Aurora store is doing bad lately I was wondering if there is an alternative client for play store.

I gave up when aurora stopped working one or two years ago. I just get 99% apps from fdroid. Hence, Google has little power on my device. That's enough for me.

It still works but not that well

I don't have a good answer, I recently switched back to the Play Store. Sometimes apps you wouldn't expect are open source and you can update via Obtanium so it doesn't hurt to check.

Sometimes I try to get my app just from any store as apk but the thing is I am always worried if it's not safe or not up to date.

I've tried getting the Aurora Store to work, but to no avail. I may need to source apk files on the apps that need updating.

It still works with me even tho with a lot of problems, it would be great if someone fixed it

I think I saw some activity on the Gitlab project page, so there's that.

@hexagonwin @connorx100 Da kann man auch zum jeweiligen Original gehen. Nur weil es apk-Apps sind, sind die nicht besser.

Oh I meant like, an official github repo. I wouldn't ever recommend getting an apk from some random site.
