I am not sponsored or associated with any of the companies listed. All included apps are chosen from my personal experience so thats probably a good thing.
All these are free and work without root so try them now!
GENERAL PURPOSE/MISC ----------------------------------------
www.blokada.org
Free open source ad blocker, works super well and is super easy to use. Similar to editing your hosts file, it works across all your apps
https://newpipe.xyz/
YouTube downloader, player, and background player. It also removes all ads from all YouTube videos. Really easy to use as well. It can be a little buggy though, as YouTube is constantly changing, BUT, for the most part, it works real well.
https://www.luckypatchers.com/download/
This one looks real sketchy but I assure you it works well and will not harm your phone. Apparently people try to make malicous copies of it, so only download it from this website (I did, use it on all my apps). What it does is it automatically edits .APK files (apps) to remove ads, and give you all that paid stuff for free (example: gems in mobile apps). Its an awesome tool when you don't want to pay for worthless stuff in apps or games.
https://f-droid.org/
F-Droid is an alternative app store. It has far smaller content than other app stores, but all apps you can download from it are open source. It has some neat apps that are hard to find in other app stores. Best to not replace your app store with, but to see interesting open source apps.
http://www.lonelycatgames.com/apps/xplore/
This is the best file manager app I ever used, on phone or computer. It has so many useful features as well. Check it out, I don't want to list them all, there are so many.
https://www.cyberlink.com/products/power...A.html?r=1
This is a real video editor for a phone. I don't really edit videos but it looks like the video editor I have on my computer.
https://www.inbrowserapp.com/
Awesome private browser. If I have, say, a bank app open, I can easily close all data about it so people around me can't access my bank info. Also not bad as just a regular browser.
https://protonvpn.com/
Best free and privacy friendly VPN app I found so far. Works really well, also is available for computers. Free version has 3 servers, while paid plans have a very large amount of servers. No data limits, not sure if there is a speed limit because my internet is too slow to notice a difference.
https://www.shazam.com/apps
You can find out the names of songs with Shazam. Thats what it does. Great for those who like to listen to the radio and hear stuff they don't know the name of.
https://m.apkpure.com/modsynth-modular-s...m.modsynth
Probably not too many of you will care about this, but if you like keyboards this is a dream. This is an awesome modular synthesizer app. Sadly I am pretty sure it is not a VST so that sucks, but, it is really fun to mess around with. Similar to MuTools MUX, the best modular synthesizer VST I have ever used. (Also there is Kamioooka which is a free modular synthesizer VST)
GAMES -------------------------------------------------------------
https://shatteredpixel.com/
Pixel Dungeon is a game where you control a little character in a dungeon killing enemies and finding goodies. The original is cool, but the modified versions are way way better. This modified version has more than double content the original has. Also this game is fun
https://b2.nussygame.com/
This game is hard. It is a very difficult game, but a fun game. You attack monsters and travel through little rooms to aquire stuff and try not to die. Also a fun game
https://m.apkpure.com/naroth/com.threed.jpct.games.rpg
An open world, 1st person Role Play Game similar to The Elder Scrolls. It is real impressive for a mobile game, feels a bit like Morrowind. Also the graphics are pretty bad, if that concerns you at all.
https://m.apkpure.com/underhand/edu.corn....underhand
A cult simulator game. This is a game testing your ability to adapt to random changes. You have different cards that are used for different purposes, be careful not to get too many cards or bad stuff starts to happen, too little and you may loose control of the cult.
https://apkpure.com/p/hubertadamus.codenamefin
Fin is a cool looking game, I haven't really played it much but so far it seems really cool. I like the combat system.
https://sourceforge.net/projects/hunkypunk/
Interactive Fiction (IF)/Text Adventures are not everyone's thing, but they are awesome if you like them (duh). This is a collection of some IF games you can play, also it is a great way to get started with IF games. You can also add IF stories you downloaded from the internet.
https://m.apkpure.com/antiyoy/yio.tro.antiyoy.android
This is a strategy game. Aquire money by placing houses on your land and use the money to buy people that extend the land. The goal is to conquer all the other settlements. Fun game
https://car-parking-olzhass.en.aptoide.com/app
For the intended playing of this, it sucks, a lot. What makes this app fun is designing the cars. I recommend getting a hacked version that gives you unlimited money so you can buy anything you need to design cars. The online mode kind of sucks because people there are really greedy and will lie to you about trading your cars often. The game seems to be real popular in Malaysia and Russia for some reason, which is pretty cool.
BEFORE YOU GO ---------------------------------------------------
This list is for people to find apps that work really well but arent very popular, so don't get mad because I didn't include Roblox or Facebook or whatever. These are unique apps. Also a good thing is that a lot of these are open source. I gaurantee you found at least one of these to be useful. Sorry apple users, but I have no iPhone so I cannot test any iPhone apps. Have fun with these awesome apps!
