So I just updated Liftoff manually by downloading the APK from GitHub, however I feel like doing so isn’t the best way to keep the app updated outside of installing the app from the Play Store. I had heard of a way to keep it updated automatically with some app or service but I can’t remember the name. What is the best way to keep this app updated?
I use the droidify app. Which uses various f Droid and other repos to manage apps. Liftoff is available on the IzzyOnDroid repo https://apt.izzysoft.de/fdroid/index/apk/com.liftoffapp.liftoff
Droidify is available on F-Droid: https://f-droid.org/en/packages/com.looker.droidify/
How does Droidify compare with Obtainium?
Droidify is more like a really nice looking frontend alternative to F-Droid. But it also has other sources it pulls from like IzzyOnDroid and stuff like that. Obtanium can pull from F-Droid and IzzyOnDroid and such but you have to know what you’re looking for, there isn’t really any browsing aspect afaik. Obtanium can also pull directly from a GitHub page. (Droidify may also be able to do this by adding the repo to the sources but I haven’t tried)
Personally I use droidify for everything I can get on F-Droid and IzzyOnDroid and obtanium for the few things that just have a GitHub page
