[Owncloud] Bad Android appstore ratings

[Norman Rieß]

These are just a few comments from the playstore without my personal
opinion:

* There are nicer, better apps for free. I expect more from a paid app.
* How to share a file url? The app itself does not support creating links.
* Photo upload seems to work after the last update but i am still
missing the option to sync whole diretories. Devs need to do more to get
4 or 5 stars.
* Works ok, but i am logged out after a while.
* Very few features.
* Local dir not selectable, direct upload not usable.
* Very bad for a paid app. No directory sync and most features of the
server are not supported.
* Works, but in comparisson with the webapp very little features. No
mediaplayer, no album, no calendar, no contacts.
* Calendar and contacts are missing.
* This is senseless without being able to share the files, for a paid
app this is insulting.
* Can't sync since the last update. This app is a desaster. Rudimentary
feature set and now it stopped working completely. Wanting money for
this is impertinent.
* I like to pay for owncloud, but this app is just bad. It lacks simple
functions like move and cut.
* Syncronises files, not more. Would be nice to have more options.
* Filesync works ok, but no calendar, no task sync. Featureset not
comparable with dropbox.
* Filesync unreliable after a while with many files, missing files and
crashes. Not usable.
* Contacts and calendar is missing.
* Photoupload does not work, hope for a patch.
* Direct upload does not work any more. Weak for a paid app. Really bugged.
* Softupload does not work.
* This app is not woth the money. Dirs are only synct partialy, many
features missing and developement seemed to be stalled. With every
update less usable.
* Many bugs, no retry option for uploads, this app is no fun.
* Camera Upload fails regularly. Weak feature set.
* I like to pay for apps, but then they should work.

This is directly from the store with minimal selection, just scroll
through the comments, it's all there.
People expect more.
I must admit i had issues with the app myself and do not use it very
often, because i deem it to be unreliable.
My lates issue was constantly failed up and downloads. After overwriting
the configuration the cerificate popup came and asked to accept the
certificate. After this it worked again. It did not tell me it had an
issue with the cert before, it just died silently.

Regards,
Norman
