I use Deliveries Package Tracker which does all the things you are looking for AFAIK. I'm a paid subscriber so I can have it connected to my Amazon account and automatically pull orders. AfterShip is another option, more minimal and much less customization but works well all the same. TODO.txt has an Android version but I'd personally use Google Keep for something like that.

wolfbiker posted:I use that app but have to add stuff manually. You're saying there's a way to have Amazon orders automatically show up there without doing anything? I have the paid version. Yup, go to Settings > Synchronisation > External. Apparently it doesn't work with 2FA which is a bummer but its very convenient.

What's a good budgeting/financial tracking app that isn't Mint or YNAB? Looking for something clean that supports manual entry transactions and has decent stat breakdowns and stuff.

beerinator posted:They can use the Dark Sky API until the end of 2021 so they have time. They've posted on twitter a couple of times that they're trying out other weather sources. Hopefully something will come through to replace in a year and a half. That's good news. If anyone is looking for a nice clean weather app that uses DarkSky API and don't mind that it will ostensibly be useless in 2 years once the API collapses (or hopefully updated) then check out Forecaster.

hooah posted:This would be great if it had an ongoing notification for current conditions like most other weather apps do. As it is, it's just pretty good. Eh, for my use case I think the widget covers that well enough. I guess it's location-dependent but where I live I don't need to know the weather on a moment to moment basis most of the time.

KinkyJohn posted:So now that google is killing another app which seemed to be perfectly fine, which music streaming service do you recommend instead of Google Play Music? I’ve only been using this and nothing else so I don’t know if spotify or the likes are better I converted from GPM to Spotify about a year ago when they offered a free trial for a few months. I like Spotify much better, it feels like it was built to actually be used instead of built to check "music streaming app" off Google's list. I didn't expect to enjoy the social aspect as much as I do; pretty much all my friends are on it and it is a joy to see what they are listening to and explore publically curated playlists, etc.

Twerk from Home posted:I'm looking for an app that will allow pushing files to an Android device from a computer over the network. I don't care if it's FTP, SMB, NFS, literally anything would work, I just want the ability to start a network share server on an android device, and upload files to it on one computer, then download them on another computer somewhere else. I realize this is a weird dumb request, but does anybody have any recommendations? Not sure if this is the ideal solution but Solid Explorer can start an FTP server over the local network from your phone. And it's just a solid file explorer to boot though I think the built in file explorer is workable on most phones nowadays so.

Have been considering going with Niagara forever. Do you know how they compare if you've used em both?

Incessant Excess posted:I have an issue with my password manager, Bitwarden, on a P6P running Android 13. It often happens I'll open a login screen and the keyboard pops up without the button to enter login details through Bitwarden. I then have to switch to the app drawer and open Bitwarden manually, once it's among the active apps I can (usually) switch back to the login screen and enter my login details through Bitwarden. I've already turned off battery optimization for it, but still I'm often required to manually start the app before I'm able to use it. Has anyone else had this issue and is there a way to keep this from happening? I'm on older Android so I'm not sure how it may have changed but have you tried allowing Bitwarden to be the auto-fill service on the device?

School of How posted:Does anyone know of an app I can use to navigate off road? Where I live there are tons of dirt roads that go off into the wilderness that are not mapped in the google maps system so I can't use google maps for navigation. I can see the roads clearly in google earth, but they are just not in the system. These roads go all over the place and make a ton of intersections with other roads and of course there are no road signs anywhere. Have you checked if OpenStreetMap has them? If so, I forgot what the best available app for using those maps is called but it should be pretty easy to find.

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)

Honestly I've gone back to default OnePlus Launcher after a while on Action Launcher 2/Nova. Most of the best features from third party launchers have trickled down into first party launchers by now and it does everything I need it to without me getting obsessive about setting it up. Something something using your phone instead of endlessly tinkering with it; maybe that's just my age talking.

Lemniscate Blue posted:1) Are there any that tie into Facebook Messenger so I can use their system without putting their actual Messenger app on my phone? I have an account to communicate with a few people who still use that as their primary social media, but I haaaaate their app. It would be useful to be able to message those folks on the go. Right now I only do so when at an actual computer. Try Messenger Lite for a Messenger that is not quite as bloated.

OneSizeFitsAll posted:Just tried Swiftkeys and Gboard out and both seem good. As per above, one thing I liked in Swype was the ability to manually capitalise a letter by swiping it then swiping off the top of the keyboard. That doesn't work on Swiftkeys or Gboard but do either have an equivalent function, acheived differently? Long press the Shift key. Drag your finger to any letter and release. Should work. I think you can also start a swipe on the shift key or something?
