This thread is ONLY to talk about Weather/Meteo apps, Store apps (Like F-droid or AuroraStore) and FOSS apps about social media and related stuff, like youtube or Fediverse (Mastodon, Lemmy, etc..) apps.

For example, Newpipe is related to YouTube and a good FOSS app to watch videos.

Please, consider share your ideas and thoughts about apps on previous threads. Your opinions are really important to build final megathread. You can upvote or downvote posts so that comments gain strength and agreement between the community.

Why not build a megathread with the best and most reliable FOSS apps too help someone who want to join on the bright side of open source?

We (because this is not from me, this is from us) need to share thoughts, ideas and all things you want to say. Dont be shy. Upvote the comments you like and agree; disagree and tell why you disagree. This is will be different from others threads because this need a proper user opinion, and your opinions will be VERY important to build this. In short, your opinions and thoughts will be the fundamental source to build this.

I will read ALL comments to build this. Even if this has a million comments, I’m going to waste time reading it. Whatever it takes.

Your opinions about it are CRUCIAL and FUNDAMENTAL, because your opinions is the main-base to build the megathread.

Weather: Clima

App managers: Obtainium for FOSS, Aurora Store for proprietary apps, and Droid-ify just for browsing F-Droid repos.

Social media: For YouTube I use LibreTube for watching, as well as Seal for downloading videos (essentially a yt-dlp wrapper). For lemmy, I use Jerboa.

I use F-Droid basic for browsing. The client is really important for easy external repo searching.

Funny that I am not the only one, but F-Droid is simply the best for finding stuff.

Obtainium could need a better UI really.

If you're talking about UIs, f-droid is ugly as hell too. Just do yourself a favor and start using Droid-ify - it's just another f-droid client, but more modern and much nicer.

I find F-Droid to be better. And I use Obtainium with official Releases, F-Droid apps and F-Droid third party repos.

And obtainium has by far the most confusing UI

Glad I'm not the only one who uses Droid-ify for browsing only. I kinda felt bad like I hurt its feelings.
