@Zapstore is fantastic, and to me the most important app in the android ecosystem. Zapstore combined with @GrapheneOS makes me feel like I own my phone again.

I also recently discovered Zapstore. The UX is great, I didn't even try out Obtainium.

Zapstore apps are authenticated by the developer and source verifiable. Google's process is less secure because apps are not independently verifiable.

Zapstore refused to install since hashes don't match (which is great!). You can be confident what you're downloading is legitimate.

All apps on Zapstore are signed with Nostr keys. This allows you to be very confident that what you are downloading is the legitimate app.

One of the underrated features of Zapstore is that regular users can sign and recommend the application of another developer.

Play Store doesn't use Nostr private keys for signing, while Zapstore does.
