Favorite F-Droid Apps? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

Here are a few of my faves:

  • Breezy Weather - Nice weather app.
  • Diatronome - Tuner, metronome, and synth
  • NewPipe / NeuTube - I haven't found my fave tube app.
  • Suntimes - Information and widgets about the sun and moon.

I'm just looking for some recommendations. It's difficult browsing through apps with F-Droid. Thanks!

That's helpful.

Qalculate! doesn't need the Enter key to run calculations, and can calculate for X. These are the reasons no other calculator should ever be promoted!
