I feel safer with F-droid.

[-] asexualchangeling@lemmy.ml 13 points 9 months ago

Same, I don't even touch google play anymore, to high a risk of downloading spyware or a virus

[-] Nath@aussie.zone 13 points 9 months ago

I feel like the overlap of people smart enough to install F-droid and dumb enough to install a dodgy adware app has to be pretty small.

Don't underestimate the dumbness of people.

Which third-party client is good for F-Droid? Or the first-party app is good?

[-] radix@lemm.ee 7 points 9 months ago

I've been really liking Neo Store.

[-] MalReynolds@slrpnk.net 8 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

Yup, has F-Droid even got auto update yet? That's what sold me on Neo...

[-] StereoTypo@beehaw.org 3 points 9 months ago

I'm pretty sure it does

[-] Unsustainable@lemmy.today 2 points 9 months ago

Yes! It just started working when I updated it a few days ago.

Droidify is where it is at!

[-] perishthethought@lemm.ee 2 points 9 months ago

Is it just me, or is extending your trust even further from F-Droid maybe not a great idea?

[-] hunt4peas@lemmy.ml 1 points 9 months ago

Some said the unofficial F-Droid apps are better than the official F-Droid itself.

[-] perishthethought@lemm.ee 2 points 9 months ago

Define "better" though. More secure? Safer for me and my data in the long run? Ok, cool!
