Have you ever heard of the F-droid-store?

8 0 ReplyWhy Fdroid is not secure:
- Hosts an outdated APK client.
- Utilizes an obsolete installation method.
- Does not take advantage of modern appstore features.
- Has no moderation.
- Has no old app deletion.
- Has an arbitrary FOSS only rule.
- Does all building and signing themselves.

Accrescent is a new appstore that fixes all these issues but its still in alpha stage and has 11 apps right now.
I replaced fdroid with Obtainium that pulls apks from github,gitlab,fdroid,etc and it has support for auto updates. It's a little better than Fdroid but still has its own issues.
