Might just be me, or local to me (UK) but although I know 0.0.34 has been out on Fdroid for a while, I’m still not seeing it in the Play Store. Anyone know if it’s going to be there soon?

I appreciate that I can sideload, hut I’m thinking more of people who only discover it there and who won’t be getting the latest version.

    I don’t see it as well. Play Store usually takes time to distribute apps across different regions

      After a few days, I gave up and just installed from GitHub. I had to delete the old version, because I guess they have different certificates. But all I had to do was sign in again, and everything was back.

    I installed it via Droid-ify after the 2nd update, the play store is a bit too far behind considering the frequency of updates at the moment

      TIL Droid-ify exists. How does it compare to F-Droid?

        Theyre not even close. I only use Droid-ify. It also comes preloaded with most repositories, so you don’t have to install a bunch of them. The Droid-ify UI is clean and much easier to navigate than F-Droid.

        there are a lot of 3rd party fdroid clients - my favourite is neo store, but droid-ify and aurora droid are both good

        to be honest, i think the main client is almost (unnoficially) deprecated at this point

          Do you mean F-Droid? It still receives regular updates.

    Google always takes several days up to a few weeks to verify new releases. That’s nothing the devs can accelerate.

    What they could do is open a beta channel on google play and give users the option to opt in there; updates pushed to beta go through unchecked and as such in near real time.
