Neat idea. I’m going to watch how this develops but I don’t see it ever becoming much of a thing until there is iOS support. I’m not an iPhone user. Just realistic.
Third party frontends of all kinds are forbidden on the Play and App store but we Android users have F-Droid and if the license is changed at some point (it’s supposed to be temporary as far as I understand) it will probably land there, till then Obtanium is probably your best bet I guess.
Very interesting, I doubt it’s going to stay there long because this is literally the first third party frontend of all kinds I as privacy enthusiast have ever seen accepted and I really wonder how they did that!
Wild, so understandably android is a much greater share, given the wide variety of phones it can run on… I’m guessing iOS is a favored app market because it’s more monolithic or stable? Or put another way the android share is fragmented all over the place?

It is on the Google Play Store.

Almost no third party frontend supports iOS because of their absolutely shitty sideloading limitations and they still work great…
This is something I always wonder about—is there a good source for realistic market share of mobile os?
There you go.

These could be a mix of smart watches, cheap phones, and maybe house appliances like smart TVs.

Mainly just the USA from looking at that really.
