App Lounge fails to install applications

[yaslam]

Hi everyone. I recently installed /e/os on my A52s 5G and it is a fantastic experience.

But App Lounge fails to install anything, I cleared cache and data, signed out and signed back in, disabled the blocking of app trackers, and it still fails to install applications.

Any idea how to fix it?

FDroid, Aurora Store work perfectly and I am able to install apps using either.

Thanks

Then keep Aurora Store and the F-Droid Client, AppLounge is not perfect. I didn’t use it that often but for other reasons I switched away from it.

I am okay with it not being perfect. But for an app store I believe the basic functionality of installing applications should work.

I agree. Here is someone else with a similar problem:

VLC fail to instal

Hello there, I’m on CMF-1 with a fresh official install up to date. I was trying to install VLC all this week without successful, i’m alone with that ? VLC is downloading without trouble (from f-droid). but the install fail dunno why. it’s with App Lounge 2.13.5 I already did : Log out and log in to your account via the settings in App Lounge. and Clear App Lounge’s data by navigating to Settings > Apps > App Lounge > Storage & cache > Clear storage. Cause i try to keep something simple…

Maybe it helps…

F-Droid and Aurora. You won’t be missing anything running those store apps. Aurora is pretty darn reliable and F-Droid picks up the open source apps that may not be available in the Google store.

The one thing App Lounge does the others don’t is provide tracker info in the app listings. However App Lounge can have reliability issues. App Lounge is a great idea, but it’s just not solid at this point.

As well as being reliable, Aurora has another advantage over App Lounge. With a Google login and a payment method set up on the account, Aurora can buy apps at the Google store. App Lounge can only handle free apps.
