Video compressor app that preserves metadata including location data?

Are there any Android apps that compress video files while also preserving metadata – including location/GPS coordinates – for the compressed output file?

I know the FFShare Android app can preserve metadata when compressing both image and video files but it absolutely refuses to preserve location data for MP4 files. And unfortunately Google Photos doesn't let you add location data to video files unless they're uploaded to Google Drive, which is a problem if you don't have enough space or otherwise don't want such videos on the cloud. I've used quite a few video compressor apps that preserve metadata including location when I was using iOS, but I haven't been able to find any Android apps that can despite researching for some time.

Does anyone know of any such apps? It'd also be a bonus if they were open source.

Thanks in advance.

Paid Android apps forgetting that I paid.

I recently had some strange issues after Play Store updated where it kept crashing. I tried clearing data but this did not help. I thought I might trying clearing Play Services Data. I also then noticed an option to uninstall Play Store updates. One of these seemed to fix the issue.


After clearing Play Services, I noticed alot of issues with apps. Lots of permissions being lost and not auto requested again so it took a while to re-enable those.

Finally, I had several paid apps where when I opened them, they immediately told me I need to pay and forwarded me to the play store. The only fix I found was to reinstall the apps.


However there is one app "LiveATC" that won't work. For whatever reason, when I go to the play store now, it says my phone is no longer supported (eventhough it was working fine). This means I can't reinstall it.

I even managed to download the APK from the store using aurora store and manually installing the apk via ADB but it didnt fix anything, still fowarding me to the play store.


Is there any solution to my issue to get it to realize I paid so I can use the app again?


BTW, play store auto updated again and started crashing again.

Got a good wallpaper app that doesn't allow ai?

Used Zedge once upon a time, switched over to Backdrops once the AI garbage infested Zedge, and Backdrops now too has a ton of AI.

Ai "art" is garbage.

please tell me there's some legitimate ones left

Looking for an app for random wallpapers

I've used to use an app called "SB Wallpaper Changer", but it would seem it got so deprecated and abandoned, it's no longer available. I liked its features for changing the wallpaper every x minutes, on unlock and on double tap on home screen and the fact it had no problem with my 3000+ wallpapers folder. Though I had to keep my wallpapers on my phone memory as it's so old it couldn't ask for microSD access. Now I'm looking for anything similar since it would seem that for whatever reason Android still doesn't have such a basic feature as random wallpaper from a folder every x minutes. Would be nice if the app was open source, as of now I'm using "Paperize", but it often crashes and sometimes zooms way too much on the "Fill" setting. (I guess that's when it crashes, because it can work fine on the same wallpaper.)

I'm looking for a free unlimited music app that you can download songs and listen to offline. Any suggestions?

I used to use treble and then they put a song limit on it. So I'm looking for something like that without a limit and that's free.

Looking for a keyboard that has the following requirements:

So I've tried before both Gboard and Microsoft SwiftKey but i need a best of both worlds keyboard, what im looking at is a keyboard that's close to these features:

1. A LOT (and i mean all of the new) selection of the emojis, cuz gboard doesn't seem to have some emojis such as 🫡

2. A clipboard (obviously), and perhaps a tool to edit text (like select all, go left and right, paste... Etc)

3. Maybe the entire symbols graph, just like on windows and such, or at least maybe a feature that allows you to add new keys (similar to a clipboard but like it adds to the symbols button, ik, im asking for a lot)

4. An actually good word suggestions (moving from gboard to Microsoft SwiftKey, i noticed that it's word suggestions are less accurate than in gboard)

5. And finally: the ability to customize the keyboard: background, accent color, height, modes like floating and sided... Etc

This sounds like a setup for an ultimate keyboard, if i had the power to make one i would definitely do it

Cache cleaner

Is there a good cache cleaner?

Where you can go through all of your installed apps and just uncheck the ones you don't want cleaned, hit a button and BOOM, you are cleaned out?

Macrodroid or Tasker in 2026?

Hello everyone,

I am thinking about things to optimiser my android usage.
I heard about macrodroid and Tasker.
Tasker seems more complete.

What do you think is the best between the 2?

Thank you

Is there an app that lets you pull down the notification bar?

The top of my phone is damaged and the touch screen isn't working in that area. I need something that functions as a button whose sole purpose is to pull down the notification bar.

Recording call in Europe

Hi,
I’m in Europe (Germany/Italy) and call recording on Android is basically impossible.
I’ve tried:
*Google Phone app (disabled in EU)
*Play Store apps (only my voice / unreliable)
*Accessibility hacks, Bluetooth, hardware recorders, ROMs → all bad or impractical
Recording calls is legal in many EU countries if you inform the other party, so this is a technical restriction by Google, not a legal one.
Question for developers:
Is it realistically possible to build an Android app that records both sides on modern Android versions without root?
Looking for honest technical insight.
Ps: how much does it cost....
Thanks.

Looking for feedback from Android users on a document scanner app

Hi,

I’m the developer of an Android app called **DocuSnap** that I’ve been maintaining for some time now. I originally built it to solve my own need for scanning documents and managing PDFs without relying on multiple apps.

The app supports basic document scanning, PDF creation, simple editing (crop, split , merge, compress, sign , draw ), image export from PDF and OCR for text extraction. I’m at a point where outside feedback would be really useful.

I’m **not posting this as an ad** — I’m genuinely looking for:

* UX feedback
* Missing features you expect from scanner apps
* Things that feel unnecessary or annoying

If anyone’s willing to try it and share honest feedback, I’d really appreciate it.

Play Store link (for testers):
[https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.acme.docusnap](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.acme.docusnap&utm_source=chatgpt.com)

Thanks in advance — happy to answer any questions or take criticism.

Android planner apps for college that handle assignments + calendar + deadlines + attachments/photos

Hey,, I’m a college student on Android and I’m trying to find an app that really works for semester planning.

Here’s what I need:

- Add assignments and due dates
- A calendar and planner view just for school stuff
- Deadline reminders and alerts
- Ability to add attachments/photos to tasks (local files ok)
- Optional: preview attachments/photos in the app

I don’t care about syncing across devices, local storage is fine. I’ve seen general task apps but most either don’t support attachments, or they’re messy and not built for school.

Apps I’ve tried/know about: Memorigi, 2Do, Trello, Egenda, Power Planner, myHomework/My Study Life, TickTick but some are close, some miss features.

So what Android apps do you actually use for college planning that hit most or all of these needs?
Thanks
