Glad you enjoyed it!

I tend to place a high priority on looks in apps. Not always, but many times. Reddit is no exception. RiF looks too dense to me, the font is too small, and it resembles the website way too much. I like Relay for how nice and airy it looks, there's a bit of space between posts. It's smooth, and I can scroll between comments using the volume key.

I greatly prefer My Effectiveness over Todoist. The main reason that made me shun Todoist was it's complexity and the requirement to sign up with an account or login using Facebook/Google. In contrast, ME is free and is based on your phone. But the biggest thing keeping me with ME is it's philosophy. It helps you keep everything in context, to sort to dos (or "actions", the way they call them) by not priority but objective ("Importance") and subjective ("Urgent") urgency. The way it is designed is based on the book 7 habits of highly effective people (Amazon, university PDF), which I haven't read but just based on this app is probably worth a read.

I highly recommend you check out their description of how the app is intended to be used.

Edit: Just saw your edit. Yeah, aCalendar and Etar are pretty familiar. What sold me on Etar was that it is open source and completely free, no in app purchases even. The developer even put his github source on the app page. I've been trying to move to FOSS (free and open source software) apps as much as possible. My only concern is that the app hasn't been updated since December 6. Not really a major concern for now, since it works great and looks great with not bugs that I can tell, but it makes me wonder if it is still in development.

If you're starting completely from scratch (no programming knowledge at all), then learn Java. Intro to Java Programming is a pretty good and in depth book. Chapters 1-13 should be good enough to get started with Java programming.

If you want something faster or just need a refresher, than the Java tutorials from TutorialsPoint could work.

Other wise, if you already know Java, the BNR Android Programming book is a really good book for Android programming. It covers a lot of topics; the basics all the way to the more advanced, real world applications.

The Android Developers site is incredibly useful as well. The training and API guide sections do a good job at explaining more specific things and some sections include code snippets.

The biggest hurdle for me when I started was just setting everything up. Installing Java and Android studio was a pain because all the hiccups. It's more stable and straight forward to install now though. I'm pretty sure the intro chapter in the BNR book covers installation as well.

This cannot be done through an APP simply because of the bluetooth radio limitations on mobile devices. However, if you want to get fancy and creative there might be possible ways to do this. USB Bluetooth devices can connect to multiple devices at once simultaneously. Something like this can connect to 7 Bluetooth devices, so with like 14 of them, you could theoretically connect 100+ devices, but on the software side you might have to get creative and use some kind of audio routing software or something to make it all work. I'm assuming you're trying to create a type of headphone jam party and I wish you the best of luck.

u/Medfordite · 2 pointsr/androidapps

I think the headphones and the phone used make a difference in some cases. I have an HTC M7 that I use for music only, with Viper4Android activated, I get some of the best sound quality out of the phone. I am using Phillips SHQ1200 headphones.

With Bass turned up, Tuned just right and trebles set right, I have been able to get some of the best Bass that is deep and clear and rich. Trebles are excellent as well, not ear piercing. I'd compare the bass to be much like what you'd hear on a high end system if that makes any sense.

Now, I have a Lenovo Tablet and a ZTE Grand X4 Phone which insisted on putting Dolby on them. With those headphones, I can not get any sound near what I have had with the HTC M7. If I could root the ZTE, I'd totally go with VIper4Android.

I've set up similar with an automation app for makeshift motorcycle and home security before. There may be better options available to a rooted phone that I'm not familiar with.

You could go the easy route and use Google's Find My Device, which allows you to remotely update the location pull and set off a tone. Or, you can build one in an automation app (Tasker, AutoMate, AutoMagic), which allows sensor use—I can't guarantee reliability with your phone, but I've had good results. The real problem, I'd imagine, is how would you delay their discovery of the phone long enough for the tracking to be of value? Maybe you'd get lucky and they'd drive home without opening it, but that's a high level of stupidity to count on. For this reason, I'd imagine a security camera would have a better chance of catching them—though that leaves the problem of identification. But, if you are dedicated to this, I'd suggest getting an item you can hide the phone and battery pack in (securely—no rattling) that someone wouldn't think to disassemble, is worth keeping, and will function believably (if tested) until you get the cops there. Maybe a small amp for a guitar? Pop off the back, adhere it to the case, close it up… Whatever it is, it'd have to be believably packaged and labeled for shipping—unless, again, you're counting on their incredible stupidity. Anyway, I'll skip to the phone portion and leave the rest to you.

Here's a manual version in AutoMate, which requires you check its location via text. You could easily switch it to send automatically based on time or a sensor reading (movement, geofence, magnetic reading, driving detected, etc). Or, if you feel like gambling and letting them find the phone, burst pictures that upload to Drive when the phone is exposed to light, or whatever. If you have something specific in mind, or need help getting something working, feel free to message me.

'the best podcast app by Google Top Developer!' is low quality sales talk for inferior products.

Test conclusion: the quick country selector is good but only shows 'some' podcasts in the chosen language. Navigation is confusing, can't find the radio section, not sure what's supposed to be the homepage.
You drink very expensive coffee, if you want more sales let supporters chose an amount themselves. Success.

The fake reviews on are hilarious.

'Google certified Top Developer' 🤣

  • Farm Slots: A pretty simple slots game. The Amazon Underground version removes all adverts + IAPs, and is definitely better than the Google Play version.
  • FastHub: A simple GitHub viewer, I use it often to reference pull requests / commits in meetings.
  • Files: Google's astoundingly late file manager. Originally designed for low spec devices, it's very lightweight and cleans up resources without any bloat.
  • Fishercat: A game about catching fish. And you're a cat. Plenty of upgrades, although it gets pretty grindy around the middle.
  • Fit: Google Fit has been my health tracking app of choice for years, and the recent redesign adds some nice new features. I still miss the daily steps widget, but the MyFitnessPal and Runkeeper integration is excellent.
  • Flutter: This app provides an IMDb rating popup on the side whenever you open a film / show's page in Netflix etc. Later updates have added some bloat, but the core functionality is still essential when picking something to watch.

    Oh, and Firebase Reference, the open source Firebase reference app I'm building as part of a tutorial series on my blog. Sorry for self-promo!

[Fitbit Zip] (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0095PZHZE) is probably gonna be the way to go.

Fitbit has the best app ecosystem, syncs via Bluetooth to your phone, website has easy to read information. It's a good device.

EDIT: if you're staunchly anti-fitbit, the cheapest way to go is buy a pedometer and log it daily to a spreadsheet (Google docs, excel, take your pick).

But I really think you'd like the fitbit.

Hello All, today I had released my 2nd game, it's a simple clicker game, in which we need earn cash, buy weapons, and do expeditions, during expeditions we need to make strategic decisions. Game don't contain IAP, spam of ads, or Pay to idle gain mechanics.

My first game was a big fail, so I had started developing 2nd game, I like idle games, so i had made decision, that my 2nd game will be idle. I had never made any Idle game, making it was very fun, I had learned few things. I'm still newbie 18 year old, who is learning how to program, make games. We can buy click, idle upgrades, special upgrades, buy weapons, and then do expeditions, which tell us some story, During expeditions we can take decisions, let's say we can take prisoners or check a lonely house in forest. I would like to thank /r/incremental_games For help with testing game and all support.

If You got any questions - feel free to ask them.

It's funny there's also an alexa skill with exactly the same name lol : https://www.amazon.com/Trendee-AI-My-Fitness-Trainer/dp/B07C68HB3L

I'll give your app a try. Thanks for sharing.

u/Snotbob · 37 pointsr/androidapps

Sounds like a lot of goddamn control over my phone being given to an alarm clock. That permission list is full of a whole mess of things I don't generally feel comfortable existing inside a solitary app, especially one that's meant to serve such a simple purpose.

You want an obnoxious but effective alarm clock that doesn't require a crazy amount of control over your phone? Try something like Clocky. That wandering asshole does a great job of prying you out of bed & pissing you off early in the morning.

Maybe I'm just being paranoid, but I could never bring myself to trust an app like this.

u/amipow · 6 pointsr/androidapps

Any to-do app would work. I'm a big fan of Todoist, and one of the features is that it allows you to import lists other people have made. Here's a template for keeping a clean house inspired by Mrs. Meyer's Clean Home.

u/acespiritualist · -1 pointsr/androidapps

VPNs don't really work on the Play Store afaik. It might be easier getting it from the Amazon app store instead.

https://www.amazon.com/Amazon-com-Amazon-Music-Android/dp/B004FRX0MY

I used to use it with Tunnelbear and it worked fine. Just make sure your VPN and Amazon account are set to the same country.

u/theshoebomber · 1 pointr/androidapps

I use one of [these](
http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0081TXIQA?pc_redir=1411811984&robot_redir=1).
It has a "repeater mode" where it connects to your hotel/whatever WiFi and the rebroadcasts its own network.
It also has a wired lan port and some USB sharing which I don't use.

Bonus feature of any portable router is that once you connect it to whatever hotel you're at, all of your devices will connect quickly/automatically since its your own router and they're already configured to it.

This is nice for me as I road trip and don't usually stay in the same place twice. Some routers can even be flashed with tomato/ddwrt etc... if you're in to that for bridging to a VPN.

There are quite a few models/brands out there with different features such USB key internet sharing, built in battery power and file sharing.

I actually bought the Nabi tablet for both my kids, girls, now age 7 and 5. They have had their tablets since around mid summer 2014.

Very interesting little things. They come with a rubberized "bumper" case. There are two modes, there is Nabi mode, and Mommy/Daddy mode.

  • Nabi mode: is a kid safe mode, they can only play games that you authorize and select while using Mommy/Daddy mode
  • Mommy/Daddy mode: in this mode the tablet is Android 4.4.2.

    I find it to be a little sluggish though, but then again, I'm hard to please, lol.
u/Trek7553 · 2 pointsr/androidapps

I use this one. It sticks out a little far so I can't leave it plugged in all the time, but it works great. I use Torque Pro for the app.

u/dsherman73 · 5 pointsr/androidapps

use 1: Hang it on a wall and use it as a digital photo frame.

use 2: Install it on a hinge bracket and mount it under your kitchen cabinets. Youtube, Hulu, chrome , etc should work. use it for recipies etc.

​

Use 3: Gab something like this https://www.amazon.com/ElementDigital-Bluetooth-Controller-Telescopic-Attachable/dp/B0783538GQ/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1539704739&sr=8-3&keywords=attachable+android+game+controller

even if it is older it should still handle NES, SNES, TG16, and Genesis games well and use it as a retro console.

Use 4: universal home theater remote https://www.cnet.com/how-to/how-to-turn-your-tablet-into-a-universal-smart-home-remote/

Bought 3 before I got one to work on my 02 Grand Prix. GM doesn't work with them all. Of course NONE of the products info tell you this.
Bought the BAFX which worked.

As long as you go to sleep early enough to give yourself 6+ hours of sleep then it should get much easier to wake up on time after a week or so. Until then there's always Clocky

u/mimetic-polyalloy · 1 pointr/androidapps

You should ask what the advantages of that one vs this one are. Mine is a third of the price and posits with my phone, laptop, and tablet running a few different programs.

u/makingtracks · 1 pointr/androidapps

Don't know about best, because I only have one.

BAFX Products - Bluetooth OBD2. $24 shipped from Amazon - http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005NLQAHS

I don't use it for realtime stats, mostly to precheck before getting a smog check.

I dabbled a little bit with the realtime stats, and seems to be working as intended.

Works for what I need it for.
