According to the tracking scanner Exodus (can be found on F-Droid), which keeps an updated database on trackers and runs your installed app against its register, you can track what apps are tracking you and clues of how. Saw that Boost is tracking me and uninstalled it and went straight to Jerboa. Jerboa is pretty similar to good ole’ RedditIsFun-app and easy to use, so I am personally recommending it.

From F-Droid:

      And you didn’t read the prompt on launch of the free version that details the paid version doesn’t have any tracking and doesn’t even load those libraries, dumbfuck 🙄.

      Although judging by your twisting of words and presumptuous ignorance you have no interest in the truth. You’d most likely prefer to suck another app’s boots and shill for them through fucking lies.

        So its a lie to post the privacy policy and state what is in it? I wasn’t talking about the paid version (which is part of “opting out” i mentioned in my first comment) and I’m like 99% sure the guy I replied to wasn’t talking about the paid one when he said “it doesn’t”, but I could be wrong.

          Oh but they are lies. And you are being subvertive and obtuse. The things you’re listing are literally stated on launch when you open up the free app.

            OK. Not sure how being informed about the trackers make the trackers not in the free version of app. I haven’t said one untruthful thing and being informed of the tracking doesn’t change the fact that it does track you in the free version, same as Sync. People can feel however they want about it, but the tracking is a fact in the free versions.
