Installing through F-Droid is way easier tho and the IzzyOnDroid repo actually uses the binaries from the developer

Though, last I checked, IzzyOnDroid does warn that they usually only host things not found on F-droid. Once something they host gets included in F-droid it's often removed from IzzyOnDroid without warning.

You could use Droid-ify and have the best of both worlds

I don't know if you didn't understand their comment or if Droidify has a feature I didn't knew about.

Droid-ify offers apps from different repositories so you can have Izzyondroid and F-droid at the same time. It also scans for updates and does auto-updates if possible.

Yeah I know about that but what has that to do with IzziOnDroid apps which pulls the apps from GitHub being removed after they've been added to the official Fdroid repo

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Apparently it seems that I don't get it indeed.

I said Droid-ify is a 'best of both worlds because it offers the easy of use of F-droid but also pulls from IzzyOnDroid/GitHub.

If an app is added to the official Fdroid repo, it's removed from IzzyOnDroid after a while. Not the case with every app, but this might happen. Now you have to use the Fdroid version
