So it looks like you could get the apk off Github (https://github.com/ACINQ/phoenix/releases)
What happens when Github doesn't allow these types of tools anymore?
Also is Phoenix likely to do some kind of vpn checking like Wallet of Satoshi now does?
And realistically speaking - is anyone going to stop using Phoenix? I imagine most people won't stop, unless Phoenix starts checking people's location, and if that's the case, maybe people will start using a vpn with their phone?

If Phoenix starts blocking US users, no way in hell people go out of their way to use a VPN just to access it. Phoenix already has privacy tradeoffs, just wouldn't be worth it at that point. Other options available.

Ugh. I just started using it and have started to find it mostly understandable, for a newbie. Hate to need to learn something new already.
What are the best other options available?

Zeus and Mutiny are probably the most highly recommendable self-custodial options. Maybe Breeze/Green for a slightly easier experience?

From their wording I'd expect them to geofence their whole backend LSP as well.
Could probably continue with tor enabled though.

when github won't allow things like that, there is codeberg or instances of gitea for example
