I'm pissed that I bought simple gallery pro because it respected my privacy, then because the dev sold his soul for a ton of money, it now rapes my privacy

The company loaded it with whatever spyware they wanted and pushed it in an update. Now the app is garbage.

Wait what? I have it too and see no changes at all. How does it spy since the app has 0 bytes of traffic (now blocked it to be safe)?

Same here, seems like the exact same thing I've used for a few years now.

Edit. Apparently the sale just happened last December. Some discussion here: https://github.com/SimpleMobileTools/General-Discussion/issues/241

This is the exact sort of reason I have automatic updates off.

Fossify gallery is a fork of it BTW, works and looks exactly the same. I swapped mine to it.

Sorry, I was not very clear. I was speaking generally about how this process works to demonstrate that it has nothing to do with app stores.

Btw since its sold you probably won't recieve foss updates(they will be proprietary). So there is this fork called Fossify. And you could export all data in your apps as backups and restore it to fossify
