        Droidify is the best! Best performance and UI of all compatible clients, and even handles 3rd repos that wont load on others.

        Hey thanks for this! I used f droid for a while but was always meh on the UI and how clunky it is. I used this for a bit and I already like it waaaay more. Cheers!

          I have used it for maybe a year and I never had any problems. Then again, I’m hardly a power user, so it makes sense that other people might have different experiences. :)

            I really like that they add more repos you just need to enable. Number 1 reason to use it, as F-Droid will never add those for obvious reasons.

            Some that I cant live without

            • Mobilsicher (proprietary German apps that are core infrastructure. They ask those developers if they can get the APKs)
            • (Bitwarden) (dont use it)
            • Julians Repo: nice to get GrapheneOS app updates, but you should install their appstore instead.

      I agree that F-Droid is great!

      What I usually do is to buy the pro version on Google Play and install it later on F-Droid.

      On the other hand I don’t see anything wrong for non tech people to install FOSS apps from the Play Store. The apps are still FOSS

        Not exactly. When building for play store release - google injects their tracking into the binary.

          I think this is a myth. Android Studio or something allows to build it in, but Google doesnt automatically do that. Afaik

      Yeah. I usually go to the Playstore to buy out all the In-App purchases and support development, but this is really discouraging.

        True. But F-Droid has Donation links everywhere. I prefer that over buying, idk why.

        Oh, found out at least F-Droid Basic doesnt display the links! Thats not nice it has

          Less fees taken if you donate instead of buying most likely.

          Droidify shows the donation links fine, which is nice!
