Since this app updates so often and it takes so long for app stores to have the latest update available, it would make sense to have a link to Obtainium right next to the links for F-Droid, Google Play, and the GitHub release page. Slide for Lemmy does something similar, though it is arguably more important there, as the app is not available on any store yet.

How long is the typical delay between update submitted and being pushed to users?

[–] Vega@feddit.it 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It depend, usually fdroid need 2-4 more days to push an update

Is it even available on f-droid?

[–] SatyrSack@lemmy.one 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Not on the main F-Droid repo, but it is on IzzyOnDroid. Add this repo to your F-Droid client, and you will be able to search F-Droid to find Liftoff

Here is a previous thread on the subject of Obtainium that may answer your questions.

This particular question was answered about timely updates through Obtainium:

As for update notifications, you set the "Update Checking Interval" in the Obtainium settings (default is every 6 hours). So whenever a new APK gets added to an app's GitHub, Obtainium will notify you of it the next time it scans for updates.

Just last week, Obtainium gave me a Liftoff update, and when I checked the patch notes on GitHub, that update had been published literally an hour ago.
