Since v1.6, Obtainium has switched to using Material 3 Expressive for its UI.

Personally, I don’t like it as it uses up more space to show less information. The old UI (v1.5 and below) had everything visible and was easy to navigate.

But what do you think? Do you like it? What would you want improved or changed?

      I don’t know as I’ve never used ObtainX, but from screenshots I saw its F-Droid page, it looks similar. I wished they kept the previous UI or at least an option to switch back.

      Interesting

      Build Verification* — cryptographic checks (F-Droid/Izzy reproducible builds and GitHub Release Attestations) flag manipulated binaries before install. ObtainX’s own updates carry GitHub attestations too

      Although some of the options, as a guess, seem to use AI (?).

      Seems like a win though if thw dev can be trusted.

      Somewhat but also not. I tried ObtainX when obtainium was still using the old UI and I got along fine on obtainx. Obtainx does use more of the expressive material design language but it makes sense to me

      But somehow when obtainium changed to this new UI I just can’t get my head around it. So weird.
