I have used it for maybe a year and I never had any problems. Then again, I'm hardly a power user, so it makes sense that other people might have different experiences. :)

I really like that they add more repos you just need to enable. Number 1 reason to use it, as F-Droid will never add those for obvious reasons.

Some that I cant live without

  • Izzyondroid
  • Guardian Project
  • Collabora office
  • signal foss twinhelix
  • molly
  • futo
  • simplex chat
  • Cryptomator
  • Mobilsicher (proprietary German apps that are core infrastructure. They ask those developers if they can get the APKs)
  • (Bitwarden) (dont use it)
  • Julians Repo: nice to get GrapheneOS app updates, but you should install their appstore instead.

Tried it, it was at least back then not scaleable. Not every Dev publishes precompiled APKs, that is actually not something regular because F-Droid and IzzyOnDroid exist.

So in the end I had 8 or more of my favourite Apps still F-Droid only, and when adding all those sources some barely worked and in the end Obtainium didnt load anymore.

Does it autoremove APK files? Otherwise its just a fancy Feed Reader, I use Feeder for the few Apps that are Git* releases only
