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?

Do I need Droid-ify, Obtaniun, and F-Droid Basic? Feels like there's a lot of overlap there, no?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

If you want them, but you don't need but one of them. I like Obtainium the most as it updates from Github and F-droid, but i find Droid-ify makes it easy to search for new apps so i like to have it. I never liked F-droid Basic, but i would pick between that and Droid-ify for the best looking front end

Is Florisboard still being developed? Hasn't been updated in 18 months according to F-Droid. Some buttons generate a TODO pop-up when pressed and the predictive text still uses placeholder values.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 8 months ago (1 children)

There is development being done still on suggestions. Last i heard is there would be news once thats completed

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago

Yeah - this is the feature we're all waiting for.
