My experience with the iOS app store years ago was worse than Android. Searching for apps that were not chock full of spam was useless. I had to research the apps outside of the store then find direct links to them due to clones with the same names.

I have no idea why Apple and Google allow so much hot garbage in their app stores.

Those apps are installed in the squashfs image. Such images are write once, read many and thus they can’t be mutated at runtime.

Interesting. I wonder why Briar won’t have an iOS client?
