      I agree that F-Droid is great!

      What I usually do is to buy the pro version on Google Play and install it later on F-Droid.

      On the other hand I don’t see anything wrong for non tech people to install FOSS apps from the Play Store. The apps are still FOSS

        Not exactly. When building for play store release - google injects their tracking into the binary.

          I think this is a myth. Android Studio or something allows to build it in, but Google doesnt automatically do that. Afaik

      Yeah. I usually go to the Playstore to buy out all the In-App purchases and support development, but this is really discouraging.

        True. But F-Droid has Donation links everywhere. I prefer that over buying, idk why.

        Oh, found out at least F-Droid Basic doesnt display the links! Thats not nice it has
