Their russian telegram channel has some opinions.
Besides a chemtrail conspiracy - reference there is a whoule channel for the ru-ukr war. I am unsure if it is in support of the war or not and translating it does not really clarify it (sentiment gets lost easily I guess).
Considering that, some clarification would be nice. Because I don’t think I would trust a software made by russian “patriots” (quote from the channel) in the current geopolitical landscape.
I didn’t check their Telegram. I just founded this on F-Droid and share it here.
Totally fair. I am just pointing it out here because it felt a bit icky when I saw it on the github page.
According to ExodusPrivacy on aurora store it has 2 trackers, cashlytic and firebase
Supposedly the version on Github releases doesn’t have the Google libraries.

Still, I would wait until this app is in F-Droid before considering it. It includes some other libraries of unknown source.
Opening the app for the first time on my Fairphone 5 (listed as unsupported) actually crashed the OS, but after that it seems to be working ok.
Closing out of the in-app gallery causes the app to crash. But that can easily be worked around by using some other gallery app.
I’ll be testing it for a bit to see how it fares against other HDR methods…
Same experience on my Fairphone 5, first crashed the OS when I tried accessing the gallery.
Now it is working but the pictures have like dead pixels on them.
It keeps asking me to allow it to connect to the internet. What for?
Most likely Google firebase and crashlytic.
Wtf is ApplicationDebuggable anti-feature?
It means it’s Debug Build. APK is signed by Build Key not Dev Key.
Ahh thanks!
It seems to work just fine on OnePlus 9 Pro but says “Warning unsupported device” when it starts.
which formats does it support?
Tried it on an older Pixel with GrapheneOS.
Can’t zoom, can’t switch to wide-angle lens. Camera does not balance brightness by the focus point. Otherwise pictures look pretty much the same.
I suppose this was made for specific devices in mind?
It does not work on my OnePlus 7 at all. If I zoom it crashes, and I have to clear the app data to get it to work again. And if I just take a normal photo it just crashes while processing.
