Simple Mobile apps have been very popular among FOSS enthusiasts. I've personally been using the Gallery, Contacts and the Phone app since a few years now. It's a shame that it has come to this, will be on the lookout for their forks.

Same shit company bought the pixel minimal watch face, and they're now charging like 18$ PER WEEK for premium features.

I had already bought it thankfully and I kept my premium status but still. I was not happy

$18 per week?! Damn Netflix and Disney+ prices aren't even that high.

Yeah, I was REALLY pissed off that the guy sold his app to this shitty company. Now this. I didn't use the simple apps but I've heard of them since I was a pretty big f droid user.

They must give a lot of money to devs in exchange for ruining their work lol

Look, he got money, we got forks, the creator of the app might create a new project and run it on money they got from this sale

The company that purchased the app will soon find out that their whole userbase was foss people and they left for forks
