What are you talking about, it's about 110 songs with a good enconder, that's like 8~10 albums.
That's close to nothing in 2023. It's not 2003 where 110 songs was huge.
Have you looked at the size of most apps recently? 350mb is slightly on the big side, but nothing crazy.
I'm not saying it in relative terms, but in absolute terms. 350 MB is lots of space that can be useful, it's certainly not "close to nothing".
Like, I fear to imagine how much shipping fic would I have to publish annually in order to fill 350 MB in my lifetime...
Also PS You are looking at the universal APK, which contains the binaries for all CPU structures. OBVIOUSLY the one that's meant for your phone will be smaller. Mine was like 170 mb
Dude it's basically nothing. Mp3s have been/could be considered small for like 10+ years. It's much larger than I think it should be but it's not like it's an unreasonable space hog. File sizes have been inflating steadily for years as internet speeds increase worldwide
