If you use Android, do you use the @fdroidorg app store?

If not, I'd love to hear why not, whatever the reason(s) might be.

@neil @fdroidorg

Ok so, skimming the replies, given the amount of time since your original post - I'm really surprised to see no mention of not using FDROID due to their security model - with FDroid signing APKs, instead of the authors....

That's why I explicitly choose to not use it, and instead I use obtanium, and if not then PlayStore/Aurora Store.

@TheDragon Many apps are built reproducible and signed by the developer, about 20% by now. While we push for this at inclusion for new apps, it's hard to switch older apps as the Android security model usually requires a reinstall. Guess how many users read our TWIF and like to reinstall? 🙄

@fdroidorg @TheDragon Have you considered adding notifications/badges/whatever inside F-Droid when a reproducible version of an installed app becomes available? I would reinstall if notified, but I rarely read TWIF.
