@kirschner #AntennaPod for Podcasts, #Fedilab for Mastodon and Fediverse, #Transistor for my daily #Dlf radio needs, #Aegis for #2FA, the recent version of #AnkiDroid for learning via flash cards, #SimpleGalleryPro for media management. #Auxio as a simple yet nice looking audio player. #OrganicMaps as an simple alternative to the mighty #OsmAnd. #NewPipe for my video streaming needs (even though #LibreTube is a very fine alternative when it exclusively comes to #YouTube), #Quillpad for taking notes, #KeePassDX as password manager. #DAVx5 to get stuff synchronized, #FairEmail as email client. #Feeder for my RSS feed needs. And finally the still new #FDroidBasic client allowing automatic updates of installed apps.
Recently tried out #SimpleX messenger and like it quite a bit so far. @fdroid

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.
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.
@kirschner
My Expenses, NewPipe, Open Note Scanner, Catima, ConnectBot, Earmouse, FairEmail, KeePassDX, SicMu Player, Street Complete, Termux, VLC, Wikipedia and those are just my favourites
@fdroidEver hear of KiwiX? You can use it to browse Wikipedia articles without data. It also works with some other sites as well
@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.
@fdroidCiao 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?
@toketin
Yes, I still use it ;)
@kirschner
For offline non-tracking maps:

Is it better than DB app?
@salman Öffi can navigate you through all public transport and doesn’t track you, so in a way, yes. It’s amazing - try it! @guerda @kirschner @fdroid
@datenritter @guerda @kirschner @fdroid
Cool! I will give it a try.
@salman
#oeffi and #transportr are really great apps I have used for many years.

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.

#Satstat will show how well your GPS works, and all the sensors in your phone. Like, I used it to check magnetic fields when fixing some electronics
@fdroid@notsoloud
Interesting to hear about that use of Satstat. Thanks.
@fdroidAlso, Phyphox for access to various sensor data in graph form.
@kirschner@mastodon.social @fdroid@lemmy.ml 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 makes then really usable.

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
@Jailbrick3d This is not (yet?) available in #Fdroid is it?
You can get it if you’ve enabled the IzzyOnDroid repo
