minus-squaretom42 ( tom42@beehaw.org ) deleted by creatorlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·3 years agoI 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
