IzzyOnDroid is a second shelf for F-Droid: a repository you add to it that serves around 1,400 more apps. They are official binaries built by the original developers, with extra screening.
IzzyOnDroid scores a 5 on footprint, lock-in and self-direction, a 4 on power and a 3 on longevity and delivery.
As far as we can tell it is run by one maintainer, so Longevity is a 3.
You add it once to the store you already use, and its apps appear in the same list.
- Adds more open source apps to F-Droid
- Apps are official builds from their developers
- Added to F-Droid as a separate repository
