  • I downloaded Flicky:

    • Good: More usable on fire TV compared to F-Droid Classic
    • bad: Flicky does not have the “installed” list to keep track of downloaded apps

    And checking the settings i discovered security issues:

    • TLS verification was OFF by default
    • several third party repositories are enabled by default which are outside the F-Droid community






















  • When it comes to open source software, in my opinion its a good thing when all individous people from all of the world can use and participate. Sometimes free software is the only chance for people to sustain against repressive governments.

    As the app is free and open source the community can easily review the software functionality and detect malicious behaviour. Also the app is free, so no money need to go from you to anybody.

    Nevertheless I think its good that you are doubtful and share your doubts in public. Thanks for your opinion.
