   PSA for Android users: Uninstall Simple Mobile Tools apps!

   The developer of Simple Mobile Tools, an Android app suite which has been historically well respected in the FOSS space, has sold their apps to a company called ZipoApps, a company that buys apps from independent developers to add advertisements and trackers to them. I highly suggest uninstalling any of the Simple Mobile Tools apps you have on your device and looking for alternatives.

     @mjdxp Also note that they have been forked as Fossify, so you can switch from Simple X to Fossify X without noticing any difference, except the color
