Don't use any play store. Just download the apk from github or use Obtainium.

new hack marked, but I haven't switched to Android phone yet; I was thinking of getting rid of phones 😂 buying a new phone and then just for a few Apps seems silly? and I don't need to call or anything.

This is key difference between WoS that REQUIRE google services (aka tracing) and Blink that do not require it.

I wish they would abandon the stablesats, then Blink would be the coolest APP for noobs.
