Yeah I wondered why anyone would ever install such a simple utility app from the app store. It's something that needs to be developed once and then only receive minimal maintenance which means the usual individual maintainer scratching his itch and sharing the result model works well but it also processes intentionally sensitive data meaning developers might be tempted to monetize that in some way. The curated open source distribution model of F-Droid is the perfect solution to this.
