This application uses trackers (HockeyApp & Google Firebase Analytics) - and a password manager should not use them, especially if they are advertised with security and privacy.

Why is the version on F-Droid different?

We use HockeyApp for crash reporting and Firebase messaging for push notifications to keep your vault in sync. If you don't want those features, you can use the F-Droid build.

Why don't just add an opt-out feature?
Does the iOS version features these trackers?
