A post about #F_Droid repository clients for those not in the know:

• The official #F_Droid app:
The design is clearly outdated, heavily loads the phone, after 7 included repositories starts to crash and heavily load the phone up to a complete freeze of all systems

• The same applies to the #F_Droid_Classic

#G_Droid, has similar problems

#DefO_ECH_Apps, I don't know why this fork exists ¯\_ (ツ) _/¯. Same problems

#Aurora_Droid, after 5 included repositories, stops syncing them normally and crashes. The client does not update

#M_Droid, a bunch of bugs, does not update

#Droid_ify / #Neo_Store, unofficial clients for F-Droid with a material design. These programs from different people, but they are completely identical and only differ slightly in design (and bugs)

#Foxy_Droid, I personally recommend using this particular client because, despite the lack of updates, it:

1. The fastest client. I have 20+ repositories and there is not even the slightest hangs
2. The cleanest client, and in terms of interface, it is just the most simple and understandable, and in terms of bugs, I have not found a single bug during all time working with it
3. Synchronization of repositories is very fast (even faster than its forks).

All applications can be found in official F-Droid app or in the repository IzzyOnDroid



That's all, thank you all :)
