| org.gnome.Podcasts "My favorite podcast app. Simple, nice interface. There is still a bit of feature missing, so the rating 4. If there appear some changes suggested in 'Issue Tracker', I will change to 5." |

| geary "The best mail client on Linux. Beautiful. Modern. Minimalist. Well designed. You can really rely on it. It's really useful. Unfortunately, this version is very old (from 2018). Use the flatpak version, which up-to-date." |

| org.gnome.Geary "The best mail client on Linux. Beautiful. Modern. Minimalist. Well designed. You can really rely on it. It's really useful. There have been serious problems with the flatpak before, but since version 3.36.2, the flatpak works flawlessly." |

| shotwell "The interface is not beautiful, but it's okay – clear and tidy. I really like adding labels to photos by clicking Ctrl+T, so you can easily browse only specific photo collections later. You can assign a photo to one or more labels. A list of labels then appears in the sidebar. Fantastic is that if a photo/video is not imported, you have the option of saving a .txt file with a detailed log listing things not imported." |

| org.telegram.desktop "Telegram is awesome. Overall, this flatpak works well. The only thing that doesn't work is dragging and dropping a file from a folder/desktop into the Telegram window. Then an error occurs. Also cursor looks bad." |

| telegram-desktop "This version is very-very outdated. Do not install it. It is better to manually install the official website version or flatpak." |

| img2pdf "At first I thought it would take too long to create a PDF from, let's say, 14 JPGs without a GUI. However, it takes surprisingly little time. I set Nemo and terminal next to each other, type "img2pdf" and then drag all the pictures, one by one, to the terminal. At the end I add "-o something.pdf", hit enter and in a moment PDF is created. Of course it would be nice to have a simple tool with GUI, but still img2pdf is very nice." |

| libreoffice "LibreOffice is amazing. One of the best open source programs there is. It's amazing how configurable it is - by default it has all these toolbars, sidebar and icons, but if you want, you can turn it into a minimalist window. I use it to write blog texts, keep a diary (words + photos), collect notes for my text gam" |

| io.lbry.lbry-app "Fantastic platform. It works great, it is independent and decentralized, because it is based on blockchain. The interface is clean and easy to use. I watch Bryan Lunduke's and Gardiner Bryant's videos only on LBRY. It is true that you have to pay the LBC, their own crypto-currency, to publish your videos, but don't worry about it - from the very beginning you get the LBC every step of the way - for watching movies, subscribing to channels, updating your app. And later your viewers start sending you LBC-tips. The LBC is no problem at all." |
