Neo Store is pretty good as well: https://github.com/NeoApplications/Neo-Store

Neo store casused my phone to hang while synchronizing repositories. Droidify didn't have this problem.

Give Droid-ify a try. At times it seems that the servers are being hammered and so things are slower, but they seldom ever fail.

Fdroid uses repository mirrors. The mirror used might have had an outage. Try turning off all mirrors except the official one and retry.

@0_o7 @debianastro Just retrying 15 seconds later (pull-to-refresh in Latest tab) will use a different mirror, no need to mess with them 😉
