DroidShows vs PipePipe
Side-by-side comparison of two open source alternatives
DroidShows
TV Series/TV Shows browser and tracker based on https://f-droid.org/packages/org.droidseries. It helps you manage your favorite TV shows and keep track of the episodes that you have or have not seen. This fork adds quite a bunch of features, among which an improved interface, a menu overflow button, pinning, quick search and filters, a separate archive/backlog list, a last seen episodes log, swipe gestures, more show information, backup/restore, double episode entries clean-up, faster updating, cover and fan art view, a modern launcher icon and it speeds up responsiveness significantly by (more) efficient SQL queries and some threading. DroidShows only needs an internet connection when updating the show info or watching full-size posters.
PipePipe
NewPipe, reimagined: faster, more stable, and packed with more features. Beyond NewPipe * SponsorBlock (YouTube & BiliBili) * ReturnYouTubeDislike * Bullet comments / Live Chats * Search filters * Search & sort in local playlists * Filter out unwanted items by keywords/channels/... * Music player mode & Background playing * Sleep timer * Fullscreen gestures * Login to watch restricted / premium contents * … and many minor improvements
