        Newpipe - A YouTube client without ads.

        Literally can’t say enough good stuff about Newpipe.
        Everything YouTube SHOULD be, this is. LISTEN TO A VIDEO IN THE BACKGROUND!!!11. Playback speed infinitely adjustable- good for lectures, interviews, etc. No ads. No bullshit.

      Most of the apps of tibor kaputa. I really like the simple gallery. The simple dialer and simple contacts are also really good. Just clean default apps that do what they should.(adfree)

      Endless Sky and Mindustry are some good, fun, deep games.

        The UX for Mindustry sucks compared to something like Factorio, because it’s really tough to do those controls on touch screen, but it’s good enough. I’ve enjoyed it for the little I tried.

      Newpipe in particular is super important. It’s a better YouTube app with more features and no ads.

      Sorry for not supporting Google, I know they need more money… /s

        I prefer LibreTube because it doesn’t look outdated and it uses Piped, so you never actually connect to the YouTube servers and you can synchronize your subscriptions and playlists

          It’s a fantastic app. Remember to set your default YouTube links to open with it also, you can do that with android in app settings.

        Thanks to US infrastructure I don’t need yet another map just for public transport! Thanks US government for looking out for us little people! (I really don’t think this is needed, but /s just in case.)
