I've been looking into f droid and there's typically pros and cons to everything and one thing I learned was if it's to good to be true then it probably is, how can apps like Apollo have free music, some with free movies, free services, ect... I mean what are they getting out of it? And what security downsides/risks are there... I mean all this FOSS stuff is cool and all but you're downloading an unknown app from a random developer and it just makes me feel a bit uneasy so I guess what I'm looking for Is assurance and to understand the pros and cons
