We haven’t had a must-have app thread in quite a while, and since mobile ecosystem moves so fast, thought it might be a good idea to see what people are using these days and consider their must have apps.

    GrayJay - YT (+ other) client (for when Invidious is down)

    PipePipe - YT ( + other) client (for when GrayJay is being directly targeted)

    CloudStream - An app that can be used while sailing on the sea

    Voyager - Lemmy Client

    Catima - keeps track of your membership cards / gift certificates

    Signal-FOSS - Strips GMS from Signal

        This github gist should be able to help you out. Its an open secret that theres a link called “megarepo” built into CloudStream that let’s you download every extension. Paired with the auto-download extensions and autos update extension settings it makes cloudstream extremely useful, you would’ve had to have stumbled upon the gist or got told in their discord about it though.

      What do you think of NewPipe? That’s the only one I use, haven’t tried GrayJay or PipePipe

        NewPipe is great but its codebase isnt maintained as well as PipePipe ATM because theyre doing a full codebase rewrite is my understanding. When they finish I’ll probably switch back
