We all saw in the news that Simple Mobile Tools got acquired by ZipoApps and they started filling up the free apps with ads.
Luckily, being those apps open source, a new fork has been created.
It’s called Fossify. They forked all the apps on GitHub and they have a new maintainer.
Now we just need to wait for their first official release and then… we need to spread the word and make people switch from the old SMT apps to Fossify!
If you got SMT from F-Droid you can go to
settings ---> manage installed appsscroll down to SMT and on each one tap it, then tap the 3 dots in the upper right corner, then check “ignore all updates”. This will keep you on the current version but you’ll be exposed should a vulnerability come to light down the line.
