Mull: web browser
QKSMS: text messaging with import/export support.
K-9 Mail
andOTP
Vanilla Music
DroidShows: because I sometimes forget where I left off when watching a show
OsmAnd~: it's so-so for road navigation, but absolutely fantastic for hiking
and finally lemmur, naturally

[–] SeerLite@lemmy.ml 1 points 3 years ago

Haven't tried it yet myself, but I've heard that Organic Maps is much smoother and faster alternative to OsmAnd~.

I would love to use Lemmur, but I've been unable to add the lemmy.ca instance to it. It just says "Instance not found"

[–] onlooker@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

You're better off switching to Jerboa, that's what I did. Lemmur is no longer in development.

I got the qrcode app since I needed one, cool one. And I also use K9-Mail really good client imho

Aegis Authenticator, IMO the best TOTP app out there.
mpv-android to play almost any kind of multimedia files.
Organic Maps for an OpenStreetMaps-based navigation, and doesn't require an Internet connection to operate.
StreetComplete to fill missing OpenStreetMaps info you encounter, in an almost fun manner.
Syncthing-Fork for a Syncthing client with some good mobile-specific tweaks.
Termux to emulate and run a bunch of console-based softwares (like youtube-dl, etc).
AirGuard to detect if you're being tracked by an Apple AirTag without your knowledge.

Yes, Aegis is the best TOTP app. I recently switched from Authy to Aegis and it is pretty good.

Just recently found Barista. Its an alternative instagram client that lets you browse privately and does not expose you to their stupid algorithm. Also Infinity to go on Reddit.

It's called Barinsta in case anybody is looking for it:

Development has stopped, not working anymore because of expected Meta lock-in.
