F-Droid Classic vs IzzyOnDroid (unofficial)
Side-by-side comparison of two open source alternatives
F-Droid Classic
This is an alternative F-Droid client which is based on the older UI of the official client (pre 1.0). While the new client UI looks pretty, it's sometimes a bit clunky. Lots of information that was provided clearly in the old UI is now not available or hidden behind more taps now. F-Droid Classic brings features of the modern 1.x version of F-Droid to the classic UI, this includes: * Index-v1 support * Inline changelog entries * Localized metadata * Screenshots * Donation links Upcoming features: * Better mirror support It doesn't support the following features and probably never will * Swap * Index-v0 (old xml based index) support * Support for Android < 4.4 Note: If you want beta updates you can enable the F-Droid Classic repo in the repo management screen. Releases will also usually be available there a few days before they make it into the main F-Droid repository.
IzzyOnDroid (unofficial)
IzzyOnDroid is an unofficial client for IzzyOnDroid F-Droid Repository. Features - Elegantly designed user interface. - Option to categorise applications. - Includes an in-built APK installer. - Update notification service. - Dark/light themes. - A lot more.
