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 !
A clean Android setup with the best apps (mostly open source)
Everytime I setup a phone for a friend or myself I usually remove stock apps using adb or UniversalAndroidDebloaterNextGeneration and replace them with theses apps listed here. I added also a couple of nice to have apps that people might wants on their device.
Almost all of them are free as in free beer and many are open source (around 80%)
I tried to feature more applications and less services but there are several services still in this list, however I find them great and/or accessible (freemium most of the time).
FOSS = Free(as in freedom) and Open Source Software
My setup - Android

Comments and Reviews
This is a great SMS app with some extra features like scheduled sending. The UI is user-friendly yet functional and is fairly customizable. It works well in terms of syncing SMS database or importing/exporting.
It has a nice swipe feature that let you assign functionality (e.g. call contact or archive conversation) to horisontal swipe. Notifications also have the essentials like customizable quick actions and quick reply.
It just works very well and is a logical choice after Signal depricated SMS support. I haven't found any other SMS app that works as well and is as feature-complete as this (and it's also actively developed and will continue to receive improvements). The second choice after this would be Fossify SMS app, but I definitely prefer QUIK.
Is there a site with explanations of QUIK functions. ie- what does it mean when your sent text is in italics?
