Confirmation in linked github discussion.
Welp, time to start looking for alternatives…
Can’t blame the dev for wanting to cash out on his work, but I am not going to keep using apps that will get ridden with ads and trackers.
YOU Apps are quite good
The f-droid version should be ok for now, but if you installed this from the malware distribution channel aka the Playstore I would recommend to deinstall them before the next update hits.
One of the big contributors is forking the project.
Thy for the heads up.
Sad to see it go
This is some depressing news
:(
I understand the developer, but the complete lack of communication with the community is appalling. and even the subsequent app updates to ad-supported/tracker-packed versions is just disgusting. i understand why tibbi burned out, but the sale process was handled in extremely poor way
