Uninstall apps: why?

[-Ollie-]

I see a few "uninstall apps" on the market and I am wondering why there are such applications.
Uninstalling an app from the phone is not that complicated and it is quite fast.
Maybe my question is silly but I am very new to Android. I know that Windows for example does not uninstall programs properly, and one needs often a third party program to really make a clean uninstall.
Is that the same with Android, or do these apps just make it faster to uninstall an app (with the same result that one will get with a "uninstall" process through the apps manager)?

I'm with you, I can't see the point of installing an app that uninstalls apps - especially when it's so easy to do. There are two (that I can think of) ways to uninstall apps from you phone, neither one of them is hard to do.

Well, the market app does not order alphabetically, and has no option to order by size either - it is also limited to apps downloaded from the market rather than from third parties.

To be honest, I have found myself using the astro app manager since I already had astro installed and the above mentioned abilities come in handy at times.

I use Titanium Backup to uninstall apps. Why? Because I first back them up, and their associated data. Should I choose to reinstall the app, I can just restore the data (settings, etc...) almost instantly.

As for other "uninstall apps" on the Market, they make uninstalling just a tad quicker/easier. I've experimented with a couple of them, but eventually have uninstalled them ... probably because I use TiBu to accomplish this.
