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

Simple Mobile Tools got sold and probably will go the web extension way of scammers loading it up with malware to extract private info and sell it. Delete it now.
Seriously? I have so many of their apps. I had no idea.
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
Fossify Gallery and Files are already up on F-Droid!
This is perfect, also seems like some bugs present in one of the original apps has been fixed in the Fossify version - thank you for sharing!
Might you be able to post a Link to the F-droid version? I can't seem to find it there by simple search...
Gallery
File Manager
Calander
Note: I use droid-ify, another client for Fdroid, but personally prefer this one as I can easily add other necessary repositories that add even more apps to the store front. Droid-ify
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.
Just use the fork
Quick question, I've been using F-droid for like Spottube, I assume I should seek out Spottube for any future updates now correct?
Just use F-droid to update.
Fdroid does not guarantee the software is malware free. You still need to be able to trust the developer.

I dont know unfortunately
OP is searching for Fossify - the forked set of Simple's projects. That's the point of the post, I think.
Yup you're correct, didn't notice the search bar.
