Since simple mobile tools will soon become a spyware and I use 3 of their apps regularly, yesterday I installed F-Droid after reading many Lemmy recommendations.

Wow, I'm pleasantly surprised.

A new app I've tested is Spotube (Spotify open source alternative; edit: apparently it uses Spotify metadata but it streams from YouTube. My bad.).

Any other underrated app y'all recommend?

A new app I’ve tested is Spotube (Spotify open source alternative).

This is super misleading. Spotube isn't a Spotify alternative, it uses Spotify metadata and streams the audio from youtube.

Thank you! They advertise it pretty confusingly, I didn't figure it out until I saw a reddit post explaining.

Really? How does it do that? Not everything on Spotify is on YT is it.

Edit: https://github.com/KRTirtho/spotube/issues/835

Hmm, I think this is a bit deceiving from the developer. I have premium but just want an Android client which doesn't force podcasts on me :(
