#zipoapps — Public Fediverse posts

#TIL - more than a year after the fact - that just as I was considering that Simple Phone purchase, in 2023;

... Tibor Kaputa was preparing to sell the apps to ZipoApps, a company well know for buying up popular apps and enshittifying them with DataFarming, ads, etc, and sure enough;

I had noticed that the Simple apps I use hadn't been updated in F-Droid for a suspiciously long time, and now I know why.

#ZipoApps

so in case you missed it, #SimpleMobileTools, the excellent app suite for Android, has been sold to the predatory company #ZipoApps.

thankfully, Naveen Singh, the second biggest contributor to the project, created a fork of the project called #Fossify:

the Fossify suite should be released on Google Play and F-Droid soon enough. in the meantime the October versions from F-Droid should be perfectly safe to use.

Hace rato, no hago hilos, pero con el tsunami que produjo la venta de las aplicaciones de Simple Mobile Tools a la empresa israelí ZipoApps creo que es necesario para que los usuarios de apps SIMPLE sepan realmente como queda el tema y que pueden hacer al respecto.

Schlechte Nachricht. Schon einige Jahre nutze ich #SimpleMobileApps, hauptsächlich die Gallery-App. Zwar beziehe ich diese von F-Droid, doch habe ich im Google PlayStore die "Dankeschön"-App gekauft, um den Entwickler auch zu unterstützen. Nun hat #ZipoApps alles aufgekauft. Die haben einen schlechten Ruf, weil sie haufenweise Tracker und Werbung integrieren. Ein Enthusiast hat die ehemals #OpenSource Apps nun bei github geclont. Mal sehen, wie sich das entwickelt.

Simple Mobile Tools is the developer behind a suite of open source Android apps that live up to their name, with simple, ad-free user interfaces and features. Simple Voice Recorder has long been my go to recommendation for anyone looking for a no-nonsense way to record voice memos on an Android phone, and the developer also offers useful calendar, music player, […]
