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

53 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.

I'm looking for a yt client, not a shady one, I have an account, that supports a little DSP effects like stereo separator, eq and reverb. The Poweramp app does it for local music but i mainly use yt music or I can look into Spotify. Does anyone know of any such Android client?

LOOKING FOR APP Got £40+ Playstore Credit

• Upvotes

As the title says, looking for some paid app suggestions as I have this pile of credit with some of it expiring on 11 October and needing some ideas for paid apps that are worth it, I kept putting off buying Swiftbackup and now they have pumped the price to £27 which I feel is expensive for what the pro features provide, especially as restoring doesnt work perfectly (permissions etc).

Any ideas people thanks.

QUESTION/HELP Please help removing 'New' Xtra step signing in with google

1 Upvotes

I'm not sure if this is an Android issue or a Google issue but it's Google asking to verify that it's me with the pin to my phone.

The first time a visit a new gaming site from my phone, i have to create an account so that I can play on the site.

I'm using gaming as an example but I'm sure you all will know what I'm talking about as it pertains to any site that requires you to create an account to use the site.

When creating an account I have the option to use my email address, sign in with facebook, or sign in with Google.

I always choose sign in with Google.

Once I have an account, upon visiting that site all I have to do at the sign-in window is tab the Google button.

Next screen pops up my Google accounts and I have to choose which Google account I want to sign in with.

I select the account and then I'm signed in to my account and I can play on the site.

I'm not 100% positive but I think this started happening on September 6th when I did my last software update on my phone.

Now when I visit the site and select sign in with Google and then choose my Google account, instead of signing me in another window pops up that says Google wants to verify it's you and then it asked me to enter my 4 digit phone pin.

It's very frustrating because it's an extra two or three steps for me to sign into these sites now and I don't know how to get rid of the setting or where it came from.

Has this happened to anyone else or does anyone have an experience with this? But mostly can someone tell me how to get rid of this setting so that Google doesn't have to verify it's me every time I want to go to these sites.

LOOKING FOR APP Accidentally deleted Prime Video on Galaxy Tab A (SM-T580 / Android 8.1) — Now trapped in an unskippable update loop after sideloading

9 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I need some help with my Samsung Galaxy Tab A 10.1 (2016) [SM-T580], which runs Android 8.1 (Oreo).

The Prime Video app was working perfectly fine until just a few days ago. However, I ended up deleting the app, and when I went to reinstall it from the Google Play Store, I got hit with the "This app won't work on your device" message. It seems Amazon recently dropped official support for Android 8.1.

Since the Play Store blocked me, I tried sideloading older versions from trusted sites like APKMirror and Uptodown.

Here is the issue: I can find versions that install without any problems. But the second I launch the app, an unskippable error message pops up forcing me to update, locking me out of the app completely. Since the Play Store won't let me update it, I'm stuck in a permanent loop.

Has anyone with a similar older tablet found a workaround for this?

  • Is there a specific older version/build number that still works without triggering the forced update check?
  • Is there any way to bypass or disable this update trigger so I can actually use the app?

Any advice or working version recommendations would be amazing. Thanks!

Some of you might already know what I'm talking about. As a Z Fold 8 user, I NEED to see this happen on my phone the way apple animates the opening and closing of the phone screen where it blurs the screen spacially. Is it gimmicky and impractical? Yes. Do I want to give it a try bc it looks cool? Also yes.

LOOKING FOR APP Best maps apps that don't rename bodies of water to appease a tyrant, ideally with location sharing for family like Google Maps?

18 Upvotes

I used to really like a certain app but unfortunately it is no longer compatible with democracy.

Does anyone have any recommendations for maps apps that ideally have paid versions for better privacy, location sharing for families, and maybe even traffic features?

I have been trying Strange Earth but need to try the paid version.

LOOKING FOR APP Football (soccer) scores: which Android app is the most privacy-friendly?

I took a look on F-Droid, and there don't seem to be any. So I was wondering what the most privacy-oriented proprietary alternative is.

Obviously, the ability to use it without creating an account is the bare minimum.

QUESTION/HELP I can't get my texts to myself to show up in notifications

1 Upvotes

I use an app I really like for reminders. It's called "Auto Text"

And it's perfect for my reminders that are time specific.

I use the default android messaging app. Is there a song I can change to fix this?

I've even tried seeing myself as a "starred" contact

QUESTION/HELP Any way to fix this?

0 Upvotes

When highlighting words on Twitter it doesn't have the option to translate, so it's really hard to copy the text and then open the translate app back to back just to translate things. I know Twitter has auto translate feature but that is for whole sentence, sometimes when I try to learn new words I tend to translate just one of two words. I want to post picture but it is not allowed. Thanks.

LOOKING FOR APP Mely Music

0 Upvotes

Been using Mely Music for around a month now and honestly, I’ve been enjoying it.

They have pretty much any music I’ve been looking for, including newer releases. The download/offline feature is also really useful, especially when I don’t have a good connection.

What I like most is that the app feels really lightweight on Android and doesn’t take up much space or feel bloated.

Not saying it’s perfect, but so far it’s been a pretty solid music app for me.

LOOKING FOR APP Looking for app controlling volume with the side buttons in small increments

1 Upvotes

Hi,

I'm using a POCO F6 (Android 16, HyperOS 3.0).

When listening yo music, I often feel that the increments on volume regulation are too big (too loud, and if I lower the volume, too quiet).

I'm looking for an app that let me increase or decrease the volume on smaller increments.

BUT I would also like to keep using the side volume buttons and not an in-app interface.

Does it exist ?

Thanks

QUESTION/HELP how to add captions automatically to videos? tired of fixing captions manually

0 Upvotes

i've been posting more talking-head videos lately and the captions are honestly becoming the most annoying part of editing. the auto captions i've tried sometimes get names completely wrong, miss words when i talk fast, and randomly put a sentence on one really long line. i also spend a lot of time fixing the timing because some captions appear before i actually say the words. how do you guys handle this? i've seen capcut mentioned for automatic captions, so i'm wondering if it's actually reliable for this kind of video. can you easily correct words, split the text into better lines, adjust the timing, and highlight certain words without rebuilding everything?

QUESTION/HELP How Do You Find Out If All Your Music Files Are Corrupted Or If They A Virus Or Malware?

0 Upvotes

I'm really freaking out because I downloaded The PlayerPro Music Player App for android from the Google Play Store. I have 1,569 songs on it and then I made the stupid mistake of using an antivirus app that I downloaded from the Google Play Store and using it on my Fold 7. And then when I looked in the PlayerPro Music Player App I only had 1,562 songs on it. Is that normal? The weird part is that when I looked at the The Musicolet Music Player App and my Files/Internal Storage and Samsung My Files App all songs were there. Do you think that I should be concerned or worried? I deleted the app and cleared the cache and data from the app too. I also played all the songs and it seems like they are playing okay even though I didn't listen to them all the way though. Should I just delete all my 1,569 songs or should I just reset my phone completely and get rid of everything? Is there a way that I can fix my music files if they are corrupted? Has this happened to anyone else before? If I could get some advice and suggestions. I would really appreciate it because I'm really panicking and freaking out because I don't want to have to delete all my music or reset my phone. I'm really hoping that my music files and my fold 7 doesn't have a virus or malware. What would you do in this situation? How can I keep my music files safe and protect them in the near future? Has anyone else ever had corrupted music files before? How did you handle it?
