Privacy Pros:<\/strong> All apps in the store get vetted through a strict screening that promotes FOSS, open source, and privacy friendliness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Privacy Cons:<\/strong> Some apps use different source repositories for apps, which are slower to release than the official repository, or sometimes even Google Play. Consider using Obtainium<\/a> if this is an issue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Privacy Tip:<\/strong> Look for source repositories for projects to get updates faster; e.g. using the Bromite Repo<\/a> instead of the stock FDroid repo for Bromite updates.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Aves<\/em> can handle all sorts of images and videos, including your typical JPEGs and MP4s, but also more exotic things like multi-page TIFFs, SVGs, old AVIs and more<\/strong>! It scans your media collection to identify motion photos<\/strong>, panoramas<\/strong> (aka photo spheres), 360\u00b0 videos<\/strong>, as well as GeoTIFF<\/strong> files.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Navigation and search<\/strong> is an important part of Aves<\/em>. The goal is for users to easily flow from albums to photos to tags to maps, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aves<\/em> integrates with Android (including Android TV) with features such as widgets<\/strong>, app shortcuts<\/strong>, screen saver<\/strong> and global search<\/strong> handling. It also works as a media viewer and picker<\/strong>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
