why is that not on the official repo, do you know the criteria?

also do you have recommendations for good apps that might not be on official repos?

I found an explanation here. They're deliberately not including it in the main f-droid repository for security reasons.

I think it's extremely unlikely that there's a reason other than what they've stated here, but at the same time this isn't so important to me that I'm willing to begin making exceptions to my policy against installing any software that doesn't make it into official f-droid.
