I like to peruse the new apps added to the Android Market every day to see what’s new in the world of Android. I realize this is a little obsessive, but oh well. It’s just something I’ve done since I got my phone. Now, because I like to see all of the new apps, I generally use the All Apps category and filter it by Just In which mostly works great, except for one small thing. The All Apps category lists every non-game application, including all the wallpapers, themes, font packs, etc.
Now, if it were an actual program that managed wallpapers, themes or font packs I could understand why they would be listed as an app, but is wallpaper really an app? Also, when publishers add new wallpapers, or themes they sometimes publish 20 (or more) at a time, so you’ll see a Lakers theme followed by a Clippers theme, followed by a Cavs theme and so on. It gets really annoying. I wish the Android Market had another category for these types of files. It would make my daily habit much more enjoyable.
It’s not that I don’t appreciate the themes or the people that make them; I just think they should be organized differently. If they had their own category it would be easier to find them when you wanted them and easier to avoid them when you don’t. I think it would be a win win situation.
