We all saw in the news that Simple Mobile Tools got acquired by ZipoApps and they started filling up the free apps with ads.
Luckily, being those apps open source, a new fork has been created.
It’s called Fossify. They forked all the apps on GitHub and they have a new maintainer.
Now we just need to wait for their first official release and then… we need to spread the word and make people switch from the old SMT apps to Fossify!
That’s an interesting question. For now, the apps on F-Droid are still safe, but we have to see.
The new owner could decide to pull them out of the store.
