The layout of the playstore sucks now, and the ads in apps have got worse.

Fdroid looks bad and has terrible sarch though to be fair.

I'm less concerned with F-Droid's UI, I've been using it for well over a decade now and am fairly used to it, but I absolutely get the frustration. The recent UI update is an improvement, though.

Play Store's UI is absolutely atrocious. The ad-ridden garbage is why I just stay away from it as much as possible.

Agreed.

I use droidify which is nicer but the search is still poor. Happy to get some stripped back functional apps, tbh I use pay more overall but it goes to devs and im not infuriated by poor service.
