Those who migrated from a newer iPhone (12 or newer) to an Android, what were the biggest features you missed?

Despite being a bit locked in an iPhone ecosystem, I'm seriously debating switching over as a lifelong iPhone user just for strange UI decisions and no major improvements to the horrific performance of Siri and text-to-speech. There's also the minor annoyance that it costs $100/yr for a dev account if I wanted to make my own personal custom apps, when it's like $25 (I think) for a lifetime account on Android.

Before I find the right Android phone to switch to, I wanted to ask if there is anyth...

I just made a simple free all-in-one productivity app (timers, QR, converters, etc) — looking for feedback!

Hey everyone! I’ve been building this for months because I hated switching between 5 different apps for simple tasks. I'm new to this so this is my first app that I have published.

The app’s called OmniTools — it’s a clean, Android-first utility hub with things like a Pomodoro timer, QR Code generator, unit converter and more. I will add more in the future this is only the start.

I’d love your honest feedback on what’s useful or what’s missing. Any suggestions or bugs you spot would mean a...

[dev] I Built Your New Home On The Internet!

Hey everyone 👋

I built [Mivory](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mivory.app), your new home on the internet. It brings everything together so you can stay organized:

* Save bookmarks, notes, and inspiration in one place
* Super fast search (great even if you have thousands of saves)
* Built to help you organize your digital life

It's **FREE** on the Play Store. If you try it, I'd really appreciate your feedback - what worked, what didn't, and what you want to see next....

I built an app that can replace Google Gemini with an LLM model that runs on your phone instead. Because it runs on your phone, it doesn't need internet to use, better privacy and better reliability

dev I built an Android app that hides Reels & infinite feeds instead of blocking apps — does this actually help?

Hey all,

I’ve been fighting the usual doomscrolling loop for years, and I got frustrated with the usual “solutions” on Android:

uninstall the apps entirely
set timers I keep ignoring
or use heavy-handed blockers that break half the UX

So I built something different and launched it today on Android (sitting at \~10 installs right now).

The app is called Undoomed.

Instead of blocking apps, it removes only the infinite-scroll parts:

Instagram Reels, Explore, Stories carousels

2. Google Settings > Ads > Delete advertising ID

3. Location > Google Location Accuracy OFF (use GPS only)

4. Network & Internet > Private DNS (use dns.adguard.com)

5. Digital Wellbeing > Pause apps at bedtime (prevent...

Dual phone users: What's your primary vs secondary phone strategy?

As a dedicated dual-phone user, I'm always fascinated by how others optimize their multi-device setups. My current daily drivers are the Poco F7, which I've designated as my primary powerhouse for all things performance-intensive, and the Tecno Camon Premier 20 5G, which serves as my secondary device, specifically for its camera capabilities and as a reliable backup.



The Poco F7 is a beast for gaming and handling demanding applications. Its processing power and display ensure a smooth and imm...
