Endless Sky and Mindustry are some good, fun, deep games.

oh and shattered pixel dungeon also...

The UX for Mindustry sucks compared to something like Factorio, because it's really tough to do those controls on touch screen, but it's good enough. I've enjoyed it for the little I tried.

Most of the apps of tibor kaputa. I really like the simple gallery. The simple dialer and simple contacts are also really good. Just clean default apps that do what they should.(adfree)

Osmand (offline GPS maps)

Same version as the android store but free.

Newpipe in particular is super important. It's a better YouTube app with more features and no ads.

Sorry for not supporting Google, I know they need more money... /s

I prefer LibreTube because it doesn't look outdated and it uses Piped, so you never actually connect to the YouTube servers and you can synchronize your subscriptions and playlists

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Agreed. LibreTube is really good.

Just got it. Amazing! Thanks!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

It's a fantastic app. Remember to set your default YouTube links to open with it also, you can do that with android in app settings.

redreader, newpipe, session messenger(needs repo thing from website), aurora store, simple gallery pro

I use LibreSudoku. It's a very nice Sudoku app.

Pretty much all the basics are covered, here are some examples:

  • Newpipe for videos and music
  • FairEmail for email
  • Organic Maps for maps and routes
  • Aves Libre for gallery
  • lots of privacy-oriented instant messaging apps (I use DeltaChat)
  • Jerboa for lemmy
  • plethora of calendars, todo apps, calculators, keyboards...
  • some games

And then of course all you power-ish user stuff (alternate launchers, clients for self-hosted clouds and stuff, terminal emulators...)

Worth noting while checking out Aves libre it seems the developer has renamed it to just Aves and continued updating.

New to f-droid so if I have this wrong let me know

Öffi, a non sucking public transportation app.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

Thanks to US infrastructure I don't need yet another map just for public transport! Thanks US government for looking out for us little people! (I really don't think this is needed, but /s just in case.)
