# Neo Store

6 Hacker News commenters recommended Neo Store and 2 criticized it, November 2025 to November 2026. It was recommended in 3 of 13 months.

**Verdict:** Android app store client that gives access to F-Droid and other repositories like IzzyOnDroid and Guardian Project, with no ads. Critics find the extra information clutters the interface.
