Simple Mobile apps have been very popular among FOSS enthusiasts. I've personally been using the Gallery, Contacts and the Phone app since a few years now. It's a shame that it has come to this, will be on the lookout for their forks.

Damn it. There was a big extension that did this too. The first thing the guys did? implement a credentials stealer.

Time to disable auto update for these apps in the stores

This is why you should always install the F-Droid version whenever possible. They won't update just because upstream did without vetting it first.

Oh wow, they check every app's upgrades manually? That's dedication.
