F-Droid TIL thread: What's your favorite obscure feature in an F-Droid app?

a year ago by donio to c/fdroid

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)

I'm still in search of a good photo backup option to my next cloud server or samba file share. Everything I seem to find doesn't work very well or is missing features. I need sorting the photos based on exif metadata. The next cloud app has this feature however doesn't seem to work right and doesn't allow on-demand syncs.
