Themes
I guess now that we are being forced over to Google messages, themes are useless as far as the design in Samsung messages??😔

Created my first app - but no clue how to market it. Anyone out there who could give advice?
Me and a friend of mine just developed our first B2C app. It is free, but we could get affiliate comissions. Now we want to spread the word, but are a bit clueless what is a good (and better free/cheap) channel or way to market thr app.
What are you guys doing to get users on board? Are there any good hacks or is it either paid ads or struggling the way through content creation and community building on social media?

Should I stop using samsung password manager?
So I’ve been using Samsung Password Manager (Samsung Pass app) for as long as I can remember, but lately I’ve started to question whether I should move to a third-party option instead, mostly due to its lack of cross-platform support and some everyday usability issues.
From a security and convenience standpoint, Samsung Pass isn’t necessarily unsafe. The Samsung Pass app works well on Samsung devices, with biometric login and Knox-based security, so for basic everyday use it’s easy to rely on. At the same time, it doesn’t feel very flexible when it comes to moving your data. Exporting or switching away isn’t as straightforward, which makes it feel like you’re a bit locked in compared to a dedicated password manager.
That said, the bigger issue for me is how limited it feels in practice. Samsung Pass mainly works inside Samsung’s ecosystem, which doesn’t match how I actually use my devices - I switch between a phone, PC, different browsers, and other platforms. Because of that, not having smooth access to my passwords everywhere becomes frustrating, and it starts to feel restrictive rather than helpful for a password manager.
On top of that, there are smaller but still noticeable issues, like autofill not always working properly or difficulty accessing saved data outside certain apps. Over time, these add up and make Samsung Pass feel more like a built-in convenience feature than a complete password manager solution. When I compare that to paid password manager options that offer proper cross-platform support and more control, the Samsung Pass app starts to feel like a compromise rather than something I can rely on long-term.
So at this point, I’m leaning toward switching to a different password manager, but I’m still unsure if it’s really worth it or which direction to go.
I’ve been comparing a few options using a table I found on Reddit, but I’d be interested to hear what others are using - what you like, what you don’t, and whether switching was actually worth it.

TextPlus message status
Hi,
I recently downloaded TextPlus and the status of my messages are really confusing me. The very first one I wrote, the status stayed ‘Sent’ for hours and never changed. All of the following ones I wrote initially would say ‘Sent’ and then change to ‘Delivered.’ What does any of this mean??
I don’t know if this is the right sub to put this in, apologies if no

Audio player with zoomable envelope (waveform) display navigation?
I haven't been able to find an audio player that displays the file's audio envelope (1st choice) or waveform, lets me zoom in/out and navigate using the envelope display. I don't need editing, just playback, though adding labels or integrated voice transcription (then navigation/playback from transcript) would be useful.
What app do you suggest? Thanks.

The notes app I actually use vs the notes app I think I should be using — anyone else have this problem?
There's a pattern I keep noticing in myself and I'm curious if it's common.
I'll set up a proper notes system — folders, tags, the whole thing. Use it enthusiastically for two weeks. Then quietly start dumping everything into WhatsApp messages to myself instead. Every time.
It's not that the app is bad. It's that when I actually need to capture something, I don't want to make any decisions. I don't want to choose a folder. I don't want to name the note. I just want to write it down before it disappears.
WhatsApp wins because there's zero friction. Open, type, done. Nothing to organise, nothing to name. Just chaos that at least got captured.
I've tried Notion, Keep, Bear, Obsidian. All genuinely good apps. All slightly too slow or too structured for the moment a thought actually lands.
Eventually got frustrated enough to build my own thing — Flipnotes on Android. Whole premise is zero friction capture with automatic categorisation. No folders, no tags, just write and it sorts itself. It's what finally got me off WhatsApp.
Curious whether others have the same drift pattern — is it the speed, the filing, or something else that makes you abandon a notes app?

Looking for less graphic intensive/lesser known games
I'm looking for android games that are mainly 2D that isnt graphically intensive. It could be arcade style games or gachas. Anything that is less known.
I recently started reusing an old fire 7 tablet I have and I wanted to install some games on it that I could play occasionally. It can handle a game like Touhou LostWord which is what I used to use it for but now I just want to use the tablet to play other games. Im mainly using the tablet for reading but I wanted to have some games on the side to play.

Android 16 soft/virtual keys app not working (Button Savior)
I'm using a virutal/soft key app called button savior on a onn core 8.1 tablet with android 16. It would appear that something in android 16 or walmart's implementation of of it, is preventing button savior from working correctly.
I has accessibility access activated as well as window overlay, and works on it's on settings page, but when activated on the home screen or any other app, it will display but none of the buttons are functional. I have 16 on my pixel and don't have this problem.
I was wondering if anyone familiar with android 16 might be able to suggest a setting to tweak or something to adjust with adb. Any help would be appreciated.
While androids gesture navigation isn't bad, I have years of muscle memory with button savior and have used it with every android device (with a screen) I have owned.

how are you doing personalization in 2026 without stepping on every privacy law?
building an app that needs to personalize.
better personalization gives a better product experience.
But i run into these issues:
collect user data directly runs into privacy laws like GDPR , us laws etc.
don't personalize → generic product nobody opens twice
ask users to fill out preferences → nobody finishes the form
how are people actually solving this?
are you:
collecting it yourself and praying you're compliant
using a third-party for your apps.

I'm looking for simple location reminder apps
Do people actually use location reminder apps regularly?
I’ve tried a few and most of them feel weirdly complicated for something that should be simple.
For example, I need to enter so many details like trigger radius, entry vs. exit, geofencing behavior, etc. just to get it to work. And most of the time it doesn't really work! The reminders are either too late or too early.
I just want to type:
“buy milk near a grocery store”
and have it remind me at the right time without me configuring a bunch of stuff.
What are you all using these days?

After weeks of rebuilding, Moneko v2.0 is finally live
Moneko v2.0 is now live.
A few months ago, Moneko was running on a tiny setup. As more people started using the app, performance wasn’t always where we wanted it to be.
Over the last few weeks, we’ve been rebuilding and upgrading a lot behind the scenes, and today Moneko v2.0 is finally live.
What’s included:
• Much faster app performance
• Offline support with automatic sync
• Faster transaction saving
• New Monthly Health Report Insights
• Lots of UI improvements and bug fixes
The goal is simple: spending less time managing your budget and more time understanding where your money goes.
Thanks to everyone who sent feedback, bug reports, feature requests, and words of encouragement. Every message genuinely helped shape this release.
For context, Moneko is a budgeting app with WhatsApp and Apple Pay integration for quick expense logging.

Scoped Storage system.
I have a specific question about Scoped Storage on modern Android.
I'm not talking about apps having full access to all folders on the phone like they did in the past.
My question is different:
Starting with Android 11, Google started pushing apps to store their files inside the Android/data folder, which users normally can't access anymore, right?
Today, can a developer still update their app and choose to save the app's own files in a user-accessible location (for example, inside Downloads, Documents, Music, or a custom folder with the app's name) instead of using Android/data?
Or could Android eventually force apps to use only Android/data?
And if Android still allows apps to use user-accessible folders today, does that mean this possibility is likely to always exist?
What I mean is: is this considered a basic part of Android's design, where apps are allowed to choose their own storage location instead of being forced to use only Android/data or another system-defined folder that users cannot access?
Or could Google eventually prevent this completely, at least for Play Store apps?
I'm asking because many Play Store apps — such as camera apps, download managers, audio/video editors, and similar apps — can still save files in normal user-accessible locations.
So does Google only allow these specific types of apps (and will probably always allow them) to choose accessible folders?
Or can any type of app — including games, social media apps, banking apps, note-taking apps, etc. — also choose to store their own files in user-accessible locations, and continue being allowed to do so in the future?
So what I really want to understand is:
Did Android only restrict broad storage access, or is Google actually moving toward a future where apps (like games, social media apps, banking apps, note-taking apps, and similar apps) could be completely prevented from choosing user-accessible folders for their own files?
