New essential Android apps thread
- Thread starter Rilot
- Start date
Oh I use TV Show Tracker which tracks films and TV shows and you can cross them off once watched etc. It taps into your trakt account (https://trakt.tv/dashboard). I watcha lot of shows so it's nice having upcoming and pending to watch episodes all logged in one place.
As for other apps, I recently switched to Aves gallery and it is outstanding with a nice interface and various ways to group and customise. I don't use cloud storage for photos and videos hence the 1TB phones, so organising all my media in folders and groups properly is the way I do things.
back on nova news, Smart Launcher devs have said they are working on an update to import Nova backups, I will check out Smart once that happens!

I mean, read it - https://www.smartlauncher.net/privacy
They are working on a new policy I believe that can be found here - http://smartlauncher.net/privacy-policy-new
The new one does read a lot better and seems clearer too.

Nova Launcher development ia now dead :/

Looks like I will check out Octopi and see how that goes, shame as I've been on nova since around 2014 with essentially the same homescreen layout and app drawer folder organisation. Everything is set up as gestures on the homescreen!
I read about this the other day. I've used Nova Launcher since 2012. Bit gutted that it's dead. Seems that Branch bought it just to get people's data.
I'm now using Microsoft launcher which seems very similar. I tried Octopi but it isn't fully there yet.

Depends what you're after?
https://github.com/PranshulGG/WeatherMaster - Seems to be a good upcoming Opensource
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.kokoschka.michael.weather - A good Material Design app, with a few weather providers
Minimal, not too much information and colours thrown at screen. Will try these, thanks.
