    I use KDE Connect as a media remote and to transfer files between my phone and computers. It has quite a few other functions, like remote mouse control, sms, seems to share clipboards as well.

      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 They are often significantly outdated compared to GitHub releases.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.”

    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.

        Looks like Geometric Weather stopped development back in '22 and isn’t in the Play Store anymore.

        I’m a sucker for a decent weather app.

        • yobananaboy

          Check out yr.no, it is made by the Norwegian Meteorological Institute. I think it is pretty good internationally too

        • @ace_garp@lemmy.world
          3•1 year ago

          Quick Weather - for the radar and day overview.

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

          Both are in f-droid repos.

        • Victor
          1•1 year ago

          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.

        • @zip@lemmy.blahaj.zoneEnglish
          3•1 year ago

          I think they’re wrong. I use it through F-droid and still get updates. The most recent was within the past couple weeks.

    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.

  • @thawed_caveman@lemmy.world

    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”
