Not only is it opt in, it’s also running fully locally on your machine.

Yeah, maybe don’t do that.

I think it’s this bar in Newcastle, the logo is a match

It’s very depending on which apk you want

Interesting, I would have thought torrents would be better for older stuff due to their theoretically infinite retention.

DownOnSpot is the only one correct answer.

Edit: Zotify and Onthespot (which has a GUI) look good, as they too download straight from the source.
