Aurora Store is way too unreliable and is nearly unusable. I have been using APKMirror so far and while it is okay, it is somewhat annoying that Obtainium can not directly download from there whereas it can with APKPure. I wanted to know the security level of APKPure in comparison to APKMirror.

    I had to just make a new burner google account for Aurora. The rate limiting on the anonymous account seems to always be hit when I try to use it.

      I would love to but you can’t even make a Google account anymore without giving out your phone number

        One trick is to have anold android phone. I created a couple of accounts last year without giving any personal data by using a device with android kitkat.

        APK Pure works well enough. Never run into scams etc so far, and it’s my main source for apps. I use that, and Mobilism for safety-checked mods.

        Have you tried lately? I do specifically remember them requiring it however the most recent one I made did not ask and it gave me a somewhat randomly generated email address. No recovery email or anything like that either could be a requirement if you’re on TOR or something though still maybe difficult to say when they require it
