Does google hate android apps?

Just as there noscript says. Like I'm mainly talking about Android not even apple. I just wanted to create a new label for my email in Gmail and then I just got to know that you can't create labels with the Android app. I had to go open Gmail in a browser and create it there via desktop mode.
That's not all. Google tasks does not have the feature to archive a list which is bad but okay. In android Google tasks can't even hide a list like it can for the web app. Similar stuff about creating calendars is there for GCal. At this point, does google even want you to use the Android apps?

MS Lens Retirement: PDF Scan Alternatives

Microsoft announces the retirement of the MS Lens app with this announcement.

Can you suggest some good alternatives for PDF scanning?
I would prefer something open source, but it’s not strictly necessary.

Suspicious APK installed, no app exists

I installed a pirated APK and it doesn't appear as an app.

It's definitely a virus because it doesn't appear and I only see the update option. How can I remove the installation and installed files?


Or is there a good antivirus program I can scan for?

I have installed too many App Stores. Which ones are redundant and best to keep?

Hi everyone,

Over time I’ve gone down the rabbit hole of installing different app stores and APK updaters (for F-Droid repos, GitHub releases, etc.). Now my phone is cluttered, and I want to debloat.

Here is the list:
(Google Play Store)
GitHub Store
Dragon Store
Discoverium
Aurora Store
Droid-ify
Orion Store
Obtainium
F-Droid
Neo Store

Which ones are duplications of each other? Which combination do you personally use and recommend?

How to mute notifications

How can I mute notifications, specifically all of them, and only enable the ones I truly desire with sound? I can only find the option to mute individual notifications in the status bar. However, it would take an extended period of time to mute them all there. Is there another way to accomplish this?



I have heard about Buzzkill. Would that be a viable o

Redirect touch for tiny buttons

Redirect touch for tiny buttons

I need an app that is able of redirecting touches from a bigger area into a specific location that has a tiny button.

Some games have no option to configure the touch controls.

Some buttons are really important to not miss click.

But for some reason, developers will not improve that...

So, there is auto click apps, and also overlay apps that have buttons. They can surely be mixed into one app!

Does such app exists already?

Bluetooth Device Manager

Im looking for an app that can control which devices are connected to my phone at what time.

My primary frustration is that my truck Bluetooth keeps trying to steal the connection from my headphones.

Ideally I'd like an app that lets me assign priorities to the Bluetooth connection so that for example, my phone will always connect to my headphones if they are out, but when they are not my phone will still autocorrect to my truck.

It would also be nice to have certain devices that are still remembered by my phone, but will only connect when I tell them to and never auto connect.

Tablet for Work Frustrations

I bought a Lenovo Idea Tab Pro, and case with keyboard, and was so excited to have it replace my laptop for light to medium work while on the road/traveling.

Frustrations and disappointment would be an understatement at this time. The tablet itself, I think is really good, especially for the price. But the process or ability of using it for even basic general productivity tasks really hampers it's ability to replace a laptop.

Emails- extremely critical to my work. On my PC, I use outlook (far from perfect obviously but it's what has worked for decades mostly). On my phone, I use Nine. So I tried Nine on the tablet. And guess what, it doesn't have Reply All as an option. It also doesn't open emails in a separate window. Borderline useless. Tried Outlook, and when using a mouse, scrolling is limited, so you're stuck going back and forth from a mouse to touchscreen. And again, it also will not open email in a separate window.

Excel- Excel is a joke on android. I kinda knew that going in but was hoping with a little practice and tweaks I could make it work. Not a chance. WPS office is showing promise but my suspicion is that it will be fine for basic functions like =SUM() but beyond that will be very limited (which is OK, I can live with that).

File Explorers- I reference multiple files often, and require multiple file explorers to be open simultaneously. Not happening with any of the file explorers I've tried so far.

Has anyone successfully replaced their laptop for light/medium basic productivity? Any help/suggestions/tips you can pass along?

Is there any good AI based video translator?

There are tons of video translators now but quality seems all over the place. Some sound okay but look off, others translate well but feel unnatural. Which one do you for interviews or educational videos?

Best Android apps to watch movies, TV shows, and live TV in one place? (Looking for real recommendations)

I’m trying to find a good Android app that lets me watch or at least easily find movies TV shows and live TV

I’m tired of jumping between different apps just to see where something is streaming

I want something that either lets you watch directly Withouts ads or shows you where everything is available

Bonus if it works in many countries has a clean design and does not force you to make many accounts

What apps do you personally use for watching or discovering movies shows and live TV on Android

Looking for real recommendations not just the obvious ones everyone already knows

Any good weather app for UK recommended?

I am trying to put a widget displaying hourly weather in a small space at home page. Met office used to do the works well, which can show hourly in 1 row. If remove such convenient function after updates. I browse around different apps but none provides such function. Most take up ridiculous amount of space to show 1 row of content. The met office widget requires minimum 4x2 to do so which is the smallest I could find at the moment.

Any suggest for alternative?

Listy Alternatives

Sorry if this isn't the right flair, but does anyone know an alternative to Listy? It's a nice list app, cool ui, but lacking some features like importing a list, folders, ratings, etc.

I've tried searching, but I couldn't find anything.
