Comments and Reviews
This app combines lots of sources and even has a search function!
Its use case is to download Android apps directly from the official releases, instead of from F-Droid for example.
You can share your sources via a backup, making adding them less painful.
You can use the F-Droid source links for most apps, or even search for them.
Github, Codeberg, Gitlab and more work without a problem, some have trouble. Also the Developers dont always supply precompiles APKs so you may need F-Droid
Best way to pull apps from source! The user experience is far better than F-Droid ever was for me.
+Install and update apps straight from GitHub/Codeberg etc.
-UI is overloaded and confusing
The best way to keep apps that are not available on any store up to date!
My preferred way to update apps with direct APK downloads (GitHub for example). Would use it to download and update apps instead of Aurora Store or F-Droid.
Great alternative of f-droid and f-droid have some problems with signing app keys
Although you can set up something like an RSS feed yourself for any app pretty easily, this makes it very easy, and is FOSS.
