I love Fdroid and the way it makes FOSS software more available.

I wish it was a bit more polished though. On my stock unrooted OnePlus6t there is no option for updating all possible apps at once.

Like if there are 3 apps to update it takes at least 6 clicks to update them.

That's being worked on actually and is already available in the F-Droid Basic Alpha: https://f-droid.org/en/packages/org.fdroid.basic/

Do note that the new APIs from Google require apps to take "ownership" of the update process of another app so if you update from another app then F-Droid Basic Alpha loses its ability to automatically update it until you manually update is from F-Droid Basic Alpha.

As you'd guess from the name, it's still an alpha, but from my experience it works pretty well. Bug reports are helpful, of course :)

Brilliant, that's great to hear.

The Neostore app (available on F-Droid) is a slightly improved front-end to F-Droid that smooths some of those rough edges.

Droidify is my go-to F-Droid frontend and it supports one-click updating of all apps without confirmation (most of the time).
