Android App requests / Looking for an app that does X - thread

I just acquired the Xperia z5 and I'm rather disappointed that it has no integrated video calling app like my Samsung galaxy had. Any suggestions for an app that won't require the other party to have same installed?
 
Looking for a good (read free) camera app that's at least better than the Google camera my phone came with. Suggestions?

The Google one is actually about the best, at least the fastest, unless you wanting one with dozens of pointless features that's slower than natural deaths.
 
I'm a recovering Appleholic, so I should probably give it a fair go. Probably just need to get used to it, thanks :)

Not sure what read free is, but camera360 is pretty awesome. On google camera, or the stock camera app that is my phone takes grainy pictures, camera360 makes all the pictures look smooth and professional. And this is Hisense U980, so by default the camera is crappy.
 
Open camera used to be a bit glitchy but now it's top notch. Has basically the same feature set of the Camera apps that cost around R50.

My favourite settings are one touch pic taking(just touch on the screen where you want focus and it takes the shot immediately) and torch mode which puts the flash on permanently. I leave it set up that way and I can take a well lit pic(seems with the torch mode the light is more even/less harsh and additionally it allows you to see the subject to compose the pic if there's poor light) in an instant, that's more for recording info than creative use, cellphones with good cameras are amazing that way, take a pic of whatever item or info you may need later and it's recorded in high res instantly.

For creative use it has exposure lock and a pretty decent intervalometer(take a number of shots at timed intervals). Has a number of other settings and can do video.

I use Open Camera because it's the only camera app that allows the OnePlus One to shoot continuous video. The phone has a built in time limit for video, and Open Camera allows you to create new video files of a specified time length. I think the OPO shuts down the recording just after 16 minutes, so I set Open Camera to create 15 minute files.

I don't often need such long video recording, but when you want it it's great to have.
 
What's are the best free clipboard apps?
The ones that just collect what you copy onto a list, doesn't have to pop up when you select a blank area to paste something.

What?
Some of the best apps are free and have no ads but due to how opaque the Play store is its not always so easy to track them down, hence asking!
 
Which of the camera apps (paid or free) can do auto at 21 MP (or at least something greater than 8)?
 
Im looking for a app similiar to google now cards. I just want one widget that can display current value of stock on whichever stockmarket.

The default one on google now updates intermittently and sometimes not at all and there is no place to set the time during updates.
