@obscuracarl Hi there! Are you able to post the signing key hash for the .apk? It’s not been added to “Verified Apps” yet.

It’s too expensive I’m getting Nym maybe.

Are any of the mods able to summarize the main hurdles left for including Obscura in the recommendations? Is it mostly just that it’s a newer service?
