Something wrong?
Wrong devices, a wrong description, or it isn't really open source? A mod reviews every suggestion.
What we couldn't confirm2
- Whether Obtainium offers a browsing catalog like a traditional app store, since the README only describes installing from known sources.
- Whether app updates are checked and installed without user action beyond what the README states.
