Is there a feature you've recently discovered in an app available on F-Droid that might not be obvious to casual users of the app? This is your chance to share it!

I like that lot of the apps you can also export the app data so you can restore it on a new devices. I didn't like that googles method was an all or nothing approach when it came to backing up apps, and didnt have offline back ups.

Was one of the biggest reasons I started moving to foss alternatives.
