Avoid closed source applications as a first preference. Closed source applications hide their source code and so can not be freely verified as to their behaviour in terms of security and privacy. Privacy and freedom are important to us all and we should install open source applicxations when ever we can. The following closed source alternative apps may suit individual needs but they are not particularly recommended over the open source alternatives that may exist!
| class | application | play store | mirror |
|---|---|---|---|
| music | poweramp | apkmirror | |
| pod catcher | beyond pod | apkmirror | |
| silence | silent time | apkmirror |
