New To Android? What Apps to Choose? - Blåhaj Lemmy

I’m new to android. (Default android 13, not looking to install custom ROMs because I need this to be very functional and dont have time to deal with bugs). Anyways, I’ve installed F-Droid, Helix Keyboard and my go to VPN app. What next? What browser, third party YT player, torrent client, jellyfin client (I’m deaf so need one with opensubtitle integration) etc should I install? I’m paralysed by choice. Anyways, I’ll be happy to try out suggestions.

If you have f-droid:

  • AntennaPod (for podcasts)
  • VLC (always good to have)
  • Ironfox/Fennec
  • SpamBlocker (to block call centers using regex, etc…)
  • Newsblur (for RSS)
  • Transistor (online radio / any stream)
  • Voyager for Lemmy
  • Bitwarden (password manager)
+1 for AntennaPod. I haven’t found a great podcast player, but AntennaPod is the best I’ve seen.
Tried Podcast Addict?
Yes. I prefer AntennaPod. I can’t remember why. I switched a few years ago.
