I’m pissed that I bought simple gallery pro because it respected my privacy, then because the dev sold his soul for a ton of money, it now rapes my privacy

It has nothing to do with third party app stores.
Someone made an app that was genuinely very good. Then a company wanted to buy the app. The developer sold the app. The company loaded it with whatever spyware they wanted and pushed it in an update.
Now the app is garbage. Sadly it happens all the time. It happened to me right after I bought a year subscription to private internet access.
But to be clear this can happen on any platform or App Store official or not.
Wait what? I have it too and see no changes at all. How does it spy since the app has 0 bytes of traffic (now blocked it to be safe)?
Same here, seems like the exact same thing I’ve used for a few years now.
Edit. Apparently the sale just happened last December. Some discussion here: https://github.com/SimpleMobileTools/General-Discussion/issues/241
This is the exact sort of reason I have automatic updates off.
Fossify gallery is a fork of it BTW, works and looks exactly the same. I swapped mine to it.
This is Google Play Store you dingus
