SlideME is an app store that ships on many devices that don't have Google Play. We've highlighted our favorite open source Android apps to give you some ideas. This is especially valuable because if you're using F-Droid, you'll likely have to replace most of the apps you're used to. The latest version not only fits in with current Android design guidelines, but it provides categories and recommendations to help you discover apps that do what you need. Previous versions of this app were abysmally basic. F-Droid even goes so far as to warn when apps may track your behavior or location. Not only that, you can have greater confidence that the software doesn't contain any malware.

By definition, the apps here are all free to use. You don't have to love Linux to find value in F-Droid.

However, it is the largest mobile app store that features exclusively free and open source software. F-Droid doesn't have anywhere near as many apps as the other options on this list. On the other hand, if you prefer Android over iOS because Android is technically open source, then F-Droid is the app store for you.
