Android App Search Strategies? (beehaw.org)

I have been noticing that Google Play is overrun with adware, trialware, and freemium kinds of apps. Really hard to find FOSS and truly free apps.

Curious about best strategies to sort though Google Pay. I typically start with F-Droid and AlternativeTo to find apps then try to find them on Play.

Ideas?

add izzyondroid repo to fdroid, there's much more interesting stuff

How do you do that? I downloaded izzyondroid but not sure what adding the repo to fdroid means

In f-droid settings under 'Repositories' you can add the izzyondroid repository url (just search for it online) this allows all the apps under it's umbrella to be accessed through f-droid
