According to the tracking scanner Exodus (can be found on F-Droid), which keeps an updated database on trackers and runs your installed app against its register, you can track what apps are tracking you and clues of how. Saw that Boost is tracking me and uninstalled it and went straight to Jerboa. Jerboa is pretty similar to good ole’ RedditIsFun-app and easy to use, so I am personally recommending it.

From F-Droid:

      I too use it, I was curious as well and it seems (having installed duckduckgo because of another comment on this post) that there is tracking.

      Given lack on maint I guess will look elsewhere regardless

      For what I can see, no. At least, not more than normal apps. A lot of apps comes up with the blocking tracking attempts (duckduckgo) by the company Google. Google is the only one with sync.

      Judging by the fact that the dev hasn’t bothered to do anything with it in months, I doubt that it matters.
