others and to add value,
    I would like to let everyone know about this *fantastic* new app!

    *Skyica App Finder is the best Google Play Store search engine*
    <https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=scadica.aq>

    *The search engine works on Mac/Linux/Windows too!*
    <https://skyica.com/>

    This new free, ad free & gsffree Google Play Store skin does almost
    everything you'd ever want an app-search engine to do, including writing
    the results to an editable Excel file after running one of the best search algorithms on the planet with filters for user ratings, no ads, no cost,
    play pass, no in-app purchases, number of ratings, number of downloads,
    price range, in-app price range, date last updated, date originally
    released, content rating, required Android API, target Android API, etc.

    Skyica App Finder uses the FOSS Google Play Store repository scraper
    <https://github.com/facundoolano/google-play-scraper>
    and works in very many languages (and is actively developed & supported).

    Once you've searched for & chosen an app, the Skyica App Finder will
    gracefully pass you to your favorite installation method, whether that be
    the Google Play Store skin itself, or a web browser interface to the Google Play Store repository - or even one of the third-party skins to the Google
    Play Store repository (such as Aurora Store, Yalp or whatever), where these tools have huge advantages over the typical Google Play Store installation method (such as automatically *not deleting* the APK after installing it!).

    I know that this new Skyica App Finder works gracefully with privacy-based third-party installers because the Skyica App Finder developer recently supported me on the XDA site to ensure that people like I am (who have no accounts whatsoever on our phones) can still use the Skyica App Finder seamlessly with the Aurora Store Google Play Store skin to search for apps
    and then to gracefully automatically *not delete* those APKs found, and
    then to install those APKs on our phone (prior to automatic APK archival).

    BTW, Skyica's newly written Mac/Linux/Windows web site is also the best on
    the planet for searching apps on the Google Play Store repository (IMHO),
    (but it's not yet phone friendly).

    The developer is constantly improving the new Skyica App Finder app and his associated Skyica App Finder web search engine, where he says he will be
    adding more repositories such as F-Droid, Amazon, Galaxy, and even the iOS
    app repos in the near future if the app takes off & becomes commonly used.

    I sincerely enjoy helping people learn more & I love to learn from others
    which is why I wrote this public service announcement - to inform others.
