What is your favourite app? Would be interested if I can discover a few new cool apps, I missed until now. Thank you already for sharing! @fdroid

@kirschner for Podcasts, for Mastodon and Fediverse, for my daily radio needs, for , the recent version of for learning via flash cards, for media management. as a simple yet nice looking audio player. as an simple alternative to the mighty . for my video streaming needs (even though is a very fine alternative when it exclusively comes to ), for taking notes, as password manager. to get stuff synchronized, as email client. for my RSS feed needs. And finally the still new client allowing automatic updates of installed apps.

Recently tried out 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?
@fdroid

@kirschner @fdroid Sorry for getting back to you so late, haven't been trying the Nextcloud-Sync yet but will do.

@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@mastodon.social avatar

@chewie
Love #k9mail as well!
@fdroid

@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

    @kirschner @fdroid Not just one app but the group of apps from simple mobile tools. No unnecessary permissions, easy to use, good functionality and a clean uniform UI make them really usable.

    Jailbrick3d,

    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

    kirschner,
    @kirschner@mastodon.social avatar

    @Jailbrick3d This is not (yet?) available in #Fdroid is it?

    Jailbrick3d,

    You can get it if you’ve enabled the IzzyOnDroid repo

    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.

    @hexaquo @fdroid Thank you. That might indeed save me some time in future.

    @islamicaudiobooks @kirschner @fdroid @delta @AntennaPod vi music , rethink is amazing. Kryptey is cool too , except that idk how to disable vibration for tapping ut. Thats a drain , is there a clear reason to why is this tricky? Ir i should just recheck settings?

    Thanks. Did not know about Open Note Scannwr, for what are you using it?
    @fdroid

    gippy,

    @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

    toketin,

    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?

    Yes, I still use it ;)

    Tor browser, due to heavy traffic, sometimes becomes slow & due to security reasons could not load the websites. Mull able to load such websites quickly.
