Best Free Open Source Apps For Android

[@MinarTastic]

I'm the developer of Birday, thanks for featuring my app. I made it for pure passion, mostly working at night, so these are my only satisfactions and my fuel to keep working on this and other projects. 👊

[@peterserwylo]

Developer of Super Retro Mega Wars here. Thanks for the kind words. I normally sit in the multiplayer lobby each night and play one or two games with wonderful strangers. I was wondering why dozens of people were joining me for games over the last two days and I guess this explains it. Thanks to all those who tried it out and came along for a game.

[@TheAbinn]

How you make money from it?

[@peterserwylo]

Short answer: I don't, and that is fine. I make it because I think it is a fun idea and I want to share it with people. I have received donations of about $50 over the year, and although free on F-Droid, I do list it for $1 on Google play as a form of donation. That has earned about $25. The bulk of the approx 500 downloads on Google Play are from when I put it on sale for free, like it is now. I have a day job as a software developer that pays the bills.

[@vickymelomane8017]

Out of all these apps, I download only your game! Awesome man!! Thanks for this... ❤️

Top notch. This being only my 2nd video watched. I have learned more about my Android phone in the past 35 minutes, than I have in 12 years. I have no choice now, but to turn on personalized notifications. Thanks again.

Super great video. I can tell you raised your production quality, and supporting these kinds of apps and projects is an amazing theme. One of my favorite videos you've made.

[@mikemckay7374]

You should definitely do more of these videos!! I always love learning about different open source apps

[@itsmyright2229]

WHOOA I downloaded 3-4 of them Super unexpected, but the apps shown were REALLY useful. Things I didn't think I wanted, like the Dark Wallpaper and Antennapod

[@mohammadsalman8156]

Bro I have been watching your videos since ages ago! I don't care about the content as much as I care and love watching your videos! One of the best youtubers ever! ❤️

[@srikanthamsa]

I understand how challenging it is to consistently create quality videos and upload them, but I feel like I keep witnessing a lot of your older content being featured in your more recent videos again and again. I've been waiting for months now for fresh and exciting apps in your videos. I know you won't let me down in the next one. Love from India ♥

It could be true that the apk on f droid is different. Their store has many policies so many developers have an extra apk for the f droid store and the Google Play Store.

Okay, we need an video what's on my phone, because I think or you have ton of apps, or really mentioned apps stay on phone for not that long. )) With firewalls on android it's bit interesting, if you block app, but it still sees that WLAN is accessible, app usually will send requests again which often not bueno for battery.

Problem with bromite browser is it takes too much Ram . It's already the biggest browser in size, for me it's 135 mb . Now how can this mobiles with 2 GB or 4 GB Ram work . Besides i always think that next page, previous page and reload button in option at top right is not ergonomic when your mobile is 6.5" . Bitwarden needs root access to do actually work with full potential.
