Lemmy seems like the right place to ask this. Personally I've really enjoyed Gurgle, which is a FOSS Wordle clone app.

I'm not as well versed in FOSS as other posters but FOSS Android apps that I learned about on Lemmy/kbin and am enjoying:

AntennaPod (podcast player)
Inoreader (RSS reader)
Newpipe (YT player)
Bitwarden (password manager)
LibreraFD (PDF and other format reader, substitute for OverDrive)
kbin (I subscribe to Lwmmy communities thru kbin, also)

And I rely in Firefox with UBO, as other posters have mentioned.

I like inoreader, but I don't think it's even open source, let alone FOSS?

Thanks, I didn't know this.

I've never used inoreader, but Wikipedia lists it as "Freemium". It's not FOSS
