Cakewallet used a third party repository, it has never been on the main f-droid repository 3rd party repos can contain proprietary apps as well, like Accrescent

They had their own repository, but yes, I agree. Just shutting down a distribution method, because they didn't care enough to try to fix it, is bullshit. Monerujo It is nice, but it's not as good with accessibility, which is unfortunate for screen reader users, mysu Is not far enough along to be ready as a replacement for daily use, and stack duo has a shitcoin called bitcoin and bitcoin frost. Really, how hard is it to just get a Unix principle Monero wallet?

I've had problems with obtainium. Primarily, if there's multiple apps in a repository, it doesn't do a good job of distinguishing ones from the other. And quite frankly, it looks like crap compared to an app store. So the functionality just isn't as nice. With a proper app store you get the description and a nice install button and pictures and all that other good stuff where otherwise with obtainium you just get the download itself. It's just not nearly as user friendly, or at least it was not the last time I used it. It was a pain in the ass, although maybe it has improved since then. It also had some accessibility issues which made it harder for me to use it because I rely on a screen reader a lot.

From accrescent faq:

Do apps have to be open source?

"Apps do not need to be open-source to be submitted to Accrescent. Although open-source software provides additional transparency and can make it easier for users to check overall code quality, it is not inherently more secure or private than closed-source software. Likewise, proprietary software is not inherently less secure or private than open-source software. Since Accrescent is focused on security and privacy it wouldn't make sense for it to restrict developers to a specific source model.

However, Accrescent recognizes the benefits of open-source and so is open-source itself. In the future, apps in the store will additionally be able to be tagged as open-source and filtered for in the client."

Edit: That is concerning. But what is more concerning to me is the fact that they can pull apps for political reasons or because of government pressure or for any other damn reason they please. And this is not good with governments attacking privacy and becoming more authoritarian.

Swaps via Exolix. I use monerujo, but no thanks on that. Exolix is sketch af

I do already use monerujo. However, I don't trust the built-in swap functionality of the apps at all. I go to TrokaDoor, myself, and do the swap. Honestly, how hard is it to do a Monero wallet that only has Monero and doesn't have a bunch of extra crap like swaps built in? I don't want them. I stopped using cake wallet for a long time because they just had too much functionality and their app was huge. Their app has gotten less huge now which is better but they still have a ton of functionality in their app that I never use.

I completely agree. I no longer use cake as my daily driver. Instead I use Monfluo.

Never on the main repository know, but they had their own official repository.
