F-Droid is an installable catalogue of FOSS (Free and Open Source Software) applications for the Android platform. The client makes it easy to browse, install, and keep track of updates on your device.
IzzyOnDroid is an F-Droid style repository for Android apps, provided by IzzyOnDroid. Applications in this repository are official binaries built by the original application developers, taken from their resp. repositories (mostly Github).
Chrono is extremely good for me, given often having to have alarms in the oddest of times, and it allowing me to schedule alarms as one-time only, daily, for specific weekdays, for specific dates, or for date ranges, as well as having the options to force to work in the background if lack of memory in the phone kills it.
As for alternatives I wish I could find, Librera Reader is still the best ebook reader I found outside of Google Play, but I could use it having better controls. Might even take the dust off my PS Vita to read ebooks, as I abhor touch controls due to them usually not being optimized for either precision or view space available (even on-screen controls might help), and on the Vita I can use the physical controls to move the ebooks' pages around.
