Verifying the blob hash is an extra step, and I don't know how, on my phone at least. Fdroid does all that stuff for you. That's why people like it.

And how did you verify that you have the right F-Droid?
People like Zapstore because it does all that stuff for them, too 😉
I know, but the fewer sources you trust the better.
This is just a suggestion. I think you'll get more downloads if you're on fdroid. And even more if you're on Google Play store. It's up to you.
Absolutely, I agree with you. However F-Droid is a tricky one. They build AND host packages themselves, and they had security issues. Way too much trust placed in them. The only way that makes sense to use F-Droid is with reproduceable builds.
All the open source projects are on both stores. Just saying.
