App Lounge - inconsistency in apps' labels between categories and the app's description for Open Source apps

  • /e/ version: e-1.6-Q
  • Device model(s): Beryllium
  • Device rooted: no

Summary

Apps available from App Lounge are labeled (to what category they belong to - such as "Open Source", "internet", "health and fitness"). For now the labeling contains some incoherence for apps coming from F-Droid:

  • Upper and lower case Whereas in the category list at least the first word of the category has a capital letter, in the app description the name is entirely in lower case. So we have "internet" instead of "Internet" or "health and fitness" instead of "Health and Fitness".
  • Translation the labels for apps from F-Droid are not translated in the app description whereas they are in the category list
  • "unknown" Some apps are labeled "unknown" instead of being in the expected category
  • some apps are not in the expected category in the Categories tab and in the app description. For instance Organic Maps is in the Navigation category in F-Droid but not in our app.
