F-Droid Classic vs Neo Store
Side-by-side comparison of two open source alternatives
F-Droid Classic
This is an alternative F-Droid client which is based on the older UI of the official client (pre 1.0). While the new client UI looks pretty, it's sometimes a bit clunky. Lots of information that was provided clearly in the old UI is now not available or hidden behind more taps now. F-Droid Classic brings features of the modern 1.x version of F-Droid to the classic UI, this includes: * Index-v1 support * Inline changelog entries * Localized metadata * Screenshots * Donation links Upcoming features: * Better mirror support It doesn't support the following features and probably never will * Swap * Index-v0 (old xml based index) support * Support for Android < 4.4 Note: If you want beta updates you can enable the F-Droid Classic repo in the repo management screen. Releases will also usually be available there a few days before they make it into the main F-Droid repository.
Neo Store
A feature-rich quick F-Droid client: * UX focused on empowering users * No cards or inappropriate animations * Fast repository syncing * Standard Android components and minimal dependencies A direct adaptation/modification of Foxy-Droid Copylefted libre software, licensed GPLv3+. \ Use, study, change, and share; with all.
