Hey guys, I’m planning to have a trip to Japan on the 19th.

Are there any apps that you would recommend installing?

As for now, I’m looking for: currency converter, two clocks widget app (Japan+home), weather app, and any other suggestions. TY.

    Cirrus for weather, Currencies for, well, currency conversion, LavSeeker for searching public toilets.

    All are available on F-Droid.

    Organic Maps. Make sure you download the areas beforehand. The resolution for walking paths is much nicer, and you can clearly see the routes of temples and other points of interest.

    It also shows data about drinking faucets, toilets, and other things provided by users.

    I usually put all the relevant travel data in my Joplin notebook. If the tickets are availible as .passkey files I manage them with PassAndroid. Transportr for public transportation. Wireguard if you need to access your home network via VPN.

      Thanks I just tried PassAndroid, pretty slick! I was using KDE Itinerary (way more features and always improving, but not too polished yet) to manage tickets before, now I have an alternative.

      Regarding wireguard I always used WG Tunnel from f-droid, I’m looking at the official Wireguard app screenshots and it seems to have the same functionality (easy config import via QR scan, notification shade button), maybe it looks prettier. Not on f-droid, that’s why I didn’t come across it before.

    Handy to have an offline translation dictionary. I’ve used QuickDic for languages I know how to type, but I notice there are a bunch of more specialised Japanese dictionary apps in F-Droid that can search by radical or OCR if you don’t type or understand the characters.
