Oruxmaps even had a donate version that went through proper Google channels when the free version was forcibly removed either for a donation link in the app that was incompletely removed from the Play store build variant or because of a donation link on the product website. It never came back, now the paid version on Play is effectively a billboard "you could save those dollars by going over to F-Droid where we are payment optional".
- dmix 7y agoThis is good news for F-Droid. I just wish F-Droid had a better design but I guess that's just the nature of OSS. It always looked a bit shady and out-of-date, which probably hurts it's popularity.
- black_puppydog 7y agoWell, throw them a couple of bucks a month, they have a donation button on their homepage ;)
- st1ck 7y agoBut the design is fine, at least with dark theme. For me, the UX is better than Play Market.
- sundarurfriend 7y agoSomeone started a G-Droid project[1] with the goal of being a better local client for F-Droid. It's not a full replacement yet, but has many additional features and a better UI. Hope it takes off and perhaps gets integrated into the main client some day.
