Android itself is open in the sense that you are free to install APKs from anywhere you wish, but there are many good reasons for using F-Droid as your libre software app manager:
- Get notified when updates are available
- Optionally download and install updates automatically
- Keep track of older and beta versions
- Filter out apps incompatible with the device
- Find apps via categories and searchable descriptions
- Access associated URLs for donations, source code etc.
- Stay safe by checking repo index signatures and APK hashes
