Me too, though I also don't like downloading APKs from lots of different sources. I stopped using Google Play a few years ago and since then have only installed from https://F-Droid.org . As Bernd indicated that it would be difficult to get applications written in GForth included in the main F-Droid repository, I suggest that the GForth project hosts their own F-Droid-compatible repository for freedom-reviewed Android applications written in GForth. Btw., in my previous emails, I was assuming that GForth is a GNU project, but I'm not sure. Who controls https://GForth.org ? Either way, it'd be a lot safer installing from fewer sources, and GForth seems to me to be as trustworthy as GNU, so I'd be happy with either GForth.org-hosted or GNU-hosted if those 2 possibilities are not the same thing.
