What are your Android hidden gem apps

I’m back! This is a continuation of my series on platform-specific hidden gem apps that you have discovered that are the best in their class for your usecase.

We’ve done iOS+MacOS so far so lets get universal and share our Android hidden gems.

For mine, I would say NewPipe for YouTube… Lets do it!

Edit: Please try to avoid apps that cannot be purchased (subscription apps) since it is important that the creator cannot cut you off once you’ve taken time/effort/money to integrate it into your workflow and dependance. No Apollos, which have that fatal flaw + relying on an external API that they additionally cannot gurantee

Phonograph plus if you are a local music nut like me and obtainium if you prefer to not use fdroid to manage your foss app updates

cheese_greater,

Is it better than Vinyl?

Extrasvhx9he, (edited )

Imo yes since iirc its the only one besides vlc that actually read the metadata of my music files correctly

cheese_greater,

Phonograph vs Phonograph+?

Extrasvhx9he,

Plus, its also on fdroid if you want to go that way. I’ll edit my original comment

jared,

Smart tube for Android TV.

cheese_greater,

[Excellent]

cheese_greater,

ResilioSync for synching files between devices (all platforms as far as I know)

cheese_greater,

SpeechCentral, reads almost any text aloud and basically turns anything into an audiobook that follows along (highlights) so you can read and listen at the same time or export audio for hands/eye free listening!
