Found it more stable and the UI looks a little better, imo.

I haven't heard of Aurora before. I'm guessing it's similar to F-Droid? Just extract and install the APK?

It's a wrapper over Google Play not F-Droid. Much nicer interface, you can filter for things like ads/paid/GSF, you can bypass some regional blocks, you can login with Google accounts or use it anonymously etc.

Its only recommended that you use a throw away Google account for paid apps on Aurora. So I've been told.

Never happened to me, but technically your account can get banned using Aurora since it's against the TOS. Also i mostly use aurora for privacy, so an different account only to download apps is a good idea. (Ideally you should even use the anonymous feature, but i had some stability problems with that so i switched to a throwaway account)

Thanks for the responses! I'll look more into it over the weekend!
