    Strange. I haven’t encountered any major quirks with it in my use. I’ve had app gave me trouble but it was because I had installed a pre-release version of the app by mistake, but once I installed the correct version, it was fine.

    I will say one criticism of Obtanium is that it’s easy to get rate limited if you use a VPN, which is really annoying.

      Yeah, that is just my experience and, of course, will vary with others depending on which apps you track with Obtainium, and maybe on which ROM you run.

      I still find a bit odd how some people want to avoid F-Droid, being a reputable source that checks for anti-features and builds from source to make sure the final apk matches with the published code.

      However, I am happy that there are several options to install and update FOSS apps in Android and derived ROMs: we can all choose what we prefer and have other options as backup.
