Not in any particular order, because they all do different jobs. All I care about is how well they do those jobs (though let's not lie, good looks never hurt).
- gPodder
Just does everything it needs to do, and does it well. Never had a single crash with it, the app remembers where I paused the podcast even after closing. Pretty, too.
- Feed Haven
The best RSS reader on Sailfish in my opinion. The dev is active on here, and regularly updates the app with user requests. Does its job and does it well.
- MeeCast
Who knew getting the weather could be so beautiful? The only app that I never close. Swipe left to refresh, right for a different location - barely need to open it fully - but when I do it's all set out in such a way that makes getting the information easy. Nice customisation options in the settings, too.
- YTPlayer
I don't think I'd ever watch YouTube videos on my phone if it wasn't for YTPlayer. Nice, ergonomic layout, makes getting to my subscribed channels easily. Video nearly always plays perfectly first time, some issues in the past for that, but improving for sure.
- File Browser
Genuinely don't know what I'd do without it. It does it's job without ever making a fuss, without ever screwing up. What more is there to say? It works.
Honourable mentions: Tweetian, SailGrande, Truly Yours (amazing app for downloading ambiences), Dalvik stop! (my battery thanks you) and Call Recorder.
I've not included any first party apps. If I were to do so, the browser (if only for the incredible improvements made) and settings (awesome from a usability standpoint) would be right up there.
My native favorites
1. Email
2. ocNews
3. Calculator
4. People
5. YTPlayer
Other native apps I very much enjoy:
MeeCast
ownCloud
Notes
SysMon
Call Recorder
Messaging. I really need multiple windows, but it is still pretty good.
Poor Maps is getting there. Hopefully I can stop using Android apps soon.
I installed Android just because:
1. Waze - best navigation. period. - Don't know how, but it works GREAT even on 2G, without any offline support, in USA. It's search finds addresses way better than Nokia Here (beta). I also love the impressively reliable social reporting of Cops/Hazard, etc.
2. Whatsapp, Since I have no native choice, I wish Mitakuuluu still worked on my Jolla. Android version interface is really bad compared to Mitakuuluu, which was fun to use. Looking forward to Coderus to come up with a solution.
Community System Patches: (why everyone forgot about these?)
1. Event View Control Center. Cannot use Jolla without this patch.
