J. R. Haigh's recommendations for Android
F-Droid (https://f-droid.org/ ) (GPLv3+) – libre software repository, from which the following can be downloaded (To install, you need to enable ‘unknown sources’ because it is separate from Google.); |
FAST App Search Tool (GPLv3) – quick application launcher from double-clicking or up-swiping the home button; |
Hanger (GPLv3) – recent application launcher widget for notification bar (tip: pin FAST so that you can quickly get to applications that have fallen off the list); |
Kiwix (GPLv3) – offline Wiktionary, Wikipedia, etc.; |
LibreTorrent (GPLv3) – reliably download large files such as those used by Kiwix; |
RPN (GPLv3+) – step-by-step calculator with no need for parentheses (e.g. try pressing [[1]], [[Enter]], [[2]], [[Enter]], [[3]], [[×]], [[+]] and compare this with [[1]], [[Enter]], [[2]], [[+]], [[3]], [[×]]); |

MuPDF (AGPLv3+) – view portable documents (PDFs) often attached to emails or downloaded; |

Amaze (GPLv3) – file manager; |
Ghost Commander (GPLv3) – advanced file manager; |

Flym (GPLv3) – feed reader, supports RSS and Atom feeds; |
WiFi Analyzer (GPLv3) – analyses Wi-Fi channels; |
Rotation Manager (GPLv3) – set application-specific orientations, a workaround for some Android rotation issues; |
OsmAnd (GPLv3) – offline OpenStreetMap; |
NewPipe (GPLv3+) – YouTube downloader for later offline playing; |
Mitzuli (GPLv2+) – offline translator; |
Barcode Scanner (search ‘zxing’) (Apache2) – scan barcodes and share via QR codes; |
