I want to use F-Droid to download as many apps as possible for my phone, the only thing is I seem to have consistent issues with them. The ones that come to mind from the last week are as follows. They worked when installed from google play (irritatingly)
KDEConnect: Wouldn't download on F-Droid
AntennaPod: Notification remote wouldn't appear a lot of the time and it wouldn't work with android auto

I've shifted towards using Obtainium for most of my open source apps and get them straight from the repo release page. I didn't have any real problem with F-Droid, it's just really slow to release updates since they build everything themselves (which is cool, but again, slow).

I use Antenna Pod from F-droid on Android Auto. You have to turn on developer options (inside Android Auto on your phone) and select Unkown Sources for it to work.

I'll try this when I'm going to be in my car again. Thank you very much though, the android auto was what was actually stopping me from using the F-droid version!

You can change to developer options and unknown sources on your phone before you get to your car. I have noticed updates occasionally lead to Android Auto not making Antenna Pod available. I've found that turning off unknown sources and then turning it back on will fix it.

Check out Droid-ify. I've had better luck with it.
