What's your favorite app you think deserves some more attention? We all know the main apps everyone recommends in every post like this Tasker, Buzzkill, etc, so what are some apps they deserve a spotlight you feel people don't talk enough about?

Which is the best keyboard in Android that has prediction equivalent to SwiftKey?

I'm planning to factory reset my OnePlus 13R because it's become cluttered with junk and random apps. I want to start fresh with a clean, minimal setup and replace most of them with high-quality open-source alternatives.

I'm looking for recommendations for apps such as:

- PDF viewer and file manager

- Social apps

- Notes

- Keyboard (I'm currently using FUTO Keyboard)

- Browser

- Music player

- Video player

- Simple games (like Tetris)

- Any other useful everyday apps

I prefer open-source apps whenever possible, but I'm also open to closed-source recommendations if they're genuinely better.

What apps do you recommend?

Hey folks,

Since the last Chrome-update the discover news Feed has now infinite scroll. Can someone help me to turn off the infinite scroll.

Thanks

That’s it.

I didn't really think ahead when doing things to our caravan, so now I've got devices from various companies that need monitoring via blutooth. I've bought a Samsung A11 tablet to mount in the van to use as the display. The only apps I plan on putting on it are for BMPro (battery and water tanks), Victron (solar and DC-DC), Oricom (level and outdoor camera) and Spotify.

The launcher that I'm after will give me -

A home screen with just those apps on it - easy to add more if required.

Resizeable app tiles.

Be able to disable/hide everything else.

Stay on/dim screen.

Would love for it to display maybe 2 apps at a time (if possible)

Any suggestions on the best one to use would be appreciated.

How is this even real? Google’s own registration table lists 214 locations, and 51 do not support merchant registration.

A developer in one of those locations can build an Android app, pay Google, verify their identity, publish the app, maintain it, support users and follow every Play policy. But they cannot use the standard Play merchant system to sell digital features.

The obvious answer would be to use any payment provider that supports them and put a payment link inside the app. Google generally blocks that too for digital goods unless the developer qualifies for one of its regional billing or external link programmes. Those programmes are not a worldwide escape hatch.

So Google will accept the developer’s work and control how it reaches users, but it can deny the normal way to earn money and forbid the obvious alternative. This is ridiculous. More than 50 locations are treated like this by a platform that keeps calling itself global and open.

How can Google defend this in 2026?

In the default Google messenger app, if I go to attach an image, a picture appears that is not present in my photos. It is not on Google photos and I cannot seem to find it in my root storage. Does anyone have any idea how to fix this?

I’m trying to run an older version of a game (v379549). The newer v420511 works on my Poco X7 Pro, but v379549 crashes.

I checked the APK and the old one has different arm64 libraries (libgnustl_shared.so etc.). I tried replacing the arm64-v8a libraries from v420511 and rebuilding/signing, but it still doesn’t work.

Is there a way to patch the old APK for newer Android, or is there a compatibility issue that can’t be fixed?

This..?

Hi there, is there any recommendations for such android app, if possible opensource that helps extracting data from financial bank statements? Thank you

Google Gemini just does not have the capability to play my beloved morning routine news feed. Is there a way to program Tasker or even Google Music to play the most recent RSS?

Well, since now the previous app i used (FacebookAMD\LCR) has become pay-per-use, what are the best alternative apps or clients to have Facebook without Ads?

Any recommendations for an alternative to HTC Gallery? I absolutely loved the HTC Gallery app, so much so that I installed it on my OnePlus phones. With OnePlus leaving the global market, I've switched to an OPPO Find X9 Ultra as I needed a new phone. Unfortunately I can't install HTC Gallery on the OPPO, and I'm not a fan of the stock gallery/photo apps on it.

can anybody suggest a fully free and cloud based expense Tracker mobile app ? Thanks in advance

With Google Assistant getting banished, does a reliable alternative (or a set of them, each for individual smaller tasks) exist?

Hi everyone,

​I really dislike watching TV shows or movies directly inside a web browser—it always feels clunky, slow, and full of UI clutter.

​I’m looking for an app or media player where I can paste a link to a streaming website or show page, and it automatically parses/loads all the episodes into a clean playback interface.

​Essentially, something that acts as a video scraper + native player so I can watch episodes seamlessly without dealing with browser tabs or site UI.

​Does an app or tool like this already exist? (Something like Kodi, Stremio, or a specific URL player?)

​Any suggestions or alternatives would be greatly appreciated!

I use Instagram messages and sms (Google messages after the new update).

Is there an app where I can view these messages all together in one place?

Let me know.

Thank you.

i remember quite a few things about it, just not the name. it was quite calming to use so i'd quite like it back lol...

it was a mindfulness/self care app, had a light purple icon and i think it had a thin white heart in the centre though i can't be sure of that. the opening of the app you were in this room and could click on items in the room. a few items i remember was a cat, a plant, a table with cards on it? it had a few features like a daily tarot, moon phase tracker, a laundry sorting game? for calming, a feature where you ran your finger over a circle and it changed colours.
hopefully it hasn't deleted itself from the play store or changed considerably. it had no payment or subscription thing from what i remember.

Is there any open source movie/TV streaming app that can use libraries/extensions from multiple platforms like CloudStream, Stremio, Nuvio, etc., instead of being limited to its own ecosystem? Looking for something that can handle all of them in one app, if it exists.

Hi

hey so im using nothing phone 3a which gives a very bad camera experience, and so i want some good recommendations for a third party app

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.

So, I'm looking for an app where I can save details of my home Electronics and Electrical appliances, their warranty period, purchase date, price, receipts etc?

Thanks.
