You asked yourself of any side-effects the additional APK-checks at apt.izzysoft.de/fdroid might have? Let me show you one. Not all #apps have that yet, but it will be added one-by-one in the #IzzySoftRepo

When the scanner highlights some sensitive #permissions, they are checked for whether they are justified (I reach out to the corresponding devs where unsure). Those are then added to the app's allow-list, with an explanation. So why not make that explanation visible to you? That's done now:

screenshot from the details page of an app at the IzzyOnDroid repo, having its permission list expanded. Next to sensitive permissions there's a short description shown of what the app needs those for. In the screenshot, it's an SMS/MMS messaging app, and e.g. explained it needs the READ_PHONE_STATE permission for things like subscription info (SIM cards) – which is what its developers explained.
