I'm back! This is a continuation of my series on platform-specific hidden gem apps that you have discovered that are the best in their class for your usecase.

We've done iOS+MacOS so far so lets get universal and share our Android hidden gems.

For mine, I would say NewPipe for YouTube... Lets do it!

Edit: Please try to avoid apps that cannot be purchased (subscription apps) since it is important that the creator cannot cut you off once you've taken time/effort/money to integrate it into your workflow and dependance. No Apollos, which have that fatal flaw + relying on an external API that they additionally cannot gurantee

Just Run Zero to 5K.

For me it's the Golden Age of apps. Easy to use, minimal, good UI, no ads with the ability to buy premium, all the features that you need and non that you don't.

If you want to start jogging I highly recommend it. I think it's perfect.

Edit: I went from barely able to jog an exhausting half mile to jogging 4.5 miles in 13 weeks. It wasn't easy and I think I "failed" a jog twice but having a clear goal with the encouragement of seeing a timer motivate you really helped me.

Yeah - I followed the Couch to 5K program a couple of times. It's a really good program to build you up to a 5K run.
