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 !

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 !

Its on F-Droid (Mihon, Aniyomi, TachiyomiJ2K arent)
Really great manga downloader and reader, sad to see it being discountinued, I hope it keeps working for some time.

I love Kotatsu, for me it's way better than Mihon [I really don't have time and don't like adding sources all the time].
This is the only app which has the option for offline downloads, this is the only open source app which gives you the opportunity of freely reading all manga/manhwa/comics and etc cz this app supports almost every available sites.... This is the one & only open source app which is still working like a charm while many other apps got shut down after few months.
