Currently it supports AppImage, but Flatpak version will possibly be available in future: https://github.com/iDescriptor/iDescriptor/issues/1

Switching phones isn’t necessarily easy or doable for everyone. I’ve got my device already, I appreciate this new app since it’s usable without me spending more money or changing everything about my mobile device.
Of course, in fact you do not have to change right now, or even next month. Instead you are in a great position when you already have a device because it means you can take the time you need to prepare for a transition without any rush. The problem IMHO is … if you repeat the cycle. If in few years, or whenever you do change phones you say, again “Switching isn’t necessarily easy or doable for everyone” while having done nothing to change your situation.
Please, don’t rush a change and make it painful. Take the time and use the resources you have… but do something, even if a small thing, to go where you want to be. Do not stay stuck in a place you do not even enjoy.
Switching phones is easy or doable for everyone, assuming you just switch when you’re upgrading your phone anyways.
For some, the phone they use is mandated by their employer.
The phone you use on your personal time isn’t, and if an employer mandates that you use an iPhone, they’d better buy it for you.
That was just one reason I gave. I personally do not like android, and my past experience with a pixel phone did not go well.
I want a phone that’s usable without having to worry about custom roms and Google locking down side loading of apps in the future. There was enough outrage that they gave up on their recent attempt, but we all know that’s not permanent.
My personal preference would be for a Linux phone that works and does so well. That doesn’t exist yet.
I also can’t wait for a Linux phone, I’m tired of Google’s involvement with Android. I also don’t like Google and Samsung devices. The nice thing is that you can choose others.
iMessage is locking me in personally. I’m in a lot of iMessage group chats and I think I would be excluded if I don’t have it. They’re still my friends so I know they would invite me separately to things but I might miss stuff.
That has to be a reason to not use an iThing, right?
The fact that there’s a lock in at all pisses me off enough that I’d force our group to change apps or exclude me, I’d be doing them a favor imo. I’d be more polite about it, of course, but I have no use for closed ecosystems that only work on one device, and I’m not quiet about it. I don’t care what device you use, even if it’s an apple device, but don’t use software that doesn’t also work on other devices.
Idk I was considering it, I have another friend who’s very social and has had an android forever. He’s in a different friend group in another state. I assumed he must be being included based on all the social stuff he’s doing. He recently got an iPhone and said he was added to a bunch of group chats he didn’t know existed and he was missing out on stuff. So that made me not want to switch away.
I absolutely hate that. I’d rather just not be friends with those people. I’d think less of them if they’re not smart enough to use a messaging group that works on more than one type of phone.
