neo store refuses to run if you don’t grant it the right to send notifications and bypass battery optimizations. if an app demands a permission and doesn’t have a plausible explanation why it needs it, i don’t keep it :/

imo magic earth is a navigation app, full stop. it does that amazingly well, including live traffic, but i wouldn’t use it for anything else. organic maps is a better general-purpose map but isn’t a patch on magic earth for nav.
It exists, it’s called a robots.txt file that the developers can put into place, and then bots like the webarchive crawler will ignore the content.
the internet archive doesn’t respect robots.txt:
Over time we have observed that the robots.txt files that are geared toward search engine crawlers do not necessarily serve our archival purposes.
the only way to stay out of the internet archive is to follow the process they created and hope they agree to remove you. or firewall them.
i’m shopping for mp3 players for precisely this reason - a friend has an ipod touch that abruptly stopped scrobbling. the last.fm app is stuck in a loop sucking battery. and she needs bluetooth anyway. she has always kept music and phone separate but now we have to ask the five whys on that before getting her a new unfamiliar gadget.
