Whats wrong with fdroid? Glorified apk installer. Ye...es? What else should an app store do?
fundamentally, it's an app doing something the platform it's built on doesn't allow it to do, nor was it designed for.
In terms of the app, it's literally a shoehorned app store, and it's somehow better than the play store. How do you fuck up the playstore that badly? The bar is so low that a software repository that "technically" works is literally the bare minimum. Most of that is arguably the fault of android, because it's the single worst operating system in the world, apparently.
