As I said already, I downloaded it (many times) & it's always free for me.

Rest assured: The search & filter available with the Google Play Store (app
or web)vs Skyica is like comparing a Cessna to an F35 fighter jet.

All most people know is the Cessna. Not the fighter jet.
That's why I'm amazed people on this newsgroup think a Cessna===F35.

People on this newsgroup are supposed to be technically competent.
There's a huge difference between a Cessna & an F35 fighter jet.

Cessna: <https://play.google.com/store/apps/>
F35 Fighter Jet: <https://skyica.com/>

People on this newsgroup are supposed to be technically competent to know
the difference, just as a military pilot would know the difference between
what a Cessna can do and what an F35 can do when things need to be done.

It would take you ten seconds to answer the questions above for yourself.

Read this thread please - and note - you'll find I posted to it to HELP the
developer improve his app (he & I conversed many times in the DM system).
 *[APP][6.0+] App Finder: The most advanced search engine for Android apps*
 <https://xdaforums.com/t/app-6-0-app-finder-the-most-advanced-search-engine-for-android-apps.4578809/>

If you do not read that thread, you will remain in the Dunning Kruger group
to the left of the first quartile - which is people who know absolutely
nothing about a topic & yet they "think" they're geniuses at that topic.

Please don't be like those people. 
Be technically competent please.

I'm trying to edify you that a Cessna is not the same as an F35.

Note I'm trying to *help* you - but you are fighting that help tooth & nail 
because you have a pre-conceived notion a Cessna is better than an F35.
