    I recall purchasing Photoshop for Android, before it became Lightroom for Android.

    It was as close to the desktop Photoshop as you could get, and it wasn’t cheap.

    Google (or adobe) took it out of the play store, effectively cutting customers off and preventing them from installing it on new devices.

    Fortunately, I was rooted at the time and backed up the APK, which allowed me to use it for years longer and on newer devices. But the experience really had be second guessing whether I should keep “buying” apps on the play store.

    There are quite a few other instances where games and apps I purchased simply disappeared. Such an unethical business model.
