Reviewed Wise Data RecoveryDecent for recovering data, however it will not repair corrupted data that has been recovered or it doesn't repair it properly unlike some other alternatives.
Reviewed Kudu CleanerSo far only tried the cleaner and the updater, though the other tools it offers looks very promising. The cleaner itself could be better compared to others that managed to find 60gb of garbage files, in a PC that does not clean automatically, it only found 25gb. The updater pulls from wget, and updates silently but gives no conclusion or summary of the installation.
I will update further when I've tried the other tools it offers
Reviewed WinCleanCatExtremely basic cleaning tool, with a mediocre scanning algorithm. I compared it with some other cleaning tools, others found 60-90gb of junk total this one only found 4gb worth of junk. In addition not everything is properly translated into English, the scanning results were all in Chinese despite me selecting the English language.
There are better Open Source alternatives with the bonus of not being from China either.
Reviewed AudiConvDoes download files from certain sites, however the bitrate of the files may be fake/false.
Reviewed Irbis ZenLooks to be a free open-source system-wide ad-blocker similar to Adguard for OS. Would be interesting to compare both of these.
Commented on PearPassStill needs to add support for TOTP and Passkeys, worth keeping an eye on
Edit: It looks like TOTP and Passkeys have been added, will update further. Still no support for key files
Commented on Free Download Manager"It's no longer safe to trust the developer's application."
Kind of a gigantic leap in assumption given that the devs were not the reason for the infected executable, hackers managed to redirect some of the download traffic to an infected executable and when the devs discovered it, they fixed the vulnerability on their site. This would be valid if the devs had a pattern of these kinds of issues, which they do not.
Reviewed Turbo PlayNeeds loooots of work, its pretty unintuitive some, of the transformations for text for example cannot be done on the preview screen rather needs to be done through a menu, preview for 4k video (even with lower preview resolution) doesn't properly play compared to other video editors, tracking seems to crash after the menu doesn't appear and more. There is quite a bit of popup menus even for changing the font size
No where near the UX of Resolve, Premier Pro or even VSDC which a rathe big...
Reviewed BetterbirdIts Thunderbird but with further bug fixes, additional UI options and more stable imo. Its totally compatible with Thunderbird, so one can easily switch between the two if needed.
Commented on MailHavenThe checker for if an email address name can be used never gets completed. Support although responsive at first, had no clue.
Very nice list, though I still manage to find some suggestions lol
Id add Handy News Reader, an open source RSS reader with certain features that many RSS readers lack, big one for example is labeled saved articles and can even create pseudo feeds from websites.
If you make a category for social messaging, id add Element (matrix)
Commented on Hancom OfficeAs of June 2024, the version of Hancom Office free edition was last released in 2020, there are better up to date free office suits around. And it has disgustingly long ad in the toolbar.
I would include Magic Earth for Maps
Commented on SnapchatSnapchat is currently part of the same mainstream overhyped, low quality apps that the masses have adopted. Also dark mode is only available on apple devices, not android for whatever reason.

edit: Cambridge has been removed for attempting to conflate gender and sex similarly to Merriam Webster.
Handy News Reader is a great FOSS RSS/website reader for mobile.

Commented on JusTalk"In a report by TechCrunch with help from security researcher Anurag Sen, claims by the company behind JusTalk that claim the app is end-to-end encrypted were proven false."
JusTalk doesn't appear to actually be encrypting messages. They will now either remove the claim or update their application so that encryption actually works this time.
I'd also add Element(.io) it's pretty much Signal privacy with Discord type of features and it's decentralized. I think it has better security than Signal.
edit: Ended up leaving Buttercup for KeepassXC so nvm that
But nice list! Saw some apps that i haven't heard of so I'll look into those.
Commented on DuckDuckGoRip the duck, they had decent privacy and for some time were in favor of freedom of information and allowing users to read all news/info and letting them decide. Then the founder decided to follow the likes of Mozilla and join google in their throttling/censorship of various information as well as opposing info.
