      I’ve been using AntennaPod for years now to listen to podcasts. It works great and feels like a premium app.

          I also use it. It’s good

            Oh good! I’ve been looking for a replacement podcast app!

              My go-to, it really works well, supports true podcasting.

                thank you. I’ve been listening to less since google podcasts got shut down and haven’t bothered finding something that works

                Aves Libre is a nice photo app

                CoMaps with Sherpa Onnx is an amazing combo for a map app that tells you directions verbally

                Grayjay is great and also the only open source app to my knowledge to watch and download Rumble

                    Fyi, GrayJay isn’t open source, it’s “source available”.

                    Open source means it has an open source license allowing you to fork the repository and make your own version. GrayJay doesn’t have a license that allows that.

                      To me Aves does some weird things, like when I scroll left or right the image is low quality and after a second it gets better. It’s unpleasant.

                          Feudal Tactics rarely shows up in the “best of FOSS” lists or games lists. Yet I think it’s one of the most engaging and nicely balanced single player, local games out there.

                                Oh man game wise it looks cool but visually, it’s so ugly I don’t know if I can do it.

                                    Yea, it’s not winning any beauty contests. But super fun turn based strategy.

                                        Some overlooked ones:

                                        Material Files

                                        Anx Reader

                                            OSS document scanner is so much better than using the regular camera app for scanning docs and receipts. Really useful.

                                                +1 for Idle Fantasy. It’s surprisingly fun for being text only.

                                                Aegis since I was extremely, extremely annoyed that Google authenticator added entries by order of appearance, had no search, couldn’t reorder them, and just blasted your numbers publicly with the app open.

                                                Aegis has all of that… These are just basic features…

                                                    Canta, can get rid so much slop right off the device without a laptop and adb. Then you can get rid of slop they slip in with updates.

                                                                  Please don’t post about current US Politics. If you need to do this, try !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world or !uspolitics@lemmy.world


                                                                  7) No Hit-and-Run questions.

                                                                  Please don’t delete your post for no apparent reason. If you plan on deleting a question later, say so in the post, or if you feel that you have a good reason to remove it, message a mod beforehand. It’s not fair to the ones who took their time to answer, and it’s not in the spirit of the community.
