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.

thank u in advance!

Remote Android Access

I'm looking for a app or software which I can download on a old, unused android phone to use it as a remote phone, where I could always access it via a app on my PC and it would stay online 24/7 (being plugged into power).

I'm not really a fan of AnyDesk because of its password system and generally is quite slow. Something network related would be nice but has anyone got any suggestions?

A bit like those Chinese phone farms you see which have one central PC controlling and monitoring all other phones, which in this case it would be one but I was also planning to remove the battery, screen and case.

Do you ever buy lifetime plans for apps? What makes it worth it?

Have you ever purchased a lifetime plan for an app instead of a subnoscription? What factors convince you to go for it, price, usefulness, supporting the developer, or something else?

Feedback wanted - Offline AI Photo Enhancer & Upscaler

I’ve been working on an Android app that uses AI to enhance photos offline — focusing on reducing blur, upscaling images, improving low-light photos, and removing haze.

I’d really appreciate feedback on the results so far. I’ve included a simple before/after example below.

Current focus areas:
- Sharpening blurry photos
- Upscaling low-resolution images
- Enhancing low-light or dark photos
- Dehazing images to improve clarity
- Improving overall quality while avoiding unnatural artifacts

I’d especially like feedback on:
- The overall enhancement quality
- Any artifacts or issues you notice
- Whether the UI looks intuitive from the screenshots
- Feature ideas or improvements you’d like to see

Download:

Thanks in advance — honest feedback is very welcome.

Looking for a free text to speech app to read news articles

Currently using elevenreader for this but I'm looking for an app that can cut headers, footers, images, image captions, etc. and don't want to pay the subnoscription required to do that in eleven. anyone know of any apps that can do this for free?

flow I'm looking for is viewing a news article, sharing it to the app, and then having it read just the body of the article to me out loud. bonus points if it offers a read it later option so I can store articles until I want to listen to them

I am not using duolingo anymore after their AI focused approach. What english language app are we using now?

i was fine with duolingo before but this new ai first stuff they announced has me out. lessons feel even more generic now, like the app is just churning out bot made sentences instead of real teaching. contractors gone, everything automated, quality seems lower already. Tried a few recent sessions and its not clicking the same, anyone else dropping it?

What english language app are people switching to that actually work better?

Best Android offline music player

I'm looking for an offline music player. I've been using Namida lately but the app sometimes crashes on my phone and I want to use another app. I'm using Metrolist for streaming, so an offline version of Metrolist (if there's any) would be great. Not into technical details, just want a clean Materal You UI with decent features. Any suggestions?

Has an AI assistant ever earned more of your trust over time?

I’m curious whether trust with AI assistants ever compounds — or if it tends to plateau.

Have you ever started with low-risk tasks and gradually trusted an assistant with more?
Or do the boundaries stay fixed once you draw them?

can't create post on instagram?

on my new tablet (wacom movinkpad 14) , I can't post on instagram with it.
The "next" button do nothing if I create a new post through the "+" button on the side bar. And if I try to create a new post from another way (the "+" from my profile page) insta just crashes.

It seems to work fine with storys or reels. I heard it might be an android problem.

I tried updating insta and my tablet, clearing caches, uninstalling, upload smaller images, nothing seems to work.

Any thoughts ?

automated call connectivity testing

Hello, I was wondering if anybody knew of an application for wireless testing. In general, I am looking for an app to dial a preset number, record current GPS coordinates and if the call connected successfully, then perform the test again in loop.

Thank you

Is there any app that I can listen to and download YT mp3 and mp4 things from?

So, I've had this app called 'Free Music' for quite some time now, and it lets me:

\- Watch YT videos (+on standby)

\- Listen to music (+ on standby)

\- Download videos in mp3/ mp4 format

\- Create custom playlists


However, for some reason, this app doesn't work anymore, as it will no longer let me download anything because 'something went wrong'. I have checked for any updates and it turns out that the app isn't even on the app store anymore! No there is no way it'll update for downloads to come back. I also can't uninstall it because if I do, I can't get it back, and I have 11 custom playlists that I've made that some have 70+ things in :') Plus despite the downloads not working anymore, it is the best app out there (from what I've found), bc it had all the features I needed.


Does anyone know an app that has all the features I've mentioned above and that is safe?? I have tried many alternatives this afternoon and all either won't let me download, don't have the music/ videos I'm looking for, or it's full of ads.

Is mobilsim still good to use? Or are there other alternatives that are easier and simpler to use?

I'm looking to use some sort of mobile software to use in the Sims Freeplay to give myself more levels, money, etc. I've had a look around a few forums as well as Reddit and found that most people recommend mobilsim, but it seems quite complicated. Should I look elsewhere or is it worth spending some time researching how to properly use mobilsim?

If I should stick with the latter, can someone walk me through how to properly use it for the Sims Freeplay? I hope I'm not asking for too much 😅

Thanks very much in advance!

Best Android app for scanning from HP 419 wireless printer/scanner? (Print okay if included)

I have an HP 419 wireless printer/scanner.

Printing on Android is already handled (I use NokoPrinter).
What I really need is a reliable app for scanning wirelessly from the printer.

- Scan support is the priority
- Separate scan app is totally fine
- An app that does scan + print is a bonus
- Open-source preferred, ads are OK
- No camera-only scanner apps please

Any solid recommendations?

Apps with support for live updates.

Is there a list of apps that support the live notification feature introduced in android 16? I was hoping FotMob updates to support this as they do in iOS, but that is not the case yet.

Exposure compensation on Open Camera on main screen

Hi!
I'm using open camera, but I would know if there is a way to have exposure compensation selector allways on screen as it happens in most of the camera mobile apps.

I know you can access to it tapping on the icon, which is very fast, but when you tap again on screen for focusing it disappears, and that's not really usefull for me.

Thanks <3

Tutorial How to access the Android/data folder without Shizuku or a PC

Download Skit App Manager from the Play Store (used to extract the system "Files" app).

Extract the "Files" app and save the APK to your internal storage.

Go to your device Settings > Apps (Note: The menu name may vary depending on your device).

Search for "Files" (the app with the blue icon).
Uninstall its updates. If you can’t find it, search for the package name: com.google.android.documentsui.

The app should now be visible in your app launcher. You can now use it to access the Android > data folder.
Manually update the app using the APK you extracted with Skit.

Note: We do this manually to prevent the Play Store from auto-updating it, which would hide the icon from your launcher again.
Do not disable the app, as this will break file access permissions for your entire system.

Limitations
Batch Actions: Copying or moving multiple files from the Android folder to other directories may not work.
File Size: Moving or copying large files (4GB or larger) is currently not supported.

Extras

Files APK mirror

Files launcher activity
com.android.documentsui.LauncherActivity

You can add a shortcut to the Android/data
Using Material Files too.

Sorry for using the wrong flair.

Text Widget App

I am looking for a good text widget app. I have been trying the ones in the playstore but not finding what i am looking for. Year ago i used to have one that had different fonts and you could save your widgets and have multiple on the screen but for some reason the app has changed and those options are gone.


Are there any good ones out there?
