Can the Android APP be safely used without leaking any personal information?

The Bisq Android APP dependents on **Google Play Services**.  
You know the one that scan your apps and data (\*only for your own good, of course) and calls home regularly to report.  
The App does not work on a Google free LineageOS phone. Great, isn’t it ?

The APK can be downloaded directly from [Releases · bisq-network/bisqremote\_Android · GitHub](https://github.com/bisq-network/bisqremote_Android/releases) without having to use the app store, regarding what @AndyCC says about it not working on LineageOS, I did not verify myself

Hi,  
I use the [Aurora Store](https://f-droid.org/en/packages/com.aurora.store/) on my LineageOS. No Google Play Services, no Google Play Store. All my other Apps (11) work flawless without the Google Play Services. The Bisq Notification App is the only one I found not working on my Google-Free phone.
