Wow, I must have just snuck my install in...

Presumably this removal was accidental right?

Am I crazy? I'm not seeing "Organic Maps" on Fdroid at all. Do I need to add a specific repo?

Edit: Okay yes. I had to include 'other antifeatures' which it did warn me about. I hadn't adjusted that setting beyond the default and assumed I didn't need to go enable those things.

It's there for me. I'm using Droid-ify but it's the official repo.

I noticed the same thing. It might be hidden due to anti-features. I found it on NeoStore.

That just convinced me to download and try it lol

I've been using it for a good while and it's solid! I just wish I could integrate traffic updates, somehow

It was shared on the fediverse 2 days ago. Now, we get this. I don't want to assume malice, but something seems fishy.

Fortunately, it's still available on fdroid. 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.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 3 months ago (2 children)

There's sometimes third party repos that are updated faster. Or you can use obtainium and get updates straight from github.

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

[–] [email protected] 25 points 3 months ago (15 children)

Absolutely. Fdroid is awesome.

I hate the fact that there's no simple, free, ad-free note-taking app either inbuilt or on the app store. Just something simple and local to take a quick shopping list or a name or something like that. Fdroid has me covered for that.

I'd prefer local storage over cloud storage for quick silly things like that.
