  I like Mobialia chess mentioned by @Istvan Chung. It has decent support for most common uses of FICS.
  
  The following are additional options. I have all of them since each of them provide unique advantage over the other based on what you are trying to do:
  
  1. [Chess](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=jwtc.android.chess) by Jeroen Carolus is a hidden gem. There are lots of features meant for FICS including custom commands.
  2. [Yafi](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=pl.mg6.yafi) is also worth a try.
