This REALLY sucks and I have like 10 of these apps on my phone right now because I get everything from F-Droid on my otherwise standard android phone.

F-Droid probably won’t accept any builds with adware/tracking in them, so probably we’ll just stay on an old version until a fork or alternative comes along.

If it’s open source F-Droid will permit it but warns you of anti-features, at least on first install. I’m not expecting an update now but if they do I can see if F-Droid warns me about the spyware and adverts.

Well, the F-Droid team may in theory permit it, but it’s also the F-Droid team that has to actively build and distribute the new version. If they don’t feel like distributing a newer version, they can absolutely do that.

I went through and disabled auto updates for them (through fdroid) just in case.
