I thought so too but then they started to include a hidden data collecting in the stock operating system without notice or opt in/out.
I understand that its useful for debugging, statistics but it would legally require consent in the form of opt-in. It makes me sad that they take such shortcuts
Why not?
And, deducting what data a closed source app collects solely from the form is ambitious. 
Because the only that needs to be assured is that you can access and read the data protection policy, but there is no need to provide summaries of that on specific pages/forms.
Overall issues with that would need to addressed to FPs data protection office, Info’s in the data protection policy linked above or available on their home page.
Edit: I’m quite surprised that many feel that FPs mission/vision is data protection, because I have never seen specific statements on that. So can anyone share such?
Just to add, although I’m running FPOS on the FP3 I don’t see it on the Aurora Store, so would assume you need to have a Google account entered on the device to get an update or see it in the store and probably its really only available in Google Play Store.
Its not only about summaries, its about consent and transparency.
Looking at article 4 it is clear that the GDPR is needed for the app.
At least article 5 and 6 are violated in my opinion.
Edit: that is only for the app. the hidden data collection is way off the charts.
We’ve seen first hand, in real-time, the cost of intensive data extraction on our society. … it is up to each one of us to be vigilant about our own data.
There have been older blogposts about the need for fair software,
some of the goals they had have been scraped later as being to hard to archive.
This was from the FP2 time and FP has changed since then and that’s ok.
Its always a changing market.
They have made some great work, FPOOS, the work with F-droid, Jolla, Privacy Impact and more.
The recent developments that are criticized are maybe just rushed and not coordinated, that is why I think its fair and good to point it out to make it better.
Our ambitions for fair software
Fairphone’s high-level ambition for our phones’ software is to bring more fairness to software. To us, that means focusing on the following key principles: transparency, longevity and ownership. Transparency is about building trust with our community. Longevity means keeping the software up-to-date and secure long after the product was sold, and ownership is about putting the user in control over what happens on their phone.
Really like the idea behind the app. With everything fairphone related in one place.
Hope they will make a section for their podcast series in a future release.
For the last couple of days I haven’t been able to use the app on my Fairphone 3.
Every time I get a ‘Connection problem, Retry’. Hope they will fix this bug!
Thank you for the info 
. Will try what.
So you had the same problem on a Fairphone 4?
Yes, I’ve had the issue already multiple times.
Okay, let’s hope for a quick fix!!.
Followed your advice and now my app is working again 
.
I have to clear the cache at least once a week for the app to work. this is one of the worst performing apps i have had on my phone.
Just received an app update today.
The update should fix the no connection issue (hopefully) !.
alternativly create an automator script 
if (MONDAY) {
clearDataCacheBy("MyFairphoneApp");
}
Hi @donkeycave,
Good questions. We don’t commercialize or sell data to any 3rd parties. For a bit more detail, all information about data can be found in our privacy policy which you can access from the settings menu in the app. But to go back a step, the reason we’ve included a login is because the account allows users to transfer their CO2 usage and savings across devices. This is also needed to enable some of the more advanced features still in development, which will be made available to our customers in the coming months and years.
Hope this makes it a bit clearer, but please give me a shout if there are any other questions about the app. 
Hi @formerFP.Com.Manager, could you also say something about why the app does not work on /e/ or iodé? Most of the features should work there as well, shouldn’t they?
And the update doesn’t work on Aurora store. Only on Play Store…
@juri.gagarin.ii The app depends on some Google Play Service APIs, so the phone needs to have Google Play Services installed. So at moment it doesn’t work for other OS. This may change in the future, but we’ll let you know. @kristijan_tkalec I think this probably answers your question too. 
Hi @formerFP.Com.Manager , thanks for your quick reply.
I am still wondering why it won’t work on some other OS, as /e/ and iodé both implement microG and therefore (at least in theory) should be able to use Play Service APIs.
I do understand however, that LOS without microG won’t work if it depends on Google Play Services.
Anyone else having issues with the app? I can’t login, it always gives a notification that the email adress and password are wrong. And after that a “service unavailable” notification.
I’ve tried deleting cache and data but that doesn’t work
