Just another reason not to buy your phone from the carrier. I bought my unlocked Moto-X phones from Amazon. No Verizon crapware on them.

It replaces the Google search bar with Verizon's own search bar.

That's pretty lame on Verizon's part.

We have received additional information from Verizon and based on that information we are withdrawing this post while we investigate further. Here is the statement from Kelly Crummey, Director of Corporate Communications of Verizon: "As we said earlier this week, we are testing AppFlash to make app discovery better for consumers. The test is on a single phone – LG K20 V – and you have to opt-in to use the app. Or, you can easily disable the app. Nobody is required to use it. Verizon is committed to your privacy. Visit
