    This is one of the reasons you should get your apps from fdroid instead of play store.

    yes, but getting updates weeks later isn’t for everyone.

        Downloading from github defeats the whole point of getting free software. Fdroid builds are guaranteed to not include any non-free components. The same is not true for github builds.

          It’s still a better option than using the Play store if you really need a newer build, but yeah, not my first choice.

      Yeah, updates can be a tad slow. For fast moving apps like newpipe its understandable. For regular apps it should be fine.
