There are a handful of Android apps I simply must install on every phone I use, and Obtanium is near the top of that list. I can’t imagine living without this app; it’s the glue that holds non-Play Store apps together. Essentially, it serves as a central hub for installing, updating, and adding apps from other sources, such as F-Droid, GitHub, or the vivo Store.
Of course, this is only half the equation — there’s no point in using Obtanium if you don’t load it up with useful apps. To make your experience more seamless, I’ve compiled a short list of essential Android apps that I install and update through Obtanium. You can easily find and install these on your own phone using Obtanium’s built-in search functionality.
