Updated to Material Design 3 and added Material You support
Added confirmation dialog for torrent force recheck
Removed the hide loading bar option; it's now enabled by default
Fixed incorrect torr...
qBitController is a free and open-source app for controlling qBittorrent from an Android device.
I would say VueTorrent has more features. Yet on Android as it’s not an app you can’t make it open magnet links or torrents when tapping / downloading one.
That would be great to have it as an app or to be able to turn it into a pwa.
The closest would be a folder, synchronized between phone and computer (e.g. using syncthing) where you save the torrent files. Then the client scans and automatically adds torrents from there. It will remove such files, so while at it, you should also configure to save completed torrent files somewhere. When possible, torrent files are a better option (they bring metadata, required if you ever wanted to re-share some content).
Potentially, but that doesn’t really matter, as you can match the signatures of the two versions and see that they are the same. You cannot fake that and have one version have different code, it’s not possible.
Even worse. Many apps have google signature instead of the developers. They upload their key and give it to google. Horrible practice.
Nowadays, fdroid gravitates towards reproducible builds with the dev’s own signature and google is going the other way round. Gravitating towards an unsafe “best practice” …

Awesome project! Thanks for advertising it
So this is just VueTorrent in an app

Play store link for those weary of installing random APKs
F-Droid link for those weary of installing from spyware app-stores
Thats not a random apk
I understand the developer may be known and trusted
But I do not have the expertise to do my own thorough code review
If that’s of your concern, you can’t download the play store version either. It is the same app, has the same signature.
as if the play store only contains safe APKs right?
Excuse my ignorance and correct me if I’m wrong
But does the play store not do some sort of scanning itself?

Thanks for the insight :)

What does Google play do to remediate it?
They do basic checking for known malware.
IzzyOnDroid link if you dont have the play store.
I wish there was a good free and open-source downloader with torrent support, like 1DM+.
