Heres my tier list of open source android apps, I have only included ones i feel I have used enouph to understand.

Please tell me any of your favorite open source apps as I would love to hear.

S tier- OpenCalc, firefox, thunder, organic maps, Aegis authenticator, wikipedia, translate you, F-Droid.

A tier: open camera, fossify suite, k-9, termux, simplenote, Acode, pie launcher,

B tier: gallery (by iacoblonut), peer tube, simple keyboard, floris board (might be higher if it used haptic feedback interface by default), unexpected keyboard (would be S tier if shift did not carry on selecting text once released).

C tier: FreeDcam, libre camera, geo notes, free paint.

I'd like to add New Pipe, Fossify gallery and Fossify file manager

Thanks, I'm trying out NewPipe right now but haven't quit got the hang of it, though Im not giving up yet, I just don't feel I can rank it yet.

Also i agree those Fossify apps are great that's why I included the Fossify suite in A tier. I realise now that maybe they arent all A tier so Here's my ranking of Fossify apps that fits in with the prior ranking:

Low S tier: Contacts, phone, SMS messenger

A tier: Gallary, file manager, Calendar, Clock, calculator

B tier: paint, voice recorder, keyboard, camera, launcher

Haven't used enough to rank: notes - no sync and no markdown :( Music player - just haven't used it much

Try PipePipe, a better fork of NewPipe
