installing apps

because the device doesn't have google play services, you have to side load apps.

apps that I use regularly on my hisense touch—

aio launcher: my favorite android launcher
unlauncher: my second favorite android launcher
mAbook: fantastic audiobook player, unfortunately you have to install a cracked apk as purchasing the full version requires google play services
anki: i enjoy studying japanese and reviewing decks on my android devices
syncthing: useful for automatically syncing files between my computers and android devices
tachiyomi: great manga reading app
moon+ reader pro: pretty solid android e-reader app. not optimized for e-ink but works well enough. I've also tested koreader, which is optimized for eink, but find the interface displeasing. technically it's a more powerful app, and it's also open source—I should probably switch to koreader.
spotify: works as expected, interface is dark but usable
