- Name of app
  - Exception: If the developer has multiple apps on sale, it can be the developer’s name and an indication that it is multiple apps
- Regular price and sale price
  - Examples:
    - $4.99 -> $0.99
    - $2.99 -> free
- The word (Expired) before the name once the sale is over
Post descriptions must contain:
- All or part of the description of the app from the Google Play Store.
Post descriptions can contain:
- The date when the sale ends, if known
- Your country of origin (This is not required, but can help because sometimes sales are limited to parts of the world.)
- Historical information about pricing if known
Do not include any other information in the post! No media or other links. If you would like to provide more information or opinions, make a reply.
Do not violate the lemmy.ca server rules.

Recommendations

To help others decide whether to buy or download these apps, make a reply and share what you know, including:
- the merits of the app
- compatibility issues with different Android devices
- similar apps that you prefer
- historical pricing data if known
If you see a sale has expired, please reply with the word “Expired” so the poster knows to change the title.
If the sale has expired but you think the app is worth paying full price, please say so. We like sales, but we also want developers to be fairly compensated for good work.

It doesn't send anything because i turned it off... Thats the point im making. It has no outgoing traffic records.

You can tell that it's not sending anything to azure or AWS?

I can say it ain't sending anything if telemetry is off.

Even if it wouldn't go through the pi or the DNS to the outside.

So I decided to reinstall Nova to test your theory. As you can see, I have telemetry turned off:

Yet, the launcher still attempts some sort of network request:

Firewall Logs

I haven't dove into the packets to see what it's trying to do but if I didn't have it blocked by Adguard's firewall I wouldn't even know.

Don't trust it.

I'll look into it, maybe its update pulls or something. Trust is a overstatement, i basically put all of the apps requests to void, meaning they won't go anywhere.

Updates should be handled by the Play Store.

In theory yes. I can't look it up right now however, so we need to wait.

Happy new year btw
