Aurora Store Purchase

I was looking to download Simple Calendar from the Aurora Store. I wanted to support the developer and pay for the app.

Is it safe to do that through the Aurora Store?
Does the Aurora store manage updates?
What would the impact on my privacy be if I did this via credit card?
Is there a better way to accomplish this?

I'm always grateful for the communities wisdom and help!

I never heard of Aurora supporting that. I wouldn't let them handle my money if they do. You can update apps using Aurora though. I don't know if it can do it in the background though.

Here's the simple mobile tools website page on donating https://www.simplemobiletools.com/donate

His entire suite of Simple apps are on F-Droid as well as Google Play Store.

The key app to look for is "Simple Thank You," which is what you'd purchase from the Google Play Store, but on F-Droid, it's free as thanks for supporting his apps.

On a separate note, when I signed into the Google Play Store with my Play Store account through Aurora, I chose to install an app that I had purchased many years ago. While Aurora reported that the App cost $3.99, it allowed me to download and install it without issue.

I have not attempted to purchase other Apps through Aurora, so I'm not sure if you can.
