F-Droid is an installable catalogue of FOSS (Free and Open Source Software) applications for the Android platform. The client makes it easy to browse, install, and keep track of updates on your device.
It’s also a buggy piece of crap…
Update notification? Sweet! Gotta click it, right? Oh, some obscure error message that doesn’t let me update the apps. I guess I start the app itself then, right? Oh, it immediately crashed with an even more obscure error message. And what’s this? It shows me updates for apps that I have already removed. I wonder why? Maybe I should clean the cache and update the repositories. Huh? Oh, the update is stuck somewhere and doesn’t move forward anymore and now I can’t even search for anything.
I haven’t had any of that, but I do notice that F-Droid can’t seem to automatically update itself without erroring. Something about failing to parse the package; I forget the exact error message. I wonder what the problem is…

I never had any issues with it
Neostore may be a better client for you.
I’ve had tons of bugs with it as well. Still usable but annoying.
