Re: Android applications

Get https://droidify.app instead.
It’s officially blessed by the F-Droid project, and unlike the stock client, doesn’t look like something created in 1476BC.

Thank you - got it.

Can Google apps coexist with F-droid?
AND YUP!  Looks Much better.

What Fdroid app do most use to chat?

Re: Android applications

F-droid is a repository of apps, something like Google Play but with all FOSS apps. Some things like Thunderbird are available in both repos - in that case I usually go for the fdroid package, though sometimes GP has a more recent version. In that case you have to decide if the new features are important enough.

@glitter thanks for the hint about droidify - I'll have a look.

@Sector I try to avoid chatting on the phone as much as possible because my fingers hate poking at a tiny virtual keyboard, but apart from regular email - which I always try to push people to use - what most people here in Japan and other parts of Asia use is LINE. That's not on F-droid.
