Is there a feature you’ve recently discovered in an app available on F-Droid that might not be obvious to casual users of the app? This is your chance to share it!

    Something I’d really like is a way to export a list of apps I have installed with FDroid so I can easily repkicate them to a new phone.

    As for hidden features, you can share APKs directly to another person using fdroid. It’s great for when your recipient doesn’t have fdroid

      I like that lot of the apps you can also export the app data so you can restore it on a new devices. I didn’t like that googles method was an all or nothing approach when it came to backing up apps, and didnt have offline back ups.

      Was one of the biggest reasons I started moving to foss alternatives.

      The Neo Store client for FDroid allows you to do this. I haven’t actually used the install feature yet, but it exports a list to an .aps file and says it will load and download the list (dependent on the repos you have activated.)
