What are your favourite FOSS mobile apps?

I’m looking for alternatives for everything, from messaging to ebook readers to RSS readers to podcast players and so on.

Particularly interested in music players that can handle m4a files from when I was buying music from Apple not realising how blockheaded that was.

Hopefully apps that care about user privacy.

I’m on Android, but feel free to share iOS options for anyone who might be helped by those tips, too.

Can I get a boost, @opensource?

    I’m a bit frustrated with them. They don’t seem to be very committed to deGoogling, which is their prerogative I guess, but if not, why bother making an open keyboard? Basically if you want to use a version of the app that actually works relatively well, especially with swiping, you need to download the beta or alpha version, which require joining a Google Group and using Google Play to download.

      Their release scheme is questianable yes as you said alpha and beta released in play store only then comes the fdroid release As long as there is an fdroid release I cant blame them really but you got a fait point

      Feature wise they developed their own open autofill and swipe libs plus I love the layouts. Actually builded my own layout but I like the over logic with bottom / top rows, gesture navigations etc

        Their swipe needs a lot of work. You must start on the correct letter. It will base the rest of the word off of the first letter, so if you fat-finger it at all, it will get the wrong word. Sometimes it also just doesn’t give you any suggestions and you have to swipe/type it over again. It really needs some fuzzy searching algorithm to help with thumb typing/swiping.
