I hope it can live on inside F-Droid somehow.

It can be hosted in any app store, but because it doesn't use the correct APIs - according to Google - it will not work on newer Android devices.

AFAIK, it's fine on later devices, but Google Play specifically restricts the permission which they need (`MANAGE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE`)
