Which Android app stood out to you this year & why?
Could be anything you used daily, discovered recently, or just genuinely loved.

F Droid, as I made my move from ios to my new device, F-droid helped me find apps that made the transition go smoothly.
I put F-Droid on my Meta Quest 3 and then I didn’t even need to use SideQuest anymore lol, I could just install a file manager and KDE Connect from F-Droid, transfer apk files remotely through KDE Connect and then install them using the file manager
I moved to Droidify, a fdroid client. Its got extra repos built in and feels more polished IMO.
You can also look into Obtanium to install APKs direct from GItHub. This generally means you get updates faster than fdroid, and are 100% sure no code had changed (fdroid rebuilds packahes and resigns them).
I wouldn’t really recommend fdroid tbh. Obtanium + AppVerifier would be a better combo.
