The official app should be good, but there's a decent collection of others that can do things better. If nothing else, they can make different tradeoffs, like only supporting new Android versions.
- internet_points 2y agoat least it's less annoying than Google Play :-)

- vrighter 2y agoThis is the one I use and has worked pretty much flawlessly since day 1. I highly recommend it. I don't even have the f-droid app itself installed anymore.
- crabbone 2y agoNot here, no. Updates don't work (a year-old Nokia). I used F-Droid to install Hacker's Keyboard and some FTP server. Both programs still work, but when F-Droid tries to upgrade anything it hangs for a while and then displays some error message. Well... I don't really care, as long as the programs I need sort of work.
- emaro 2y agoI checked the requirements and automatic updates are supported from F-Droid 1.19 and Android 12. However it sounds like you may have a different issue.
- crabbone 2y agoIt's definitely trying to update. But I'm no Android developer, so I never investigated the problem. And, frankly, if I will desperately need an upgrade, I'll just remove it and install it fresh. It's not a big deal.
