Is Xmanager a Scam? (lemmyonline.com)

So, I've heard about XManager for a little while and just finally decided to try it, and...

So just level with me, is this thing an advertising scam? When I tap on a version and choose download, an ad appears, I wait for it's timer to finish, close it and... Nothing happens. It never downloads anything, just serves ad after ad.

Edit: So, after disabling ads and trying again several more times, I was able to download and install.

It's not a scam. It just has issues compiling the APK on certain phones, like Xiaomi. They have a Telegram group to download precompiled APKs without the need for xManager.

Xmanager doesn't compile the apk. I downloads the same files you have on telegram.

The main advantage of it over manually downloading the files is somewhat easier usage and update notifications.
