Better use something that will keep the apps up to date. Some recommend Obtanium, I don't like it, it's not user friendly/easy but I don't know any better alternatives.

Or the izzyondroid repo in fdroid, which is basically the same thing as this, but in fdroid: https://apt.izzysoft.de/fdroid/

If you go to download things on OpenAPK, there's literally a button to download it via Obtanium. It'll create a formatted JSON file to import into Obtanium to download the app.

I like Droid-ify. It's better than F-Droid and includes more repos per default.

Droid-ify to find the apps, then use obtainium to download them and keep updated

Yeah, that's the thing with unobtanium, it's clunky as hell, but it's really the only option for things that aren't in an fdroid repo directly.

If releases available, you can ask Izzy to include it in his repo, if it fits the inclusion policy: https://gitlab.com/IzzyOnDroid/repo/-/wikis/Inclusion%20Policy
