Probably some sort of note app that let's you include images? Notion would be good for this as well, although no offline support might be a deal breaker while traveling (no data access)

I finally got the Coolwalk Update for Android Auto. Being in Germany we still don't get speed limits (and other stuff) shown on Maps so I was wondering if there's an app that shows information and can be used with the new Coolwalk interface (so you have Maps on the left side and then music player + speed limits, etc. on the right). Anyone got any tips? Is this even possible?

Is there an android audiobook player that plays mp3 audiobooks and accepts Assistant commands? I've been listening to YouTube audiobooks and the ability to use "Hey Google, go back 15 minutes" has been really nice when listening to audiobooks at work or in the car, and my go-to, Listen Audiobook Player, doesn't have that capability.

I actually moved to Plex last year for audiobooks. The actual Plex app on Android isn't great for them, but there's an alternate client called Chronicle that works great for me. Can listen to books on my phone or computer and it syncs progress just like Plex movies and TV shows.

I'm looking for a good to-do list or notes app that works with a homescreen widget. Extremely little friction if possible, like tap, write something, hit okay. I need to take notes or remember things and I feel like every to-do list app always has this "okay, when do you want to schedule it, do you want it to be in this category, is it recurring..." thing that just stresses me out. Ideally, I would be able to scroll through these via the widget without 'tap to view more' stuff. Desktop syncing would be extremely ideal but not 100% necessary since I know a lot of apps charge subscriptions for that and I don't want to pay for it. I used to use Stuff To-Do List Widget for this, but the exporting is kind of a pain and it hasn't updated in over a year, and it'd be nice to have something a little more modern.

Yep Google Keep is fairly simplistic but it is great for basic notes and to do lists. Use the app, access it via any browser for easy syncing

It's one of the best Google apps but is also one a lot of people seem unaware of.

Been trying Keep. It's not 100% perfect but it is nice - and honestly I doubt anything will be unless I learn how to make an app myself, and that isn't happening anytime soon. I wish they had more skins, mostly.  Thanks everyone!

You can add pictures to checklists for some reason so you can add a terrible picture of your cat looking like an idiot to the shopping list for example An important feature as it will also show in the widget

Yeah to be honest that's always been part of my hesitation to use Keep, is knowing Google's reputation for axing things. But it's stuck around this long, so... Also thank you for the cat pics tip this is so important.

Yeah, people have commented in the thread before that they don't use Keep despite knowing it's great because they don't want to get used to it and then have Google axe it.

You can either have it display a list and it has a + sign or a list of lists with their own +add item buttons. The only drawback is that it opens the app to add the item but it is to a focused entry box with OK as the one tap action. Super simple. Crossing off items happens in the widget. Syncs between users, active development, developer is adding new features all the time. We don't use most of them.

I use Wunderground, partly out of longstanding habit. The app hasn't seemed as good since IBM became involved with it in some way, but it's still my go-to.

I've been using Foreca for a few months now since it's one of the most reliable services for my area. I don't use widgets so I can't speak to that, but I it the persistent notification is fine.

I like the widgets for 1Weather but the app is full of trashy clickbait bullshit and I refuse to tap into it anymore. My local mesonet has a pretty good app but I find the widgets lacking; you may check for your state to see if you have something like that. Weather Underground has some OK widgets and an OK app but I remember their early days before IBM and how much better it was then. They have been steadily fixing bugs and the app's in decent state these days. I like RadarScope for radar. If you're in the US, the National Weather Service fixed a lot of their local forecast office pages so they look good on mobile. A shortcut to that plus the Google Today widget may be all you need. (or whatever they call that now, the thing that has current weather and upcoming reminders etc). effika fucked around with this message at 17:08 on Mar 7, 2023 |

I like Overdrop and Today Weather, but can use the dark sky api for now while it's still around and both have pretty extensive options including AccuWeather (only on the paid version of Overdrop) once Dark Sky shutters the API. I still just use Google's today widget mostly though.

I don't actually use it for that -- I just use it for jotting down notes on my phone that I want to be available in my desktop browser too, while being less of a pain in the arse than OneNote -- but it's lightweight, straightforward, and (iirc) free. Worth a look.

Not too thrilled with Spotify's recent announcements about how they're further changing the home page... tried out YouTube Music again after quickly bailing on it a few years ago and it's actually really good now! Interface is simple and clean - easy to find stuff - and shuffle actually works properly. I think I'll probably cancel my Spotify sub for good now.

You also get ad free YouTube without going through hoops! They just added 'your music tuner's that seems like a configurable SuperMix. Not sure if that's for everyone or not yet.

Can anyone confirm whether the new Galaxy S23 has built-in Call Recording enabled for the USA phone app? The Samsung rep says yes, but I can't find anything in print confirming it (though Samsung India has a video confirming they have it). I know Google are dicks about it due to informed consent laws. I need it for work because I ask vendors to agree to be recorded when they promise me deals. I got Zoom for $6/user/month pre-covid and when they tried to jack up prices, and that covered my butt, for example. edit: Ah gently caress I knew it, Sammy Rep was wrong, Samsung hides the option in the US. Apparently you can flash a CSC (country/carrier product code) from another country with the Odin tool to get it to appear, and it will retain Knox verification, but I guess that gives you goofy APNs and other ramifications.

What are people replacing signal with? I used it for SMS and since they are deleting that killer feature I'm done with it. I don't really trust or like the Samsung default sms app.

And going to messages seems like letting them win, given one of their stated reasons is crying about messages supporting some proprietary protocol.
