What isn’t working? It’s a little different than the phone app, but it works for me.

All of these list are great as we discover new apps each time.

But, I would suggest to write what is the app about.

That’s a good point. Originally, I wanted to get a list without writing too much. I’m going to update my phone with some of the suggestions. I’ll update my list with additional explanations.

Obtainium is great for updating apps hosted outside the playstore, big upside being you don’t need to bother with FDroid releases

what kind of apps cant be updated through playstore/fdroid?

it’s not that they can’t be (maybe some apps I use can’t) but rather that I don’t like some things about F-Droid. One of the big things being unreliable app updates. They are often significantly outdated compared to GitHub releases.

https://www.privacyguides.org/en/android/#f-droid

“Due to their process of building apps, apps in the official F-Droid repository often fall behind on updates. F-Droid maintainers also reuse package IDs while signing apps with their own keys, which is not ideal as it gives the F-Droid team ultimate trust.”

Great list! One suggestion: Try Helium’s OpenBoard fork for keyboard. It has tons of features like full Material You theming, glide typing, multilingual language support as well as autocorrect and suggestion support. I’ve been waiting for autocorrect to be added in FlorisBoard for more than an year now.

Great lists so far. I’ll add one that I picked up from a previous thread:

URLCheck

URLCheck acts as an amazingly customizable and powerful intermediary when opening url links, allowing, among other things: to remove trackers, affiliate links, unnecessary elements, check Hosts, facilitating link holding and sharing, protecting against certain phishing techniques and many more…
