It’s also a buggy piece of crap…
Update notification? Sweet! Gotta click it, right? Oh, some obscure error message that doesn’t let me update the apps. I guess I start the app itself then, right? Oh, it immediately crashed with an even more obscure error message. And what’s this? It shows me updates for apps that I have already removed. I wonder why? Maybe I should clean the cache and update the repositories. Huh? Oh, the update is stuck somewhere and doesn’t move forward anymore and now I can’t even search for anything.
I’ve had tons of bugs with it as well. Still usable but annoying.
I haven’t had any of that, but I do notice that F-Droid can’t seem to automatically update itself without erroring. Something about failing to parse the package; I forget the exact error message. I wonder what the problem is…
Neostore may be a better client for you.
I never had any issues with it
