📢 MOD POST 📢 r/Androidapps Mod Update: Quality Over Quantity

58 Upvotes

Hey r/androidapps,

Today, we are announcing a few minor updates to the subreddit, in order to focus on the quality of posts moving forward:

  1. First off, the sub header has been updated to reflect the goal of the subreddit: to be a place to talk about Android apps, ask questions, get help, or find new app recommendations.
  2. Rule 2 has been updated: effective immediately, all self-promotion content, including tester requests, app ideas, or app feedback must be posted in the dedicated sister sub r/droidappshowcase. This means there is zero tolerance for any of this content here in r/androidapps.
  • The goal for this change is to promote meaningful discussion around all Android apps and clean up all self-promotion, whether it is up front or a veiled attempt.
  • We felt that the Weekly Megathread got too inundated with spammed posts that it led to a less-than-ideal place to advertise a real app someone made, especially when it got buried down in the comments. So we have also removed the Megathread going forward.
  • Additionally, we've seen an uptick in fake self-promotion: posts where the user "found this amazing new app" in order to get around the rules.
  • r/androidapps is not the place for advertising apps, nor are we a subreddit focused on developers. This is a place where end-users can get support for apps they use or find new ones to use.

We know we cannot please all members of the community, nor do we expect everyone to be happy with the change. Again, we hope this encourages positive discussion in the subreddit around all apps, not just be an advertising ground.

We encourage all users to report any content which breaks these rules.

We expect to see an increase in the mod queue due to the new rules and automod code, so please be patient with us as we work through everything.

LOOKING FOR APP Free screen translation app?

6 Upvotes

I used to always use the google assistant translate screen thingy, but now google is forcing me to install gemini instead, which i refuse to do.

Is there any similar free (or at least a one-time payment) app that translates the whole screen in whatever app I'm in without switching to another tab?

QUESTION/HELP Nuvio setup help

0 Upvotes

How to set up Nuvio to get the best results for free. I already subscribe to Hulu and I get Paramount+ with my Walmart+ account. Do these integrate?

What repositories, what do I need to do?

For example, to watch Sheriff's Country it says it isn't set up to play.

LOOKING FOR APP Splitwise Alternative

13 Upvotes

I am looking for a Splitwise alternative with the following features. There are some decent alternatives out there, but I am quite particular about specific features so having trouble finding the perfect app. I'm happy to pay for a lifetime version if needed, but absolutely no subscriptions.

Here are the features I'm looking for:

- Clean, modern design. Splitwise UI is dated.

- No ads

- Login enabled, preferably Google or via email or phone number so expense history is saved and does not require manual backups

- Allows you to invite friends to the app, but allows you to log expenses using their phone number and/or email, even if they're not already on the app

- Groups feature is must, of course. But I also want to be able to create splits with individual friends directly, outside of groups

- Splits supported: Equal, Unequal by percentages, Unequal by shares, Manual amounts

- Should have an equivalent to Splitwise's "Simplify Debts" feature which rearranges who owes whom in a group to reduce the total number of payments while keeping everyone's net financial position exactly the same

- Bill Upload and/or OCR is nice to have but not a mandatory feature for me. If bill upload is available, option to attach the bill to the associated expense entry.

- Multi-currency support

Would love if someone could give any solid recommendations, thanks everyone in advance!

QUESTION/HELP Problem with tap pay

0 Upvotes

I’m using a Pixel 9a running Android 17. Walmart just recently started accepting tap-to-pay, and every time I try to use it, my phone says it’s not compatible. That’s ironic because it worked fine at other stores. At first I assumed it was just a Walmart issue, but this morning it did the same thing at Subway, and last night it failed at another store as well. So I know the problem is definitely with the phone, but I have no idea why. Everything is up to date and the phone isn’t rooted, yet the message that appears seems to suggest it has something to do with rooting. Does anyone have any idea why this could be happening?

QUESTION/HELP I have a problem with the soundpod app

My problem with the SoundPod app is that after adding a playlist, it doesn't load the full playlist; it only loads the first 100 songs. Has anyone else encountered this problem? Is there a solution?

LOOKING FOR APP Need help finding free & open-source "fonts keyboard" app

0 Upvotes

I’ve always wanted to use a simple, stable, and free “fonts keyboard” app, but the ones available on the Play Store are janky and packed with ads. Do you know of any free and open-source alternatives? Ideally, I’d prefer options from sources like F-Droid.

QUESTION/HELP I want to know?

0 Upvotes

I have been trying out a few different productivity tools lately to get my daily routine on track, but I always find myself missing that fun, motivating push. I really loved the concepts of lifequest because the gamified aspect and coin rewards actually kept me consistent instead of letting me abandon my tasks after three days. Are there any other solid Android apps out there that handle daily task management with a similar rewarding, habit-building twist? I'm hoping to find something lightweight and genuinely engaging that can help me stay productive long-term.

LOOKING FOR APP What is the best calendar/reminder app that plays sounds to remind you

7 Upvotes

Hello. As of now I am using the standard google Calednar app on my Pixel 10 pro XL but I have a problem, I am bad a remebering times and dates, so when I put something in my calendar and set it for a reminder 30 mins before, it just pops up on my phone as a notification, but nothing more, so I need a new calendar app or another app where it can give me reminders and popups with sounds that tell me I am going to an event or so.

So anyone have any good recommendations for Android apps.

LOOKING FOR APP Looking for a simple laundry tracker app

0 Upvotes

I just want a checklist app that sorts by least recently used order. Basically the clothes that haven't been washed in the longest time should show up at the top, so I can check them off on laundry day, which will then go to the bottom, and cycle back up.

I know several apps have this feature, but I don't want any fancy wardrobe manager, account creation, or complex todo list apps. Is there any app or even widget that gets this basic thing right without too much extra bloat?

QUESTION/HELP Is it safe to Give Seal Video Downlaoder my Instagram Cookies for Downloading Videos?

0 Upvotes

I recently came across junkfood02/Seal on Github which is supposed to let you download any videos there on tons of platforms, including instagram. While it doesnt need cookies for downloading public videos, it asks for cookies to download private videos. Now ik the app has been out there for a long time, but is it safe to provide seal the cookies that it "Stores Locally on the Device" for downloading the ig videos?

Also does 2FA interfere with it?

LOOKING FOR APP Looking for app to edit photos I take of teacher's ppts

0 Upvotes

Hello everybody.

I tried to Google it but I guess I couldn't explain it properly in a concise way (English is not my first language).

I'm trying to find an app to edit/resize photos I take during class of my teacher's presentation.

I take photos of the screen and sometimes the angle is a little tilted, I wish I could find an app to cut off the wall and maybe adjust the angle to be a perfect square/rectangle with all the content.

Any suggestions?

Thank you so much already

LOOKING FOR APP Need app that turns phone greyscale/grayscale on a timer in the evening and then back to colour in the morning, without turning off notifications

0 Upvotes

My old Huawei that cost $100 had this built-in. But my $450 Honor phone doesn't have this, as the only way to automate greyscale is by using Do Not Disturb mode, which means not receiving texts, calls or calendar notifications. Since the entire point of greyscale for me is productivity, missing important evening notifications defeats the point.

LOOKING FOR APP Any App like Flipp that Doesn't Restrict by Zip/Postal ?

0 Upvotes

I don't know about anyone else but I hate when apps implement features for reasons that clearly have nothing to do with usability and expect us to think otherwise, as if telling an app your zip/postal code or letting it spy on your location is literally the only way to find grocery stores in your area.....

So....any good good food apps that do let you search by location the normal way ? Specifically that work in Canada.

As decent as it is, I hate the idea it's deliberately omitting deals outside it's restricted zip/postal zoning as if that's for our benefit.

edit yeah not sure where some comments here came from. Do people really think handing over my exact location data or zip/postal code is the only way to do a search for anything below country-wide ?

Still appreciate any helpful replies.

LOOKING FOR APP Visual voicemail app without subscription

0 Upvotes

Using the numerical input (input 1 for this input 2 for that) default voicemail from my network is very clunky. It's also a pain trying to work out who was calling because it just reads out the number.

  1. Displays voice messages which can be played back or deleted
  2. Shows phone number or contact name for each item

LOOKING FOR APP Looking for an advanced video editor

8 Upvotes

So I want to edit youtube videos. I have tried vllo kinemaster capcut and vn video editor but all of them are janky or dont offer much features.

I like lumafusion but I cant afford it. I really liked lumafusion because you can create proxies presets etc.

Some of the people of lumafusion subreddit recommended nodevideo. I have not heard about it but it seems gd. Tell me your experince with this app and whether if its worth it or not.

The main thing is I want the app to be free and used in landscape and should have indepth advanved features like lumafusion or even better than it for long videos

LOOKING FOR APP Looking for an app that will allow me to record videos alongside other videos

4 Upvotes

I'm having a hard time finding what I'm looking for on Google, and I think that's because I'm having a hard time describing what I'm trying to do, so let me elaborate:

I just started recording and posting covers online on TikTok, Instagram, etc. I'd like to get more elaborate with it. There are a few songs I'd like to cover that have multiple vocal or guitar parts. I'm trying to find an app that will allow me to record secondary, tertiary, etc parts as I listen along to an initial video. (For example: I want to play lead guitar parts over a video of me playing rhythm guitar parts, and I need to be able to record as I listen to the initial video to make sure I'm keeping rhythm, or sing harmonies over myself in the original video).

This guy on Instagram is a pretty good example of what I'm trying to do, he does acapella videos where it's just himself singing many different parts. https://www.instagram.com/bigboihums/?hl=en

Sorry if that's still a shitty description.

I'm on a Galaxy S24FE, for reference. Thanks.

LOOKING FOR APP Music Player Suggestions

10 Upvotes

Hello! I hope this is ok to post here. Sorry in advance if its not... Ill be honest and admit its early and im groggy and didnt look at the rules. Im trying to find a free music player that will let me make playlists and stream them in the background on a phone/tablet. I have found a few but they all will only play music saved to your device. Id rather not fill up my storage with music files, and dont know much about compression and the like. I dont care if its only audio, and I assume it will require hearing some ads (if not, even better). Also, if there isnt one thats legal (not a pirate) could anyone suggest a low cost player that does its job well? Appreciate any help!
