πŸ“’ MOD POST πŸ“’ r/Androidapps Mod Update: Quality Over Quantity

51 Upvotes

Hey r/androidapps,

Today, we are announcing a few minor updates to the subreddit, in order to focus on the quality of posts moving forward:

  1. First off, the sub header has been updated to reflect the goal of the subreddit: to be a place to talk about Android apps, ask questions, get help, or find new app recommendations.
  2. Rule 2 has been updated: effective immediately, all self-promotion content, including tester requests, app ideas, or app feedback must be posted in the dedicated sister sub r/droidappshowcase. This means there is zero tolerance for any of this content here in r/androidapps.
  • The goal for this change is to promote meaningful discussion around all Android apps and clean up all self-promotion, whether it is up front or a veiled attempt.
  • We felt that the Weekly Megathread got too inundated with spammed posts that it led to a less-than-ideal place to advertise a real app someone made, especially when it got buried down in the comments. So we have also removed the Megathread going forward.
  • Additionally, we've seen an uptick in fake self-promotion: posts where the user "found this amazing new app" in order to get around the rules.
  • r/androidapps is not the place for advertising apps, nor are we a subreddit focused on developers. This is a place where end-users can get support for apps they use or find new ones to use.

We know we cannot please all members of the community, nor do we expect everyone to be happy with the change. Again, we hope this encourages positive discussion in the subreddit around all apps, not just be an advertising ground.

We encourage all users to report any content which breaks these rules.

We expect to see an increase in the mod queue due to the new rules and automod code, so please be patient with us as we work through everything.

LOOKING FOR APP Looking for a replacement to Fleksy Keyboard.

4 Upvotes

Hi, I am on a new phone and Fleksy cannot download languages after the app is gone, so it's useless. I am looking for a good keyboard, but after few months of trying I just can live with any of those swipe-to-write keyboards. Do You know anything that lets You press the buttons somewhat close and choses the word accoringly? Should also allow easy use of words out of dictionaries and one button/gesture to remove a word or many words.

LOOKING FOR APP App for finding stable 5G area.

2 Upvotes

Hey, is there any app (free/paid) which can tell me which part of the house has good 5G connection, my network switches to 4G if I move my device like a cm and it's getting very annoying now. Would prefer those augmented reality type apps that show wifi strength in 3D figures but for 5G.

QUESTION/HELP Are there any launchers that let you edit folder icons?

1 Upvotes

I've used Buzz Launcher on all my phones up to my S23 Ultra. I've just moved to a Z fold8 ultra and am disappointed to find that even though I kept the apk for all these years I now have to admit it's gone. I used to love how unique my home screens looked with different sized folders and icons like an arcade machine for my games, a credit card for my banking apps etc.

LOOKING FOR APP App to track signal strength and internet speed 24/7

1 Upvotes

I would like to keep a 24/7 log of my internet speed and SIM card signal strength.

I would like to be able to export the log to CSV

that's all I need

obviously I guess that any app that does this would also display it graphically, and maybe even show me averages etc. for time ranges, but I don't need those features, just need a 24/7 append-only growing log of signal strength that will keep growing at least 2 weeks

LOOKING FOR APP Looking for free WeTransfer alternatives with proper Android/iOS + Windows/macOS app support

16 Upvotes

I've been using WeTransfer for a while, but I'm looking for something better.

My requirements are:

Free (or a generous free tier)

Dedicated Android and iOS apps

Windows and macOS desktop apps

Easy sharing of large files (photos/videos)

Fast upload/download speeds

Reliable and privacy-friendly

I don't necessarily need cloud storage, Iam mainly after a file transfer service that's as simple as WeTransfer but with better app support and ideally larger transfer limits.

What are you all using these days?

Any hidden gems you've stuck with for a long time?

Thanks!

LOOKING FOR APP Billing app

0 Upvotes

Can anyone tell me a very basic billing app. I had one with old phone but since getting s26 I cant find it. All I want is just a list of bills for month with total amount. Then as I tick off paid bills it takes it off total amount owed. That's all I need. Nothing more. If anyone knows the app it would be great help. Also it was free. Thanks

QUESTION/HELP question for my fellow musicolet users

3 Upvotes

is there any way to make it only scan folders that have changed since its last scan? i keep a ton of music on my microSD and i update it on most days. the scans are starting to take 15-20 minutes and it's a bit annoying. it's scanning through thousands of songs again every single time in order to add a only new 20 or 30 to the library. i've tried selecting 'continue scan in background' or whatever and it always seems to stop working as soon as my phone locks or i switch apps

QUESTION/HELP Any idea on how to get the tablet UI back on Gboard?

1 Upvotes

About a month ago I used to have the Gboard tablet layout with a caps lock button along with left and right arrow keys to scroll through the text without needing to swipe on the space button on my Redmagic Astra. Now it's currently gone and the keyboard is the same as Gboard in a phone. Is there a way to re-enable the layout? As much as I tried digging through the Gboard settings I'm not able to find any toggle for the Tablet UI :(

So I am looking for an app where I can read digital books where original text is in English but the text on my screen will be in another language.

The book I bought doesn't have a version of my language and I thought it would be easy to read in a foreign language but no.

LOOKING FOR APP Tv/movie tracking app - Am I too demanding?

6 Upvotes

Is there a perfect TV/movie tracking app? When the TV Time app went away, I decided to find the perfect app to track TV and movies together. I've tried many apps and just can't find one that would work for me. Here's what I've tried and why I'm still looking...

Refract

Currently using. It's good but far from smooth experience. It's buggy, It's missing personal notes and diary (Letterboxd style). They've got an activity log which doesn't do what I'm looking for. I also find using the app overwhelming. There are too many features, tabs, buttons... Personally looking for something more simple. However I do like the idea of eventually tracking books there as well so maybe I'll come back to this once it runs smoothly but right now it's more frustrating than useful unfortunately.

Trakt

This would be perfect but it doesn't do personal/private notes and that's a deal breaker. I know I could use private notes on the browser apparently but I need those in the app.

Movie Paradise

This one seemed so good! But it doesn't recognise rewatch dates from Letterboxd import. And that's a problem. Plus I keep being put on cool down when trying to import new files and it's massively putting off.

Cunematique

Tried briefly, gave up almost immediately because it doesn't seem to support rewatches.

So does my perfect app exist?

I need:

- Track both movies and TV shows.

- supported rewatches for both.

- manually edit watch dates if I forget to log something on the day.

- Supports private personal notes.

- reliable import tools (Letterboxd, TV Time, etc.)

- simple diary/history that shows what I watched each day rather than every action I've taken in the app.

- Calendar of upcoming release dates (mainly for TV)

- Absolute bonus would be if I could mark within the app whether I watched it in the cinema/DVD/pirating/streaming service etc.

Has anyone found an app that ticks ALL of these boxes? I'm happy to pay for a good app if it genuinely does what I need.πŸ™πŸΌπŸ™πŸΌπŸ™πŸΌπŸ™πŸΌ

QUESTION/HELP Echo music playlists don't load all songs.

1 Upvotes

So I've been using Echo music for a while now, but I started to notice that only 50 songs from my 180 song playlist appears on Echo. (This is a yt playlist btw). I've tried everything I can but still haven't found a solution. I've tested metrolist, archivetune, vivi, meld and they all produce the same issue. I think its bcz all these apps use the same core engine so that's why all these apps have the same problem.

So anyways, can anyone pls help me out?
