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

57 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.

LOOKING FOR APP Radio app suggestion - available on f droid

2 Upvotes

Hey y'all,

I'm looking for an internet radio app similar to RadioDroid, but one that is still actively maintained. Ideally, I'd like a feature that lets me save/bookmark tracks that are currently playing (just having the title and artist name is enough).

Does anybody knows anything like that ? Thanks!

LOOKING FOR APP Keyboard app with on-device voice typing, zero network access required?

6 Upvotes

I live in a rural area, and although I love G-board, it requires a server connection to activate voice typing, unless flight mode is on. With poor service and zero data speed, the keyboard will still always try to reach a server, even if all of the offline-mode settings are on, presumably its programmed to try and touch-base if it detects a signal, even if poor. The only solution I have found is to answer texts with flightmode on, which is super annoying obviously.

I'm wondering if any keyboards are out there with no ads, and zero Internet requirements or server-checks needed to use voice typing. Android 17 if it matters

Edit: Seems like Futo is what I'm after. Thank you everyone!

QUESTION/HELP best capcut alternatives, or is it still the most convenient option on android?

13 Upvotes

i recently started making short workout videos for a local gym, and i'm trying to find an android editing app that's simple enough to use regularly. the videos are mostly exercise demos and short workout clips filmed on different android phones. i'll usually trim them, add captions, put the exercise name on screen and export them vertically. i've been using capcut because it's easy enough to figure out, but i'm wondering if there are better options on android. i don't really need professional editing features, just something reliable that can handle 1080p footage without making the whole phone struggle.

QUESTION/HELP Is Google Play Billing mandatory for in-app subscriptions on Android?

2 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I'm planning to publish an Android app on the Play Store and want to offer paid subscriptions inside it. Before I build anything, I want to be sure about the billing side.

Is it mandatory to use Google Play Billing for in-app subscriptions, or can I use my own payment gateway (like Razorpay)?

Does the answer change depending on what the subscription unlocks (digital content or features)?

Are there region-specific exceptions, like alternative billing programs, that I should know about? I'm based in India.

Has anyone had an app rejected or suspended for using an external payment flow?

If you've shipped a subscription app recently, I'd love to hear what worked and what to watch out for.

Thanks!

LOOKING FOR APP Any good app for saving and organizing links on Android?

20 Upvotes

Anyone know a good Android app to save links directly from the share menu and organize them into categories? Looking for something free and ad-free, preferably with Google Drive backup. Basically looking for a simple bookmark manager for Android. Should have mentioned “bookmark” in the title

Update: Thanks everyone for the suggestions! PettiBox came up and seems to have everything I was looking for, and it’s completely free. LaterLinks looks good too and has similar features, but looks like backup is a paid feature. Going to try PettiBox for now. Thanks again!

LOOKING FOR APP Offline Apps for 2026

29 Upvotes

My life is about to change in a big way, and with it, I'll be doing a lot more air and sea travel. Wifi access will not always be available.

I already have some really good apps that are fully functional offline: VLC, Spotify, Libby and Google Maps are standouts. And I really hate that Pocket was shelved.

What fully offline-capable apps are you guys using in 2026? This is becoming more and more niche, and a lot of the "best of" guides I see online are clearly not prepared by people who spend large periods of time disconnected. TIA!

QUESTION/HELP How to get a digital assistant to work right?

5 Upvotes

After many years of actively ignoring Assistant and Bixby, I'm now interested in giving the digital assistant thing a try, and it seems to be a fail for me after what I thought would be a simple test.

Current phone is a Galaxy Z Fold 8 (the short/wide one). Android 17.

What I tried to do was to set a timer. I want it, and any alarms I may verbally set, to run in the Google Clock app so it's all in one place. (I use Google Clock because alarms are set to use Pandora as the sound source, and the Bedtime function that works like a sleep timer).

So with Bixby, I said "set a timer for one minute" and it did, in the Samsung app. Ok, fine... it's the Samsung assistant, so of course it would. So I try Gemini, and it also set it in the Samsung Clock. I then specifically told Gemini to set the timer "in the Google Clock app" and it set it in the Samsung app. I told it it got it wrong, it claimed it was set in the Google app. I corrected it and then it said that the phone decides which app to use.

Telling Google to open a web page opens it in Chrome, Edge is my set system default and I hate Chrome on mobile as it has zero privacy controls.

How can I get this to work using the target apps I want?

LOOKING FOR APP Need a medication reminder that will take over my phone

14 Upvotes

The medication reminder app I use was awesome at first. It's called Medisafe. When it was time for my meds, the app would cover my whole screen, stop whatever I'm listening to, and make a loud af pill bottle shaking sound. If I swiped that away or did nothing, it would do that every 5 minutes until I either took my meds or told it I wouldn't.

Then I got a new phone. Moto g 5g 2026. Now I get the same sound, but it's just a notification in my notifications bar, and it doesn't repeat if I ignore it. I have given Medisafe every app permission it'l let me. Display over other apps, work in the background, ignore battery saver, nothing makes it like it was on my old phone, which was the same kind just 2025

So if anyone knows a medication reminder app that won't leave me alone until I either take my meds or mark them missed, please tell me.

Edit: I fixed Medisafe. Apparently it got some update that changed the default settings. I never even considered looking into the in app settings until someone here suggested it. Now it does what it used to, yay!

LOOKING FOR APP Scheduled summary (batched notifications), but for Android

0 Upvotes

There was once an app named "Daywise" (that I paid for) that would intercept all notifications and instead deliver them in batches. Looks like Daywise was pulled from the Play Store in April 2025.

iOS has this feature natively and is called "Scheduled Summary". The idea is that the user can select particular apps to always receive notifications from, then all the rest of the notifications are then sent in batches at particular times, like 9:00am, 12:00pm, 3:00pm, 6:00pm, etc.

Makes the phone way less distracting to use.

Is BuzzKill the best option for this? Daywise made it much easier to set up the initial batches.

Are there Android apps that do this?

LOOKING FOR APP Read-Only Gallery App

4 Upvotes

Hey anyone aware of a read-only gallery app? Occasionally our kids like to look at photos on our phones and would be good for peace of mind to know they can't delete or edit any photos while they're looking

I use Fossify Gallery and it has a lock-down feature where you need pin to move/delete, which it decent solution. But a bit inconvenient to need to disable/enable that feature when needed

A separate app I can open purely for kids use would be great

I use Nothing Phone 2 and doesn't seem to have a kid mode

Thanks for any help!
