My top 6 open-source Android apps from the Google Play Store - and why that's important

zdnet.com Jack Wallen 2026-01-26 23:00:00

Joan Cros/NurPhoto via Getty Images Android and open source are closely intertwined. In fact, most open-source fans I know also use Android. Coincidence? I think not. One nice thing about Android is that the Google Play Store has lots of open-source software.

All Ncuti Gatwa Is Willing to Say About the Future of ‘Doctor Who’ Is That He’s Not It
