In case you don't know about Serval, very good for short range comms but it won't give you anonymity

Nice post! apkpure and f-droid is all I use now and I recommend staying far away from Google Play.

The Serval Mesh is really cool stuff. Turns your cell phone into an elegant 2-way radio. Short range, but requires zero cell network connection. TRIfA is another product that is getting better as it grows, based on tox protcol. Keys words to look for when searching products like this; distributed, end to end (p2p?) encryption, open source (FOSS).

Thanks! Looks useful, but lots of apps have spyware embedded, right? Are you sure this apps is on the up-and-up.
