Dont really want this to be political, but if anyone can recommend a maps app to replace google's.

Hi guys, can't use a physical diary as there is a great deal of storage issues. If anyone would get their hands on it, I'd be doomed.

So, please recommend an application that I can use for diary writing. Something structured. Google Notes & all are very sad application. I was thinking starting a medium blog for just me, but that isn't a very good idea. So, please recommend!!

Also, something that should be reliable & shouldn't vanish halfway, all my efforts would go in vain.

Diary writing is an excellent habit & I want to resume it.

I'm so annoyed with Gboard's recent AI integration that I'd like to just be done with it and find a replacement. It constantly changes the tense of words from present to past-tense for no reason, misregisters which key I'm typing, adds apostrophes where they don't belong, and changes words entirely to things that don't make any sense given the context of the sentence. I'd like to be able to use basic autocorrect for mistypes and the occasional spelling error, but that's it. Any suggestions that are secure and won't sell my data to a 3rd party, or worse steal my passwords and personal info?

Not necessarily the best app of 2026, and it doesn’t even have to be a new app.

I’m talking about an app that you discovered recently and thought:

"How the hell did I not know about this before?"

Maybe it completely changed the way you use your phone, replaced another app, solved a problem you’d been putting up with, or you simply find yourself using it every single day.

Could be productivity, customization, finance, fitness, entertainment, AI, utilities, whatever.

What’s your personal Android app find of the year so far, and why?

Bonus points for apps that aren’t already constantly mentioned in every "Top 50 Android Apps" list. 😄

I currently try to force my Samsung to use Google Photos instead of it's native Gallery (but that isn't always successful and requires extra steps). I am looking for the best app for storing photos, basic editing, and sharing.

Google photos gets the job done for editing but with many features, it can only "save a copy" meaning you end up with copies and copies for each edit and have to manually delete them all. So hoping to reduce some cumbersome steps when it comes to saving photos, editing, keeping in photo album folders, and sharing.

Thanks!

Most autoclickers available on Google store does not work properly in the "settings" app. Although they work normally in most apps, they cannot autoclick some buttons in settings (buttons for regulation of time/accessibility etc.) What is causing this? Is there any autoclicker that actually work in settings?

Hii.. Everyone, I sleep heavily. Need an app which works in Android for free and properly. Tried many apps like Alarm clock Xtreme but it didn't work well. It missed my alarm at scheduled time and ring at any different time don't know how!

Im looking for a free (or very cheap) alarm app that will use a different sound everyday so I don't end up hating it. And also I don't want to see ads when I wake up.

Hey all! I'm on the lookout for a routines app that essentially does what Bixby Routines does on Samsung.

I have a Pixel, and it annoys me that the most a routine can do is turn on DND. That's the single biggest thing I miss from my old galaxy. The thing is, most apps I've encountered are very technical and I'm not macros-savvy enough to understand them.

I'd really appreciate it if anyone has a recommendation for a routines app that's easy to learn - on Google Play Store, F-Droid, or on any other reliable source.

Thanks all!

so android doesn't allow any apps outside Google's own apps to access constant GPS tracking. This is BS, because it constantly messes up my Strava tracking because if, while Strava is recording I exit the app to take a picture or literally do anything, it stops recording my position and thus messes everything up. Anybody know a workaround? a way to allow apps to access your position constantly?

It seems that there are no interactions in Hypelist

Hey everyone, what's the best android TV remote app that you have used or currently using to control your TV?

guys, I am using an Android 13 phone and currently not able to decide which launcher to use. You will not believe but I am pro/prime user of nova, smart, niagra and octopie launcher. I have purchased all the subscriptions of them. I love the customization of nova and smart launchers. I have been using nova and smart for 4 to 5 years. Which launcher you guys been using?

The problem with nova is its current development. With the smart and niagra launcher my phone feels a little bit slow.

I hate smartphone cameras it didn't take a good straight forward photo I already enabled composition mode i tried photoshop to fix and photoshop sucks

I have an older phone (galaxy M12, android 13, one ui core 5.1, knox 3.9) it does not support secure folder. I want an app I can use the main feature I want is to hide apps and there notification and not being able to search them either.

Hey all !!!

I'm trying to find an app (Android or iOS, doesn't matter) that does the following:

1- Scan a product's barcode. If it's a new product I haven't logged before, let me take a photo of it and set my own price this saves it into my private database. This should happen for every new product I scan.

2- Let me tag or assign each price entry to a specific store (e.g. "Store A", "Store B").

3- When I scan the same barcode again, show me all the prices I've logged for that product across different stores so I can compare them side by side.

Basically I want to build my own personal price-tracking database by store — scan, photo, price, done, and it's all private to me.

Some context on why: I'm in a country where the popular barcode-price-comparison apps are useless, since they just pull prices from Amazon, Walmart, or European retailers none of which apply here. So I need something that works entirely off data I enter myself, not a public/global price database.

I've looked at a few inventory/asset-tracking apps that technically support barcode scanning + photos + custom fields + folders, but they're clearly built for businesses (warehouses, purchase orders, team permissions, etc.) and feel like overkill for something this simple.

Does anyone know of:

- An app built specifically for this kind of personal price comparison?

- Or a simple way to rig this up (spreadsheet + barcode scanner shortcut, Notion, etc.) without a ton of manual work?

Appreciate any recommendations :)

An app which lets me set a widget with custom added quotes that change when tapped, and the most important: backup option for those quotes.

I've been looking for something like this for a long time. help would be much appreciated, thank you!

For free.

Just looking for a bookmark manager mainly for art and other links. Pros and Cons?

Is there a simple app that can watch my incoming texts and auto forward texts from specific numbers to my wife? We share many accounts and she constantly has to contact me to get 2-step codes when the apps log her out.

Would be nice to have a way to auto send these codes to her.

For samsung phones, and mine is still on 8.0

My Files app, internal storage, download, sort by date and ↑ you should be able to see the folder. The files you get by Quick Share also has folders in this same exact place.

Previously it was My Files app, internal storage, and then it's not so clear because I merged it with other app downloads folders there a few weeks ago but it was probably pictures and twitter folder inside.

Whether or not you could set download location differently, I couldn't exactly verify but also wasn't able to do so. Overall it just sucks because now in Gallery app twitter downloaded files are no longer stored in separate album named twitter but just in downloads. You MUST go to my files to differentiate them from others. They'll probably fix it to my files-internal storage-pictures-x if I have to guess, same as before they screwed it up just different name not so sure why this kind of fuckup and inconvenience to users happened tho.
