IT'S OPEN SOURCE STOP COMPLAINING YOU CAN LITERALLY FIX IT YOURSELF

>95% of the apps on F-Droid are useless >80% of the apps on F-Droid are not being updated anymore. so, just like the normal play store?
Carson Wilson
lol no

I'm not even some seething anti-google incel, and I'll admit that most of the apps F-Droid are better than the ad-ridden garbage on the Play Store, hell, most of the apps I use are both on Play and F-Droid.
Austin Allen
honestly just wish they would get faster servers. I've never seen an entire category actually load with app icons and descriptions let alone the front page. Its painfully slow. Do they even ask for donations to upgrade hosting?
Cameron Nguyen
It isn't about ads or even the apps that Fdroid has available.
The google services and apis make everything usable, you can use some mini/micro bullshit that provides the bare minimum to launch some apps that maybe will function properly while you miss out on all the benefits of the latest API versions...
I mean, you can only try this shit so many times before you just get sick of it and realize its never going to work well and go back to vanilla Android. Its akin to a denial phase.
Logan Watson
Works for me user, I always check f-droid first before going to the android store. No ads and no spyware is worth any other trade on mobile.
When you're looking for an app to do explicitly 1 thing f-droid tends to best out the play store hands down. Plus I dont need to update the apps that often so the slow download doesn't matter.
Isaiah Peterson
This post is what the denial phase looks like.

G-Droid or Aurora Store
Thomas Martinez
What denial phase?
I use what I use and haven't had a need to download a sloo of apps on my phone
Open camera only recently got btfo'd by the default Google camera app but on previous android devices open camera kicked ass. I still would pick it over any others non-google phone default camera app.
Simple gallery and simple file manager are great
I have a barcode reader, and a scanning app.
I'm not ungoogled by any means, f-droid is just nice to have in conjunction with the play store.

I put up with F-Droid so I can get based apps like Newpipe, which the Jews won't allow in their Jew store. I am also too lazy to just download and manually update the Newpipe app by itself.
Yes, they are fucking amateurs. I wish there was another decent open source repository for Android.
Nicholas Collins
>I put up with F-Droid so I can get based apps like Newpipe Newpipe updates itself from the github apk. You don't need F-Droid for that.
Lincoln Rodriguez
So the app has a built in updater?
Alexander Walker
yes
Matthew White
yep, Kuroba also does that
Aiden Cruz
>WHY DO FOSSFAGS PUT UP WITH IT? Because they're stupid and poor. Same reason FOSSfags .
Jace James
That's nice to know I might get the other apk then. Thank you!
Ian Peterson
because most of the apps i actually use are on it? because i value open-source software? it's mildly shitty but i don't see why you're chimping out over it dude this seems like more of a troll than any f-droid post i've ever read
Hunter Collins
Youre taking a lot of shit for granted. The fact that you can't wait for an app to download with a slower speed simply points out that you are an inferior fellow with severe lacking in impulse control. 你吗的, Tripfag!

This.
Yes, google play store is even worse with the software quality.
