Who else agrees that the play store should have a section which tells if an app needs a mandatory login to use it ? Like why the hell does a simple offline planner todo app need you to sign-up if you don't wanna use cloud backup. Jeez the user just trusted you by spending valuable time and bandwidth downloading your app. You owe it to him to show him some features of the app before shoving a sign up in his face. As an app developer myself I really think that this kind of behaviour turns off more users than anything else.

    I like that idea, maybe have "account creation required" and/or "may sign up with google account" etc

    What gets me are desktop applications which don't really need an online component, asking you to register for some kind of account.

    Enter your notepad.exe login here. Don't have an account? Click here to register and sync your settings* across devices!

    * MRU list, font, and what you last typed into the "Find" box.
