    All of these list are great as we discover new apps each time.

    But, I would suggest to write what is the app about.

      That’s a good point. Originally, I wanted to get a list without writing too much. I’m going to update my phone with some of the suggestions. I’ll update my list with additional explanations.

        what kind of apps cant be updated through playstore/fdroid?

        it’s not that they can’t be (maybe some apps I use can’t) but rather that I don’t like some things about F-Droid. One of the big things being unreliable app updates. They are often significantly outdated compared to GitHub releases.

        https://www.privacyguides.org/en/android/#f-droid

        “Due to their process of building apps, apps in the official F-Droid repository often fall behind on updates. F-Droid maintainers also reuse package IDs while signing apps with their own keys, which is not ideal as it gives the F-Droid team ultimate trust.”

          sorry, dumb question. how reliable is this? And, with this wapp modded installed, have any risk from wapp to ban me? And its possible turn on double check blue mark?

            I don’t know how safe is this I really don’t care about ban. If they ban me then I have a excuse to not use whatsapp. You can turn on double check blue mark in Privacy Setting by Clicking on 3 dots.

        I switched to MyInsta just before The_dise released the beta version of Instander because it was constantly being developed. Additionally, MyInsta is based on Instander and does not have encryption in its source code. So, you can use any APK editor to see it.

      Great list! One suggestion: Try Helium’s OpenBoard fork for keyboard. It has tons of features like full Material You theming, glide typing, multilingual language support as well as autocorrect and suggestion support. I’ve been waiting for autocorrect to be added in FlorisBoard for more than an year now.

    Great lists so far. I’ll add one that I picked up from a previous thread:

    URLCheck

    URLCheck acts as an amazingly customizable and powerful intermediary when opening url links, allowing, among other things: to remove trackers, affiliate links, unnecessary elements, check Hosts, facilitating link holding and sharing, protecting against certain phishing techniques and many more…

          That’s what I thought, too. I’ve still been getting updates for it and, like you said, just got one very recently. I love that app! I got my mom to use it, and she loves it, too.

          Quick Weather - for the radar and day overview.

          Forecastie - for the humidity, rainfall, wind, and temp weekly graphs.

          Both are in f-droid repos.

          I haven’t yet found a nicer one than Overdrop. I’m not a big weather geek, so I don’t need all the minute details. I think Overdrop is a perfect mix between lots of relevant data and gorgeous, simple design. Paid for pro, haven’t regretted it. I have (currently) installed and tried like 10-15 different weather apps. OD is still the only one on my main app page.

    FeedMe (Not FOSS. Open to suggestions)

    The RSS or meal planning app? If it’s the former I like Feeder. You can probably export and import all your feeds.

    I think some of my favorites are LibreTorrent, Session, and NewPipe.

    I am a big fan of open source engine recreations, even if I don’t play them a ton, so DevilutionX and OpenMW are worth mentioning. I think Xash3D is also open source if you want to play Half Life on the go.

    I think OpenRCT2 has an Android app but I haven’t bothered figuring out how to set it up yet.

      I was so excited when I discovered this app. To me it’s one of the most perfect apps. I wish I could use it on desktop.

    I only install what i need so i haven’t actually installed a lot of apps. The copout answer is Firefox, but if i’m taking the prompt seriously it would be Simple Keyboard or Floris Board, they’re highly customizeable keyboards that i really enjoy and i have a hard time deciding which to leave installed.

    Just in general though, browsing F-Droid feels so good. I’m in a much simpler mindset where i’ll think “oh that’s neat i want to try it”, which is how i used to feel about tech. Browsing PlayStore makes me think “that’s neat, but what’s the catch? How are they going to scam me/harvest my data? I’m not installing this”
