lovefromisrael i use a lot of his apps from fdroid. is that safe?
To be fair, Tibor's original apps (SimpleMobileTools) are only unsafe to use if you've installed them from Google Play, as that is where they are continuing to be updated by ZipoApps and are riddled with ads. The apps from Github / Fdroid are still "fine".
But there isn't really a reason to still use the SimpleMobileTool apps (from Fdroid) though, as you can get new features and things from the Fossify apps instead (Fossify are developed by Naveen who was involved with SimpleMobileTools by the way).
ILIKETRAINS I personally also use some of the "fossify" apps - but only those that can be used local without any connection.
Are there any Fossify apps that have network connection?
I'm sure someone will/can link the blog post about that topic.
