If you choose "maximum quality" in the settings and the other user choses "balanced" and is on a metered data plan, then you will both get the "low" quality profile. Additionally, if a call is being relayed over Threema servers, because a direct connection cannot be established, then the max profile is also excluded. Only if both users choose "maximum quality" in the settings, and if the call takes place over a direct connection, then that profile will actually be used. That logic can be found here: https://github.com/threema-ch/threema-android/blob/c3eb92a10166a9912056cfcd8f81f4df9c07f835/app/src/main/java/ch/threema/app/voip/util/VoipVideoParams.java#L186-L231

It's one commit per version. Contributions go to a private email instead of a public mailing list. All development happens in private and pushed to the public in a version bump with no changelog.

So yeah it has an AGPL License (which is good) and meets the minimum of FOSS requirements, but it gives of the feeling that they're following the letter, but not the spirit of FOSS.

I would definitely not use it or push any friend to use it.

When you only want to access the files you could wait for the freemium cryptomator app for android: https://github.com/cryptomator/android/issues/428

You can install cryptomator by adding the following url in obtainium:https://github.com/cryptomator/android/releases/

Cryptomator (version 2772): Put a lock on your cloud: Take the security of your data into your own hands

Ah, I see what you're asking. They don't have any free trial features, especially for the Android app. You can try to compile the apk yourself though. I don't believe you need the license key if you compile the code. https://github.com/cryptomator/android

It sounds like you are mixing some terms up. Open Source Software does not mean free of charge. The source code is open, modifiable (and usually instructions are given to build it). However, there are some licenses for this software. Cryptomator's Android code is here: https://github.com/cryptomator/android and the license, what to do with this software is here (You obviously can't just stick a different logo on top and sell it as your product).

You mean this? https://github.com/cryptomator/android

Its tracked in Github

Yep, also want to point out the app is actually open source, the only reason it's paid on Google Play is so that you can support the devs: https://github.com/cryptomator/android
