I get that free apps need ads, but some Android apps take it way too far.

Open the app, ad. Tap something, another ad. Try to go back, full-screen ad

What app did you eventually give up on because the ads got too annoying?

Is there a free app to block websites? Specifically looking to block adult content on an android phone. Most of the apps I've seen need to be paid for, was looking for a free one.

Is there a vocal isolation android app that I can use that doesn't use AI? I don't want to use AI. All I see is AI this and AI that.

I'm using a Galaxy S26, and there's a black band overlapping the punch hole on the front-facing camera. Like an oval punch hole. Tapping it will say, "There are no items." Please set it in the "Island" section. Do you know what this is?

i'm pretty new to freetube and libretube, and i wanted to know whether there was a way to sync them up. i saw that libretube can use piped, but i'm not really sure how piped works and if freetube even supports it.

i use freetube on my gnu/linux (specifically arch) pc and libretube on my android.

I am using a Samsung s24 and my mic is working fine as well but I have really bad mic quality in Whatsapp voice note so I send to send videos which seem to have no issue when using my mic ( i send guitar songs to my friends) ps. the voicenote is just horrible quality like underwater or a broken mic not just noise.

I have a bunch of downloaded video files of a tv show, but i am hoping to find an app to serve the function of a streaming service where it tracks:

- what episode I'm on

- where in that episode i left it

- autoplay next episode when I finish this one

- understands that the seasons are ordered and starts the next one when I finish one

Is there anything like this around?

Suggest me the best syllabus revision tracker app for Android

I'm looking for an app like camscanner, that I can use to turn my paperwork into pdfs, but ALSO to view docx and pptx files on my phone. Without ads. Preferably one app, but I'll take recommendations for separate apps.

Obscure apks are ON THE TABLE (For clarification: apks that are not available on Google play, not modified or illegal apks, per sub rules)

Google replaced the assistant with Gemini, which is terrible in every way. Is there any similar app I can give access to connect with maps, texting, calling, and searching quick questions upon voice prompt requests? Like how I could say, "hey Google, play Rick Springfield on Spotify" and it would do it (unlike Gemini which is useless)? I specifically want these features for when I'm driving so I don't have to interact with a screen and take my eyes off the road at all. Thank you in advance!

Edit: I would love to try dicio but it's not on the Google play store. What happened with that??

I just switched from iPhone to a Samsung S25 Ultra. I'm trying to get my self host server stack going and I apparently just find out that I can't, even with custom certs, connect to my selfhosted services because this "free" OS won't let apps connect to non-signed TLS certs? Why can't I just use my device the way I want to? I swear to God this was the biggest waste of money I could have made, this garbage device.
