I have the same issue for Ubuntu 17.04. It would be nice if the developer would update the software/repository info.

[simonisacoder]

same problem. does anyone solve the problem?

I looked at the repository and it doesn't look like it has been updated since Ubuntu 15.04 (Vivid Vervet). I tried adding the repository and changing the distribution to vivid, but then it seemed to have an issue with the public key.
