I use F-Droid in place of the proprietary Google Play Store or services, and it's served me well for years now. If you're looking to move away from Google and its data-munching services to something more open, private and secure, F-Droid is a must.
It has many very useful and open source applications.
A dream come true! In an age of extensive data collection, having a library of privacy-respecting apps is invaluable. Before discovering F-Droid, finding open-source software for Android was challenging. Now, it’s easy, with everything in one place and a growing number of apps developed under this philosophy.
The only problem with F-Droid is that the app search is not very precise, and we can't use the Shizuki installer.
F-Droid's only shortcoming is its interface. Otherwise, it is a great app store for free and open source Android apps promoting privacy and mobile freedom. However, its interface is a bit outdated and plain compared to Google Play Store. It just shows app lists instead of app cards, categories etc. But despite the interface, F-Droid still succeeds well in providing free and open source apps. Only the design of the interface could be improved.
So the only "issue" to get to the amazing apps on F-Droid is its somewhat outdated-looking interface, which is acceptable.
You'll need this on your android phone
Great "alternative" to PlayStore, uncensored repository with lots of programs you can download, install and run on your mobile phone, tablet or any android device.
10/10 "right arm of the free world"
New phone? F-Droid!!!
First I usually start up the onboard chrome to get FDroid.
With F-Droid I get Aurora, Firefox and some others...
With Aurora all the rest.
IN YOUR FACE, Google!
