#153983 — By now, are we aware of all the good FOSS freeware on Android?

Q: By now, are we aware of all the good FOSS freeware on Android?
A: ?

I haven't seen a good Android program in quite some time that I'm not
already aware of, so I wondered if anyone else has something useful?

I'll list what I have installed, separately, but I'm just wondering if
there's anything left on Android that is useful we haven't tested yet?

A game changer in secure and anonymous email communication, with air-gapped
NaClbox encryption will soon be in service, as a paid service with Bitcoin,
where each message cost a minimum of 300 sat, which is quite affordable for
journalists, whistle blowers, activists or the general audience. All email
messages are routed via the Nym Mixnet.

The web interface looks like this and currently uses (until tomorrow NYM
instead of sat) The AEC software (Air Gapped Encrypted Communications) will
come out in a couple of days, once I have received my webcam for my little
GPD MicroPC, so that I can test it with PlugOS on Android. AEC source code
will however only be available on request for nym.com and cure53.de, to
protect my IP.

I have no idea what you've tested, but one of my favorites is FBR
(Favorite Book Reader). It reads .pub3 books, and other things. The
free version is VERY usable. I liked it so much I ponied up $5 for the
paid version just to reward them, not because I had a crying need for
any advanced features. I use it with books downloaded from Project
Gutenberg. Outstanding!

Games. There are not that many games in F-Droid. You can actually count 
them.
