Cool. I use Chrono for clock, just try it, it's the best.
I don't recall Fossify Clock being worth it. Calendar is fine although I would be wary of using certain notification settings (which are a bit annoying since they can only be changed by category, and need to fire once per category before being edited), since I ended up unable to turn mine off without restarting my phone. ๐ I was really messing around with those settings though. I just use it to keep track of historical birthdays and event anniversaries now since Orgzly Revived is my preferred time thing. The caldav syncing is a no brainer, though. It would be fine with Thunderbird/Betterbird on desktop.
Voice Recorder is good, I've been using it a lot actually. Paint seemed superfluous. Calculator is awful. The Launcher exists. Notes is okay, they should add encrypted sync and I might use it someday. Joplin and Markor are better. Camera is okay + exists. Keyboard gave me a horrible bug where it was unable to work on my phone unlock screen, three times. I had to wait for my phone battery to run out when that happened, because of its charmingly unremovable battery. Have not used music player since I have VLC.
