The data is all client-side encrypted, so she doesn't collect any sensitive user data that could be sold or abused.
I've never used it, but I think the privacy-first mission is cool.
It's scary how many people don't immediately go for the open source alternative before checking the Google play store. Most people publishing on f-droid use their real name, have verifiable open source activity, have a professional reputation to maintain and have their apps open to world to be scrutinised.
Checking F-Droid should be your first choice everytime.
I fail to see how an app being on F-Droid inherently mean it’s going to be privacy-friendly.
That said basically everything benefits from the sun shining in on it. F-Droid alerts you to anything dodgy under the hood, has reproducible builds[1] and in general has none of the complete shitshow that is playstore.
In my 5EYES country Google's playstore has to secretly insert malware if the government wants it and there's no way for the end user to tell if that's the case.
Tell me a common use for a mobile app and we can compare what is available on both play store and f-droid.
Not wearing a seatbelt isn't perfect, and yet we all still do it :)

“ FertilityFriend.com is fully funded by its VIP service fees and has been so since we started. It does not rely on any type of data trading for any of its funding or any other purpose. In other words, you are not the product. Clear and straightforward, our charting service is what we sell and nothing else.”
They also have a more data driven approach to fertility than most other sources.

That foible stands out as humorous. Why does a solution to a problem need to be a smart phone app? lol
Otherwise excellent points.
> There is a secure app called garbage bin
hence calling out that it isn't.
(But sure, I actually am fine with non-app solutions when they're actually good)
