AntennaPod is The best podcast app I've come across
Delta chat is chat over email infrastructure
Linklater is a client for my selfhosted linkding bookmark app
Tusky is my mastodon app of choice
Unciv is Civ5 scaled down to pixel graphics
Termux is my terminal emulator for android
Weechat-android I use for chatting on IRC
Kahon I use for reading manga and comics
But my instinct is to first check on fdroid before I look for something on Google play
Bump for AntennaPod. Ditched Spotify for good last year and this has been a great replacement. I used to use PocketCasts back on the day, but that app switched to a subscription model and now my one time premium purchase means nothing. AntennaPod is better anyway!
Another bump for antennapod, haven't found a better podcast app yet and I have tried a few just to see.
Also Delta Chat, I have recently been trying it out through the Arcane Chat app (same dev, Arcane seems to be his feature testing grounds) and I love it so far. It's easy enough to use I was able to get my mom on it, can't say that for XMPP or Matrix! I'm sure it's got its own problems, no forward secrecy, metadata (which to my knowledge every messaging app has by virtue of how "messages" work, even snail mail, it has to know who to go to), but then again Delta wasn't started as an Amdocs (mossad associated company that infiltrated US telcom) product like the Matrix Foundation, so I trust it more for now. And Delta/Arcane uses so much less battery than Conversations does when running GrapheneOS, like by a LOT. I just checked, Conversations has eaten 20% of my charge since full, Arcane Chat has used less than 1% despite having the same screen/background times and same number of messages sent/received on both.
