Looks abandoned.

Abandoned, still connects to Sentry. Upstream PR for that still open & no response from the Owner, which is why F-Droid team fixed it from their side.

The app doesn't offer anything better than the other two candidates anyway.

Looks modern with reasonable size. @shuvashish76: Opinions? If everything is right, we can replace Binary Eye with it. The UI/UX of Binary Eye hasn't been improved in the past few years.

I think the only issue I have with this app is that the Internet features are enabled by default (ie. “Query remote API automatically” is enabled by default) which shouldn't be for any reason. Let me explain a bit in case you haven't actually tried the app:
The app has “Open Food Facts” API enabled by default. It's not like that people only scans for food-related barcode. In a super shop, you can scan barcodes related to food, beauty, music — anything. So, it's not ideal to have it enabled anyway. Besides, after scanning the barcode, there's already an option to fetch results using one of the APIs. So, I don't see why this option should be enabled or query automatically by default. If it's intended to be one of the primary or highlighted features, it should be highlighted/featured during the first run (and prompt user to enable it) instead of enabling it by default.

OK. There are a few other minor issues:

Root
No root
We don't have many choice when it comes to battery managers without root for obvious reasons.

I would suggest BCL for root mode. Battery Tool is like Greenify but not really that effective.
I've used BatteryBot Pro. Good for statistics, but as you said, it doesn't really manage battery. I've never used SaveTuner, so I'm not sure how it works. I'll look into this.

Firefox cannot be added. We've already added a privacy-friendly alternative called “Mull” (by Divest OS).

Cannot be added because we've added Mull which is better than Fennec.

DDG browser is as bad as their search engine which is basically Bing (and this is basically a WebView).

A better alternatively, Cromite is already added which is better than Brave as it does not have all the Brave telemetry services and advertisements.

I think yetCalc is the best among the candidates. But I'm yet to find a calculator capable of replacing my favourite Calculator++ (I wish somebody will continue the project).

Requires a review to keep only one out of the two. @shuvashish76: Opinions?

Etar supports multiple offline calendars though you don't get as frequent updates as SCP. SCP paid on playstore vs Etar free. Both project active & stable enough for daily use. SCP is their 2nd popular (based on GH stars) app from SMT, so I know a lots of users use it. Need to use it for longer time for proper review. Give us your review @DodoLeDev

Initial comparison table
SCP gains more points than Etar.

Etar calendars are visible to other apps e.g Tasks, no such feature for SCP. SCP events visible to that app only.
Agreed 👍

This wasn't considered because this is not something the app should do. It should be managed by a separate calendar provider (e.g. DecSync). Calendar, contacts, etc. in Android is divided into providers and clients for giving users the freedom to choose their favourite clients, and ideally, these clients should never be installed in the system partition (should be installed as user apps during initial setup). There was such a minimal OS called Magma Moonshine (only 4/5 launcher apps) which, unfortunately, was discontinued due to lack of time.

So... Should we keep both apps, or remove Etar from the list?

I think Etar should be removed in favour of SCP. Etar has some good features but it's still less appealing than SCP in terms of features that a typical user's looking for.

AFAIK, Simple Dialer is the only dialer app which is able to disable proximity sensor, and that was a game-changer for one of my smartphones which has a broken proximity sensor!

Require reviews. I think RadioDroid offers better features (e.g. recording and filtering) than both but it's not maintained anymore. I use a customised fork for my own use.

RadioDroid is back again. Although the UI is not as modern as the others, the features it offers are more appealing that these two.
