Not an everyday favorite but a potential life-saver: EtchDroid for creating bootable Linux USB drives. Allowed me to fix a laptop which wasn't booting in the middle of a holiday.

MODERATORS
@kirschner #AntennaPod for Podcasts, #Fedilab for Mastodon and Fediverse, #Transistor for my daily #Dlf radio needs, #Aegis for #2FA, the recent version of #AnkiDroid for learning via flash cards, #SimpleGalleryPro for media management. #Auxio as a simple yet nice looking audio player. #OrganicMaps as an simple alternative to the mighty #OsmAnd. #NewPipe for my video streaming needs (even though #LibreTube is a very fine alternative when it exclusively comes to #YouTube), #Quillpad for taking notes, #KeePassDX as password manager. #DAVx5 to get stuff synchronized, #FairEmail as email client. #Feeder for my RSS feed needs. And finally the still new #FDroidBasic client allowing automatic updates of installed apps.
Recently tried out #SimpleX messenger and like it quite a bit so far. @fdroid
@cryptgoat
Thank you for the great list. Did not yet try out Aegis and Auxio. And one question in case you use it: Is the #nextcloud sync for quillpad working reliable?

My Expenses, NewPipe, Open Note Scanner, Catima, ConnectBot, Earmouse, FairEmail, KeePassDX, SicMu Player, Street Complete, Termux, VLC, Wikipedia and those are just my favourites

@kirschner
To use the smartphone's camera as a scanner, with the convenience of having pictures converted into 1bit depth (B/W with no grey scale), lightening them a lot.
@fdroid
Ciao Gabriele! Thank you for this suggestion, the only problem is that this app, I've seen, that has no longer been updated. Does it still work fine?

Ever hear of KiwiX? You can use it to browse Wikipedia articles without data. It also works with some other sites as well
@kirschner
#Satstat will show how well your GPS works, and all the sensors in your phone. Like, I used it to check magnetic fields when fixing some electronics
@fdroid
@notsoloud
Interesting to hear about that use of Satstat. Thanks.
@fdroid
Also, Phyphox for access to various sensor data in graph form.

Obtainium. For all those cool apps you find on GitHub, GitLab, FDroid, Izzy, APKPure, and more. In some cases you can add your own links and it'll try to scrape them for APKs for app updates

#Radiodroid gives you easy access to tons of netradios worldwide.
Curious about foreign music?
Learning a new language? Tune in to local radio!
@kirschner
Use #transportr most days to find public transport in Denmark.
It can connect to other databases, so might work in your area?
@fdroid
@notsoloud
Yes, works here. I was already a alpha tester in the early ages of the app. @grote has done great work there!!
@fdroid
@kirschner @fdroid for me, probably the most useful (after maps which has already been covered) is mail. I would recommend https://k9mail.app/.
I use it for work daily and it gets updated regularly.
@kirschner @fdroid I'll try harder then :)
#Owncloud client https://owncloud.com/
We use it to connect to our own server for storing receipts, plane tickets, company documentation etc. It's great to keep things synced between devices.
A similar thing is #syncthing, which is cross platform although I don't have a use case for it at the moment, sadly. https://syncthing.net
Subway Tooter for Mastodon!
