  I noticed that in their info text shown to their users, they don’t mention F-Droid. I wonder if google doesn’t allow them to mention other stores as part of their “security” policies.

    Upvote the comments in the Google play reviews that mention full features in fdroids version so they climb to the top of most helpful reviews.

  I agree with the sentiment, but wouldn’t necessarily recommend F-Droid, see privsec.dev/posts/…/f-droid-security-issues/

    “Oh no, an issue that will only affect an extremely narrow spread of people who aren’t already aware of it is present, therefore F-Droid bad”

    If you’re that concerned about being surveilled, you already have bigger issues.

      What? You clearly have no idea what you’re talking about. I recommend informing yourself before spewing nonsense.

    The signature and the random updates issues can be solved (partially) by using the izzyondroid repo. A lot of the applications on fdroid are on it. It compiles from sources, doesn’t change signatures, and fetch updates on a daily basis.

    It doesn’t solve all the issues, but it can help

      Indeed, as mentioned in the article.
