Since simple mobile tools will soon become a spyware and I use 3 of their apps regularly, yesterday I installed F-Droid after reading many Lemmy recommendations.
Wow, I’m pleasantly surprised.
A new app I’ve tested is Spotube (Spotify open source alternative; edit: apparently it uses Spotify metadata but it streams from YouTube. My bad.).
Any other underrated app y’all recommend?
Eternity as a Lemmy client
Mastodon official app
Official version of Telegram without Google bloat
NewPipe all the way
Canta
InviZible Pro
Organic Maps - FOSS Navigation!
OpenBoard (keyboards are underrated)
Rethink: DNS+Firewall
URLCheck as a useful way to check links before actually going there
Unciv - FOSS Civilization-like game
I’m still routinely amazed Unciv is allowed to continue to exist, and that it’s becoming so increasingly polished. It’s not a perfect recreation of Civ 5, it probably never truly can be in terms of hardware limitations, but it’s incredible just how damn close they’ve managed to get it.
It’s also exceedingly dangerous for me, as someone who struggles with ADHD, to have Civ 5 on my phone. It has caused more than a few >30 minute bathroom breaks.
That said, I kinda wish the dev wouldn’t push version updates for every single little thing. I can go weeks without most F-Droid apps needing to update, but I seem to get a notification to update Unciv like every 2 days.
If you get Fdroid basic or I think droidify you get auto updates without notifications. This is more of an app store issue than one with the unciv releases.
