7.19 AntiFeatures
This is optional - if present, it contains a comma-separated list of any of
the following values, describing an anti-feature the application has.
Even though such apps won’t be displayed unless a settings box is ticked,
it is a good idea to mention the reasons for the anti-feature(s) in the
description:
- ‘Ads’ - the application contains advertising.
- ‘Tracking’ - the application tracks and reports your activity to
somewhere without your consent. It’s commonly used for when developers
obtain crash logs without the user’s consent, or when an app is useless
without some kind of authentication.
- ‘NonFreeNet’ - the application relies on computational services that
are impossible to replace or that the replacement cannot be connected to
without major changes to the app.
- ‘NonFreeAdd’ - the application promotes non-Free add-ons, such that the
app is effectively an advert for other non-free software and such software is
not clearly labelled as such.
- ‘NonFreeDep’ - the application depends on a non-Free application (e.g.
Google Maps) - i.e. it requires it to be installed on the device, but does not
include it.
