    Good place to find software that won't track you and won't clutter up your phone with ads.

    The best FOSS alternative to the Malware Play store. Other alternatives host proprietary content, and track you.

    F-Droid is a fantastic FOSS app store. However, it isn't good as a REPLACEMENT for the Google Play Store as it doesn't allow you to install Google Play Store apps by default.

    It has all the apps that are relevant on the Google play store along with a ton of cracked apps and not as popular apps as well.This alternative is way better than the Google play store and they also check every app for virus'
