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.

    If you’ve got music on an SD card or on your device, like I do, having an app like Auxio is a must. Only problem I’ve had is that after a single update, a lot of files on my device, regardless of what type of audio file they are, stopped showing how long the audio file is, not how far along in the file you are.

    Cannot find any open source alternatives to WabbitEMU (graphing calculator emulator) and their g••gle play store page is gone, so I just use yetCalc despite not needing all the features it has. Also, I proved myself to be an idiot because I found Graph 89 for a graphing calculator on your phone, but ROMs required. Looked up “calculator” on F-Droid and there it was, down the list.

    I can only recommend this if you use Proton and their services, but I always keep their mail client app on hand for easy access to my 2 accounts I have with them. From what I can find, it isn’t on F-Droid, but you might be able to get an apk directly from them. IDK, would have to check since I just go through g••gle play store for that.

    Other than that, most everything else I can think of are things that have many open source alternatives, meaning you’ll just have to pick what works best for you. Things like launchers, call apps, image gallery, and message apps (which I personally just use the Fossify versions of).
