Comment summary: AntennaPod is highly regarded for being open-source, available on F-Droid, and free from ads, making it popular among users who prefer alternatives to proprietary podcast managers. It is appreciated for its customization, ease of use, and the ability to sync across devices with platforms like Nextcloud and gPodder. Features such as podcast index integration, lack of account requirement, and feed import/export are highlighted.

Best in my personal opinion, and being open source plus available on F-Droid is great. Have used it for about 4 years. Nothing else has all the functionality like this app. Backup options for feeds & data, change data storage location, mobile vs wifi download locks (with temporary allow switch), can adjust refresh times to anything or manual or upon launch, lockscreen controls, amoled support, plus a bunch more but I'm tired of typing

It works as it should, and I like it.

Have been using this app for a few months now and it's great! Lot's off cool features, I personally really like the features where the user can download the podcasts. The only problem I have is when I'm searching online for a topic, there are not many search results. Only a few and most of the time they are in English and not in my native language (German)

AntennaPod runs on Android –– unfortunately, it does not run on macOS.

Really good podcast app. Can sync with other devices using Nextcloud or gPodder. Not as elegant as Pocket Casts. But bonus points for being open source and on F-Droid.

I encourage you to do your own research about it ! Also while open source is great for privacy and security it is not perfect. So keep that in mind before downloading any apps. Most apps that I've listed are privacy friendly but some might be not be perfectly private and secure. I again encourage you to do your own research about them. I am not a privacy and security expert. I'm also don't consider myself as a developper so I do not have any technical knowledge and so I didn't look into any source code of any apps in this list !

Beautiful Open Source Apps for Android (nice & modern UI/UX)

UI = User Interface UX = User eXperience Most open source apps offer out-dated or classic material design UI. If the apps works great and the UX is not terrible you might find it okay. But intuitive UI are better, and modern looking ones are pleasant to use, sadly they are not the majority. Here is my list of Beautiful Open Source Apps for your android device ! Apps are listed in alphabetical order ! Also look at : The ultimate F-Droid setup for more open source android apps. and Beautiful Open Source Apps for iOS for your iOS device DISCLAIMERS Nice UI comes to personnal preference. So this list is only based on my taste of what is a good modern looking app. While open source is great for privacy and security it is not perfect. So keep that in mind before downloading any apps. I again encourage you to do your own research about them and read their Privacy Policies. I am not a privacy and security expert. I'm also don't consider myself as a developper so I do not have any technical knowledge and so I didn't look into any source code of any apps in this list !
