That's one more than App Store downloads for iOS users. This past weekend, we reported that Google Play Store now lets Android users install or update up...

        I’ve been leaning more and more towards using fdroid just to find apps and then using Obtainium to install them directly from source.

          Same. I’m using Obtanium anyway for things that are github-only, no real need to have the clunky fdroid client installed as well.

          Not saying its worse but I recall seeing an article about some change in policy with it but honestly I can’t find it now. Maybe it was fud.

            I think I remember something about that, but I didn’t pay much attention to it at the time. I feel like whatever it was, it was rather recent, though.

          did you read the other replies? nothing much but a bit back there was some article about changes in terms of paid for stuff. I can’t find it now though so not sure how real it was.
