I’m pissed that I bought simple gallery pro because it respected my privacy, then because the dev sold his soul for a ton of money, it now rapes my privacy

      That’s so annoying - I have a ton of their apps too!

      Looks like I’ll be staying on these ancient F-Droid versions for a while until a replacement shows up… but ugh I am so annoyed. Files, Draw, and the gallery in particular that allowed you to resize (strips EXIF data), crop and do all sorts was so handy

      It was bought by zipoapps or so and they might release ad infested versions. Fossify is the fork of all simple mobile tools

        Oh thank you! Looks like they’re easy to find on F-Droid, so this should be a fairly painless transition

      It was bought out by ZippoApps, which is notorious for buying popular apps, loading them with adware/spyware, then abandoning them once all the users eventually flee.

      Go look at the added permissions that the new versions require. You’re basically handing them an image of your entire phone.
