Pros

  • Obtainium: can install and update from fdroid+github+many other source
  • Obtainium: lets you install and update Android apps straight from GitHub
  • Obtainium is a suite to manage your sideloaded apps, with support for GitHub, GitLab, F-Droid, SourceHut, etc. You'll find it handy to update all of your apps in one place.
  • Obtainium - It fetches updates from app's source. Best example, I have apps directly downloaded from github, all I have to do is just add their repo in obtainium and it'll notify me when there is an update.
  • Obtainium - auto-update apps from github and other sources. Can't use my phone without it.

Cons

  • I use the regular version of obtainium, but to add apps you usually need the app's URL, for example on GitHub, or its name (although I haven't used this method). If you don't know what you need and just want to see what apps are availabl...
  • I guess it could be ok, but for apps that actually need updates faster than f-droid lets you (it's a bit slow) there are custom f-droid repos. For the most part, Android is not a platform where you get exciting new features with updates....

I use the regular version of obtainium, but to add apps you usually need the app's URL, for example on GitHub, or its name (although I haven't used this method). If you don't know what you need and just want to see what apps are available, this probably won't work.
