Cromite (Bromite Fork with newer releases)The Izzy repo may be popular but with getting more than 1000 apps in that repo which are also in the main F-Droid repo I've been hesitant to add it. What happens when Izzy repo has a newer version than the F-Droid repo ? The main F-Droid repo goes for reproducible builds and checks for closed source software and more. Izzy repo downloads from the app upstream, does a malware check and that is all it seems.
All F-Droid Clients won't install the IzzyOnDroid version if you have the F-Droid one installed already because the signatures won't match, it's a basic Android security feature.
IzzyOnDroid is actually a bit stricter than that, see IzzySoft Fdroid Index Info & IzzySoft Fdroid Inclusion Policy.
I've been using Droidify. It supports background updates and has a nice UI.
It'll be nice if I can add an app to a wishlist.
Why? All the apps are free, just download the apps you want immediately.
I use my wishlists like bookmarks π¬
Yes, just as @acetanilide said. I use it as a wishlist so I can check it out later when I have time.
