[–] dan1101@lemmy.world 20 points 11 hours ago (2 children) This is what I'm running into trying to deGoogle, a lot of apps seem to just be on Google Play or a sketchy APK mirror site. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] TWeaK@lemmy.today 10 points 11 hours ago* (2 children) Aurora Store is good enough for most. It's still on Google Play, but you're not using the Google Play app and you can even pick which version and see an Exodus tracking report before you download. Rather than finding the same app elsewhere, though, you should be looking for alternative apps on FDroid and the like. Unfortunately though FDroid is terrible for searching for apps, you just kind of have to "know" about the app you're looking for first, somehow.. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] RogueBanana@piefed.zip 6 points 11 hours ago (1 child) I would recommend a different front end for fdroid repo like droidify, neo store etc. I haven't used official fdroid app in ages but the 2 above are pretty good. Has many categories to choose from and search works fairly decent as well. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] gegil@sopuli.xyz 5 points 10 hours ago Neo store uses absurdly high amount of system resources. The app itself is laggy, and its quite heavy in background. Droidify is very lightweight compared to neo store. permalink fedilink source parent [–] dan1101@lemmy.world 2 points 9 hours ago (1 child) I have F-Droid and it's good. I tried Aurora Store but it didn't seem to have a search function, just lists of a few apps from random categories. Almost reminded me of browsing Netflix. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] exu@feditown.com 1 point 7 hours ago It does have search permalink fedilink source parent [–] gegil@sopuli.xyz 4 points 11 hours ago* The easiest solutions which work for me is to use open source alternatives, which can be downloaded directly from developer, use web version of the app, like i do with google documents, or pirate it if it is not available in your region of the store. permalink fedilink source parent
