What's New
New Features
Apps with video trailers will now show a widget to play the trailer on the app detail screen. This will help users get a better idea of the app before downloading it.
Analytics! I have added analytics to the app to help me understand how users are using the app. This will help me make better decisions about future updates and improvements. The analytics data is anonymous and does not contain any personally identifiable information. You can opt-out of analytics in the settings screen.
Added support for Turkish(tr) Language
Added support for Italian(it) Language
Improvements
Fixed false update notifications for some users. This was caused by a bug in the update checking logic. I have fixed it and now you should only receive update notifications when there is actually an update available.
Redesigned app detail screen for better usability.
Added tabs for multi-repo versions in App detail screen. This will make it easier to navigate through different versions of an app from different repositories.
Unfocus search and hide keyboard on app tap
Added Lazy-load repo apps and DB-only lookups for better performance and reduced memory usage.
Enhanced onboarding flow: setup types & repos. The onboarding flow has been improved to make it easier for new users to set up the app and get started. You can now choose your setup type (basic or advanced) and select the repositories you want to enable during the onboarding process.
Allow users to add custom repositories while onboarding.

Permissions
Florid uses the following Android permissions for core functionality:
- INTERNET: Access the F‑Droid repository and app metadata
- REQUEST_INSTALL_PACKAGES: Install downloaded APKs
- POST_NOTIFICATIONS (Android 13+): Show download notifications
- QUERY_ALL_PACKAGES: Detect installed apps to surface available updates
- Storage access: APK files are stored in the app’s external Downloads dir; on Android 13+ this typically works without the legacy storage permission
Actual permissions are declared in the Android manifest and requested at runtime where required.
