F-Droid which is an open source alternative to Google Play that only contains FOSS (Free and Open Source Software) apps.

F-Droid utilizes something called repositories. The official repository is very strict about which apps can be included so you can add other repos to get more FOSS apps. Izzy's repo is a popular one.

If there are some apps that you can't replace with FOSS ones and need Google Play for that then you can just use Aurora Store. Aurora Store is a FOSS client to access Google Play without an account.

What are some of the FOSS apps you use and would recommend? Oh and how do we feel about a FOSS comm? Here is a request for one

    Antenna Pod is fucking awesome. It's by far the best podcast manager out there and has gpodder integration so you can sync your listening between devices

      I've only tried a few so I can't really compare it with all of the others, but it works really well for me, even with many many (~3500) episodes added to the queue, and many podcasts added overall.

      EDIT: If that doesn't work, the tokenizer URL that I sometimes use is http://www.auroraoss.in:8080/

      EDIT2: edited the wrong post...

        I have 500 gigs of storage on my phone and have it just auto download everything in the morning. Great for pods like WTYP that are hosted on servers that limit you to like 50kbps
