      Are they asking for money or a subscription? Are they serving ads? Are they selling users’ data to third parties? If all the answers are no, then no, it’s not an ad.

        Are they asking for money

        The text ends with an appeal to donate to KDE’s fund-raiser, so they are asking for money.

        Whether that makes it an advertisement and/or whether all advertisements are undesirable on a link-sharing board are independent questions. Personally, even if this is an advertisement by some reasonable definition, I did find it helpful enough and KDE got one conversion out of me because I downloaded one of their apps.

    The KDE Itinerary’s platform layout maps are a good sell. I’ll try it next to DB Navigator on my next trip. KDE Apps on Android are a bit unstable, at least on my phone, but at least now they load. Last time I tried I could barely get them to even do that.

    Looks cool!

    When trying to install this from F-Droid, I realized that it’s not in the standard repository. I wonder why? (This seems to be the case for some other KDE apps as well)
