Hello,

I downloaded SchildiChat to access matrix as their UI is more conveniant than Element. Exodus and TC slim however found "Google Admob" within the app.

As you can see on the screenshot. I asked developers about it, and they told me there's no trackers on the app.

Who's right, who's wrong ?

Thanks

Those are alternative stores ?

Indeed. They offer up the original .apks from their respective github sources, so generally don't include trackers etc as you'd find on the Google store versions, or even f-droid at times.

Obtanium is an app where you enter webpage links to github repositories. Its easy. Its just simple copy and paste. Then it downloads and installs it for you while constantly checking for new versions just like an app store. Its great for apps not on F-Droid.
