Friendly heads up - Simple Mobile Tools was sold to ZipoApps¹, a company known for adding ads and privacy-invasive stuff. Their reputation is bad enough F-Droid preemptively turned off automatic updates², and the community has moved on to the Fossify organization, including Fossify Gallery³.

It's unfortunate folks didn't step up to help before the sale⁴, but ah well - progress has been made now.

👉 Popular #Android Simple Mobile Tools with apps like Simple Contacts, Simple File Manager etc. (#FOSS, GPL3 with paid Pro versions) have been sold to ZipoApps as confirmed by creator Tibor Kaputa on github. ZipoApps are known for "sourcing, buying, "evolving" apps - their words) - and monetizing them.

An 11-minute brisk walk every day could prevent one in 10 premature deaths worldwide, according to the largest ever study of its kind.

Their current products are the same kind of scamming based on shoddy engineering and false security claims. As you can see from their Twitter feed (https://twitter.com/MyntexInc), they have a long history of spreading misinformation about open source projects and claiming their faulty products are better...
