Droid-ify is what I use, but there are others. Many include/allow other FOSS repos and have additional useful features. permalink fedilink source parent [–] non_burglar@lemmy.world 0 points 6 days ago (3 children) The repo, yes.

Sometimes you have to trigger the update process manually, but the apps all get updated. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] non_burglar@lemmy.world 1 point 6 days ago Ah, that makes sense.
