    3 internal database on appverifier show wrong SHA.
  3. GitHub download section also have wrong SHA keys.
    Although correct SHA is here

Hi JunkFood02,

First, I wanted to thank you for creating such a nice app! I really appreciate the clean, modern, and minimalist design. It is exactly what I was looking for.

I'm planning to install your app through Obtainium and use AppVerifier to verify the SHA for security purposes. Publishing SHA hashes has become a standard practice in the community to help users verify app integrity. There's even a new project that's started building a database of SHA apps to help with this: https://discuss.privacyguides.net/t/verified-apps-app-for-android-pre-release/38348

• Could you please provide the SHA that is correct and in case this is deliberate, could you explain why mismatch SHA.

Since I'm here, I also would like to ask you how revert all or some feed us unread so I could take a look again?
Is there a shortcut or some other means of selecting feeds.

Thank you for your time, and keep up the great work!

Best regards. Pale

Research direction

Start by comparing the downloaded RSS APK and the SHA values shown by AppVerifier, the GitHub download section, and the linked issue #1219. Determine which published hash is authoritative and whether the release metadata needs correction; done means the reported SHA values agree and the source of any mismatch is documented.
