Looks like another Exodus-like shitwallet. I'm sure it'll find customers though.
Can you really trust that big-tech isn't adding trackers or shady code to the app from their app store?
Not trust, but you can verify the checksum of the binary downloaded from store vs one published on github to detect any tampering.
Auto-update feature of app stores is not only convenient, but also important from security standpoint.
Do you really feel comfortable big-tech telling the government that you own bitcoin and use a bitcoin wallet on your phone?
If you're not using something like Graphene or Calyx, they might be reporting everything installed on your device anyway, regardless of where it came from.

Automatic updates can also backfire from a security standpoint though. Might be less of the case for something like a bitcoin hot wallet but in general, you don't want critical software to update automatically without you being there to test and verify that everything still works as expected.
While writing this, I noticed that bitcoin hot wallets might be considered critical software, too.

What's your experience with Bitcoin related apps on Graphene OS, I'm planning to move to GrapheneOS soon.
