Let me say I'm sorry I will not include the iOS people in this article, but to be honest I never had an iPhone, but I'm sure some of these apps you will find them on iOS too. These apps was tested and found on Google Play, and I will put a link for every app, except Vanced which is an apk, but I will link their official website.
1. YouTube Vanced
If you are like me probably you spend more time on YouTube than any other site. You get your news from YouTube, your favorite podcast, audiobooks, music and so much more. It's normal that your TV got replaced by YouTube, it's just better. The problem is ads, ads everywhere, even though I can understand them...like who doesn't like money. They get their money from ads, it's ok, probably you and I would do the same thing. That's why in my first spot is YouTube Vanced, it's totally free, works just like YouTube does and the best thing, yep...you guessed it, NO ADS. Also it has YouTube music which is ad free. Oh yeah...and you can also use it in the background.
2. Beta Maniac
If you like to participate in app beta programs easily, then this app is just for you. This application scans every beta program from Google Play and notifies you when there is a free spot in a application's beta program. If you want to give feedback and test apps before anyone else then you'll love this place. Oh yeah...the dark theme is already included, don't worry.

3. Khan Academy
You can learn everything for FREE
To be honest I didn't love school either so I can understand you. Whatever we can say and think we can agree on one thing, school is important. If you missed out school for a reason or another, now you can learn everything you want from your phone. If you already in school get a head start by preparing yourself with this amazing app. Virtual learning is a reality now, and a free one.

4. Photomath
Yeah well... sometimes even when we like school we like to take shortcuts, and this app does it better than anybody. This app is just amazing. It can read written math calculation and show you how can you solve them, step by step. I know that the lockdown are still a thing in some countries and online school is still normal at the moment, so yeah...use this app now before it's too late.
