I’m kind of new to android. F-droid is kind of hard to navigate. some apps doesn’t load their thumbnails and some doesn’t even have them at all. It’s hard to decide which ones are good other than how recent It’s updated.

What I need atm:

  • Music player
  • Writing / Note taking
  • Diary app
  • VPN?
  • Maps
  • Messenger app
  • Social media / Fediverse frontends (if it exists)
  • Peertube client (to upload and manage videos)
  • Reminders / To do list app

You can recommend me any android apps that might be useful.

    use Aurora droid or Foxy droid, the official F-Droid client is buggy.

    for fediverse: tusky for mastodon, husky for pleroma, lemmur for lemmy, pixeldroid for pixelfed

      But if you have some apps installed in F-Droid and I switch to Aurora Droid for example, the apps installed by F-Droid will be deleted or what? I have a lot of apps installed with F-droid and I don’t want to lose them in the transition…

        No, you can swich wich no problem, but personaly sometimes I have issues with AuroraDroid search, nothing big enough to be a problem, maybe I’ll open an issue, but someone one knows more clients to give them a try?

          yeah, it has a problem with searching. when you search, type what you’re looking for, delete the last character, and type it again. it fixes it for me.

          So I will be able to keep my apps even if I uninstall F-Droid and I install Aurora Droid? Good to know, thanks for the answer, I gonna try now.
