My dad is 80 years old, don't use phones, and we can't find a good, portable analog radio for now, so I gave him a simple android, but he has no idea of what to do when a ad appears, is there a paid (one-time purchase) radio app that is easy to use?

Motorola phones has built-in radio app that is pretty good, but it requires a external anthena (plugged in the audio jack), and my dad don't like any type of headphones/buds either, speakers only.

I used to use seal for this, now its not working and i have yet to find a working replacement.

And im not bothered to mess around with yt2mate or some other "youtube to mp3 free 2026 free music download video playlist mp4"

The title, but other than FB Messenger, Telegram, Signal...

My wifi disconnects at random times, and I don't know unless I manually check my connection in Settings. Is there an app that instantly tells you when your wifi has disconnected?

i am so tired of being convinced my personal events (friends' birthdays, appointments, etc) i make in google calendar won't be forcibly synced to My Dad after i disable some setting or another, only for it to happen again like a month later. i don't even want syncing with Anything to be a Possibility. i want the dumbest calendar known to man that isn't made of paper. please. i just want an app that will notify me a few days before Event and the day of Event and literally nothing else no other features at all even a little not even optional ones. if it uses the same calendar system every other app does i'm convinced it will continue wiping my settings and sharing John Friendfromcollege's birthday with every family member i've ever had.

When reading an e-novel, there are many English words that I don't understand. Is there a third-party app that, after I give it the necessary permissions, lets me click on a word and instantly gives me a simple English definition without translating it into my native language? I don't want to switch to another app to find the meaning—the definition should appear directly in the app I'm reading the novel on.

Would anyone be interested in reviving the Flynx concept for modern Android?

I used Flynx for years (and I still do) and absolutely loved the way it handled links: tapping a link would open it in a small floating bubble while I could continue using the app I was in. I could open several links, let them load in the background, and read them later.

Unfortunately, Flynx has been abandoned for years and doesn't work properly on newer versions of Android anymore. I've tried alternatives such as Lynket and other bubble browsers, but none of them provide the same experience reliably on modern Android.

Would any Android developer be interested in creating a modern, actively maintained version of this concept?

I don't necessarily mean an exact clone of Flynx — just the same core idea, properly adapted to current Android versions.

I honestly think there is still a demand for this. There are multiple old Reddit threads with people asking for exactly the same thing, but there still doesn't seem to be a good modern solution.

I'm curious about something.

Most alarm and reminder apps basically do the same thing: set a time, get a notification, dismiss it.

But what do you actually wish they did better?

For example:

Smarter alarms based on your routine

Alarms that require an action before dismissing

Location-based reminders

Voice-based control

Better daily activity reminders

Those are just examples. I'm more interested in the problems you personally have with alarm/reminder apps.

What feature would genuinely make you switch from the alarm app you're using now?

There's this app called "Touchpnt" on the app store (black and blue fingerprint logo). It's supposed to help you scroll social media less by helping remind you to call text friends and family. Can someone tell me how to use it? I'm at the homepage but I don't know what to do from there. I liek the concept and could definitely scroll less. Crazy fact: if you spend two hours on IG a day, you're spending a whole month on IG per year. wtf

I’m looking for a good mobile app to scan documents, convert them into PDFs, and extract text from images or scanned pages.

There are quite a few options available, but I’m curious what people actually use regularly.

Which document scanner/PDF app are you using, and what feature do you find most useful?

/*Update: */its solved gys finally 🤩🤩 Ticktick task manager app was doing this all time I have not given permission to show notification but still rings I don't know how But i just used installed tick tick app for only task purpose not to check this and it's 2 am popup tasks lisst now checked the settings of ticktick yeah there is 2 am notification

I’ve been facing this weird issue for the past 1 month and I’m seriously confused 😭

My phone randomly makes a notification-like sound around 2 AM. There is no notification visible, and nothing shows up in Notification History either.

I vaguely remember that I may have set some kind of 2 AM sleep notification/sound in an app called something like “Soundscape”, but I’ve already uninstalled that app.

Things I’ve checked:

Notification History — nothing

Normal notifications — nothing

I don't see any obvious 2 AM alarm

The app I suspect is already uninstalled don't remember exactly what was the name of that app

The sound still randomly happens around 2 AM.

How can I find out what is actually producing this sound and completely disable it? Has anyone experienced something similar?

Any help would be greatly appreciated because this has been happening for a month and it's driving me crazy 😭💔

like it's just my wallpaper, then when I double tap / swipe / other gestures, it will bring up keyboard that I can do:

1 - type app name to launch it or search in search engine of my choosing (google, ddg, bing, etc.)

2 - if I type equal sign (=) it will become calculator

3 - type config to enter the launcher setting, or something like that

and other features like that

no app drawer, no app list

is there anything like that?

Hey guys!

I’m so sick of every single basic app moving to a $5/month subscription model. I just need a solid tool to convert files and merge PDFs, but I have a few dealbreakers:

100% Offline: I'm not uploading my personal docs to some random cloud. Everything needs to be processed locally.

Merge PDFs: Needs to combine PDFs together quickly and easily.

Pay ONCE: I'm looking for a lifetime license. I buy it once, I own it forever. Absolutely no recurring subscriptions.

Do you have any "holy grail" apps you use for this? I’m totally fine dropping some cash on a permanent license, or if there's a good FOSS (Free and Open Source) alternative, I'm all ears.

Thanks!🍻

no need of good ui or latest update, just utterly simple, domt want botes app that is feature rich and also have this feature, but just this feature.

i keep track of stuff as they come to mind (so widget is best) amd organise later on with chatgpt on notion, so no need to keep anything organised on the app.

For some reason, android does not offer a similar outlook calendar widget that Apple does in the photo below. Has anyone found a solution to this?

I have an Android app that is pretty heavy. Because of the 3d content in it, it takes time to download and open as well. .

I've a pretty low retention rate.. is it because of the loading time issue? Or could it be other factors.. such as the onboarding steps.. lack of clear value proposition?

Some numbers. 360 mb install size. 5 second boot time, then another 10 seconds for the login and the 3d scenes to be fully ready

Hello, I highly enjoy customizing my apps as much as I can, so I was wondering if anyone knows of email apps where there are several different themes beyond light and dark, such as pastel yellow or coffee brown, etc

I've been using echo music app, but its maintenance was discontinued a couple days ago so it's only a matter of time before it breaks down.

Does anyone have another app they use?
