Installing through F-Droid is way easier tho and the IzzyOnDroid repo actually uses the binaries from the developer
Though, last I checked, IzzyOnDroid does warn that they usually only host things not found on F-droid. Once something they host gets included in F-droid it's often removed from IzzyOnDroid without warning.
You could use Droid-ify and have the best of both worlds
I don't know if you didn't understand their comment or if Droidify has a feature I didn't knew about.
Droid-ify offers apps from different repositories so you can have Izzyondroid and F-droid at the same time. It also scans for updates and does auto-updates if possible.
Yeah I know about that but what has that to do with IzziOnDroid apps which pulls the apps from GitHub being removed after they've been added to the official Fdroid repo
Apparently it seems that I don't get it indeed.
I said Droid-ify is a 'best of both worlds because it offers the easy of use of F-droid but also pulls from IzzyOnDroid/GitHub.
If an app is added to the official Fdroid repo, it's removed from IzzyOnDroid after a while. Not the case with every app, but this might happen. Now you have to use the Fdroid version
