#Google arbitrarily messing around and removing well known #FOSS apps from #PlayStore seems to be peaking right now: First #Conversation had a fresh build being denied, now #Öffi has been entirely removed (not for the time) with no reason being disclosed.
That is why we desperately need usable and free #AppStore alternatives such as #FDroid, where we find most of our #FreeSoftware apps. Yes, I know it has security problems by design. But right now the alternatives fail when it comes to more important aspects:
#Obtainium is a good alternative for technophiles, who exactly know what they are looking for. Too complicated if you are used to a central source. #Accrescent might have good security standards regarding its architecture but the lack of app information, weird app listings (some including loads of trackers) and lack of basic usability features makes it very hard to recommend for the common user. And telling people to directly download of APKs is like randomly downloading EXEs on Windows. What could possibly go wrong?
