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

    I'll second Openstreetmap, I use it exclusively. There's also a set of lightweight versions that are locally hosted, so I use osmap.nl if I want to quickly look at where something is. It also forces the names to the language of the server, so you can use it to improve a second language.

    I use an adblocker on my phone called Blokada. It blocks adverts in apps as well as on websites, so I don't get adverts if I play something like Words With Friends for example. Also blocks adverts on Youtube which is an absolute godsend. Advertising is one of the few things I get irrationally upset about.

    I make music using LMMS. It has its limitations but it's quite versatile if you're handy with it. This song was made in it for example: https://on.soundcloud.com/dTqgb

    I use Betterbird for email on my PC. It's Spartan in design, which is what I'm into, and you can sign in with multiple addresses. I use K-9 Mail on my phone which has the same advantages.

    I use an app called Saisonkalender to look at what veg is in season. Quite niche but it's handy for ordering ingredients for soup of the day in work.

    I have a game on my phone called Lexica which is basically Boggle. It's good fun.

      I also love OSM, but I often heavily rely on Satellite imagery for orientation.

      For example, when I explore an area, I‘m going to travel to, I almost exclusively look to the city‘s satellite imagery beforehand to identify landmarks and use them for orientation. Unfortunately that doesn’t work well with OSM.

      Has anyone an OSM equivalent for satellite imagery?

        I use OsmAnd on Android and it has a feature to overlay (or underlay) map tiles from multiple sources. I use the OSM tiles as my default and overlay Microsoft's satellite imagery over them, which I can turn on and off (or even adjust opacity with a slider).

        You can look at routes and stops on it and that's about it, but I maintain that Google Maps is awful for public transport. I used to work on the railway and I have some anecdotes about it.

          Oh. In Dublin at least Google Maps is pretty good for public transport. OSM doesn't show correct routes

            Ah shame. To be honest I use dedicated public transport websites and apps anyway, or I just do it the old-fashioned way when I'm not away travelling and remember the routes.
