Is there a feature you've recently discovered in an app available on F-Droid that might not be obvious to casual users of the app? This is your chance to share it!

  • URL radio and antennapod have android auto integration

  • Firefox can be used for offline translations: just go to about:translations

    • now there is a separate app using the same engine that also has ocr "offline translator", check it out

  • handy news reader: you can set up filters for feeds. So if you are interested only to articles about a certain topics from a generalist website, you can use this feature

  • image toolbox has a very handy OCR integration

  • the best tetris version you can play on android: lemuroid emulator + apotris, an open source Tetris clone for GBA, maybe the best in existence

For tetris you should also try this one: Falling Lightblocks (Not on F-droid, and you should import a theme)
