Hi, thank you for this Database, been adding reports and find this project important! I think it would be useful to be able to filter through reports by device and SFOS version. Perhaps even set a preferred device that somehow sorts reports by relevance? This might not be super useful yet but ideally we want more reports right, even if they all say the same thing? Seeing more reports claiming something is working is reassuring, but this will create a mess down the line without any form of a filter.

I agree but I’m not sure that device is relevant.
It might be relevant. I had a situation with the local transport app Föli (Turku, Finland) that showed up in Aurora store as version 0 with 0 B size. Naturally the application would not be installed. The workaround (helpfully provided by lumen) was to spoof Aurora to believe I was on different hardware. When I selected Google Pixel 9a as the hardware in Aurora spoofing settings and restarted Aurora, the Föli app now showed up and I was able to install it.
Granted I don’t know if there is any difference between a Jolla and let’s say a Sony device since I only have the J2, but it might be relevant. Perhaps not that often however. It was the first time I have ever had to spoof Aurora.

On another topic, how is the native app rating calculated? At the moment Pure Maps has a Platinum rating when viewed as a native alternative to HERE WeGo while having only a Gold rating when viewed as a native alternative to Organic Maps.
EDIT: CoMaps also has Pure Maps as a native alternative, but it does not show any rating. That entry is very new however.
Feature idea: App request
I can imagine that in time quite a large group of people looking at the database are not going to be owners of SFOS devices, but rather people considering giving SFOS a chance and only checking in to see if important apps work (I know I checked this database before I had a device).
While I added reports for everything I had missed in the database, I think it would be nice to offer the possibility to request apps from the community. What do you guys think?

Adding an option for an app request sounds really nice, I would like to see it implemented as well!
I wanted to share my thoughts on countries filter. As far as I can see, many big non-EU countries are not there (yes, I know, Jolla doesn’t ship their phone outside of the EU, but still), but also many EU countries, like the Balkan and Baltic regions, are not there. Is there a possibility we can expect this to be changed? Thank you.
I can’t add Ironfox because is not in PlayStore or FDroid.

Add the Fdroid Repo for package sources
I know, but It doesn’t work here Submit New App - SailfishOS.app
Maybe I get it wrong, but you’re inflicting the Android Repo right into Fdroid
The thing is, how can I add Ironfox here Submit New App - SailfishOS.app ? 
Now I understand.
I can’t help with that.
