 Description:
-F-droid is a... wait a minute. You're running it, how can you not know what
-it is?
+Connects to F-droid compatible repositories. The default repo is hosted at f-droid.org,
+which contains only bona fide FOSS.
+
+Android is open in the sense that you are free to install apks from anywhere you wish,
+but there are many good reasons for using a client/repository setup:
+
+* Be notified when updates are available
+* Keep track of older and beta versions
+* Filter apps that aren't compatible with the device
+* Find apps via categories and searchable descriptions
+* Access associated urls for donations, source code etc.
+* Stay safe by checking repo index signatures and apk hashes
+
+Please note that while the client itself is FOSS and well inspected by the public, the 
+apps themselves may not be. You install them at your own risk. By default, apps which
+may have undesirable behaviour i.e. anti-features, are hidden from view.
