I has come to my attention that some users have never heard of F-droid. F-droid is a free software app store for android (f-droid.org)

What are the perks of using this vs. the standard F-Droid app?

More built-in repositories and a nicer UI.

Nice. I just decided to try it, and this seems really nice so far. The built-in repositories feature is really nice, especially for people who are just getting acquainted with F-Droid
