Hi， there. Thanks for developing such a nice software. Although it is good, I believe it is practically not accessible by many people because you only provide a google play publishment for installation.
For your information, in countries including China, google doesn't provide its service and thus mobile phone manufacturer never includes Google Play and Google Framework in the phone.In fact, they are not actually parts of the Android system. They are bunbled in some mobile phone where google provides service, which makes a illusion that google play is the only way to publish and download the apks.
As this is a libre/open source software, I sincerely suggest you to make a release on Fdroid, which is a popular open source apk platform for open source software. Or, why not just include the apk in your github release?
As for me, I am a Chinese and I've tried a couple of ways to use google play, only found it in vain. I think it is inconvenient having to use my Android Studio to compile the source merely in order to install an app on my phone. Therefore, I would appreciate it if you could add this to Fdroid, github release, Xiaomi Software Store, Huawei Software Gallery, Baidu Software Store, or Tecent App center.
