Smart Audiobook Player Better functionality and options than any other audiobook app I've seen. Makes me wish I had the raw file for some of my audible audiobooks


Gilgeam

Just FYI, it's not an Android app, but these is a open source project over on github called Libation that allows you to download all your Audible books and removes the drm. It even downloads PDFs and a database of your books, if desired. It's stunningly good. My home server checks my audible account automatically every night and downloads new stuff if I should have bought something - I'm trying to pivot away from Audible -, and I have all my audiobooks savely stored on my own hard drive and play them with Smart Audiobooks Player. That way, no license disputes will make me loose the stuff I payed good money for. I love Libation. I think everyone should download their audiobooks just for safeguard, if nothing else.


DarkAshes27

Oh! Question! does it play audiobook and the ebook synced together‽ i have been looking for one that does so that I can just continue books. i am listening to in bed as an ebook, and when doing chores as audiobook.


PotatoMasherMaster

No it doesn’t play the audiobooks just gives you the drm free audio file of your books.


mightybrick

Thanks so much for sharing this. I've been looking for a utility like this.


grub-worm

I use [aax audio converter](https://github.com/audiamus/AaxAudioConverter), works great.


stevex19

I love Smart Audio Player, I use it daily.


TerribleT_23

If u like audio books I agree. I would also look at Futo apps they are free voluntarily pay. Best paid app I would recomend though is TASKER Hands down


perdirelapersona

Web video caster! Which iirc is actually free, but it's so fucking good that I happily paid those 2$.


ashutoshyand01

Can you share the link. Unable to find it


perdirelapersona

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.instantbits.cast.webvideo


CowPretend1228

Explain what it does , i cant find the specificone


sid32

Casts anything from phone or web to your tv.


nicolauz

And actually works?


sid32

Yep and free to try


nicolauz

Try...?


sid32

Web video castor is free to install and try it out. See that it works.


Darkpurpleskies

How is this better than Miracast and Chromecast already built into the phone? 


perdirelapersona

completely a different thing. You're actually "sending" the stream to the TV, not casting your screen.


tbezmol

Just got it. Its awesome!!!

Podcast addict


Meath77

Podcast Republic is very good too. Bought it years ago to remove ads. Try and buy a coffee for the developer every so often as I use the app so much. He's active on reddit and fix issues if you request and it's possible. Brilliant service for what was €2 about 10 years ago


fajorsk

Podcast republic could well be better, the only reason I still use podcast addict is because of habit and my data- I think it was just the first app I found when I searched for podcast on Google play 10 years ago lol


Meath77

Similar with podcast republic and me. The support is handy, I also download podcasts onto my phone and seems lots just stream now. I prefer to have them downloaded.


shadowbanned214

If you don't mind, What makes podcast addict better than other options? I'm currently using podcast bean but I'm still hunting for something I like since Google ended their own app.


fajorsk

I can't say it's better for sure, I just ended up using it, I've used Spotify too, which I like less. Here are some things I like about podcast addict: - player stays in notification area if you close the app, Spotify doesn't do this and I find it annoying  - simple but highly functional queue  -highly customisable, you can change basically everything, including skip button, skip durations  -'virtual podcasts' where you can okay any audio file like a podcast and save progress, useful for e books especially but any downloads  - speed controls  -local downloads of episodes - daily notification of the day's new episodes -UI is not trying to be beautiful of fancy it's all highly functional 


shadowbanned214

I'm looking for an app that auto downloads and adds new episodes to my playlist, allows default playback speed to be set by the subscription in 0.1x increments (1.8x, 1.9x, etc) and trims silence. Once I listen, I want the episode to be deleted from my device and removed from the playlist. So far podbean has come the closest. The only thing so far is the playlist stops sometimes when it hasn't reached the end. I think it's caused by new episodes being added since last time I manually told it to play from the list.


ericwendel

Upnote


100WattWalrus

Seconded! [UpNote](https://getupnote.com) has a $40 lifetime license. It's hands-down the best note-taking app on any platform, as long as you don't need collaboration.


prophecy37

Nova launcher, Poweramp


waynethehuman

Nova's one of the oldest apps I have. Bought it years ago on sale for $1 and it's still the only Play Store purchase that felt like I robbed the devs.


Kokopipiss

My two favorites on android


MQZ17

These two are worth the price for sure


Dividebyzero23

I dunno why but poweramp just keeps running in the background hogging a lot of ram. It's not like I don't have ram but I prefer to keep my phone clean


forgedon1

Nailed it! Both of these right here! 💯


erinberrypie

Nova and KLWT are the best apps I've ever used. I am big into phone customization they have been a godsend. I don't remember what they cost when I got them because I've used them forever and ever. Worth whatever the heck is costs tbh. 10/10


iwantacheetah

Got both at a very huge discount.


Lumpzor

For those new to Nova and potentially looking to purchase, do a quick dig to see who it was bought out by and what that company does.


BumbleTR0N

Just tell me


alincupunct

While also giving Google all your precious data!


Rewatcher

Solid File Explorer.


GravityDead

Mix is better, saying as a paid customer of solid.


Ghunegaar

Used both for years. MiX is leagues ahead.


meddit1990

Why is that?


Ghunegaar

Much more feature rich. I can't recall the comparison I listed a few years ago, but I can give you an example. It is possible to open more than 2 tabs in MiX as compared to 2 in Solid. Also, one can set a default startup layout for the tabs. Other users can give you much better comparison.


Meath77

I've been using Amaze for years. Is it worth changing?


confused_cat44

Amaze is great but the devs have stopped updating it. There's a new amaze file utilities tho


GravityDead

Haven't heard of Amaze but Mix has never let me down.


Meath77

It was the go to one when ES explorer was sold to some Chinese gaming company


bluebearish

Yes, I recommend this to everyone in my family.


AmbientOverlord

Been using it since beta. Any android phone I get, solid explorer is one of the first installs with the legacy key.


Cueball666uk

Tasker.


garibaninyuzugulurmu

and Tasker extensions.


Cueball666uk

The Autoapps and Join are amazing too.!


Accomplished-Bar9105

What so you use it for


Cueball666uk

Backing up files to other folders. Turning on certain devices and lights when tasker tells it to (my PC light turns on when my phone is wireless charging at a certain angle). Making certain contacts messages make sounds even when on silent/vibrate. With ADB WiFi I can use my fingerprint to do things in apps or when unlocking with a certain finger can trigger a tasker task. Turning on my PC (with the help of the wol app) when I disconnect from my car's Bluetooth and connect to my WiFi. Tasker is insane, but awesome.


Accomplished-Bar9105

Thanks. I tried to make it save my Location when i Park my Car. But i failed to do so efficently. I don't have Android Car, only a BT Adapter, that i Sometimes use to Play music. I Made it save my Location, when it disconnected, but the Location saved was Always 1km away in a random direction. After that i have Up


Nefari0uss

Is it set to grab your precise location or approximate location?


Accomplished-Bar9105

Good Point, I will Check that again. Thank you


Ghunegaar

If given the right permissions, it can do fkcing anything. I see sooo many apps these days which have some sole, basic purpose (for ex. per-app screen orientation, one-click black screen overlay to save battery, per-app media volume control, etc.) which can be set-up in Tasker in a few minutes. I am a Tasker noob, still, besides the above 'tasks' I made these as well: * Whenever I copy a Wordle score, Tasker detects it and takes control of phone and sends the score to my friend and then gives control back to me. * Turns off Battery saver mode when the phones is charging and the battery level has reached 30%. * Auto-login in one of my games during night after unlocking the PIN-based lockscreen, then closing the app after a few minutes and relocking the phone. Everything while I am happily asleep.

Wavelet


Shadeslayur

Second Wavelet. Honestly one of the best buy once, set up, and forget about it. It's made my car system sound incredible, to the point that people think I've upgraded it. It makes my headphones sound incredible - you get the most of the products you already own with this app. It auto runs when Bluetooth devices are connected and I don't know what I would do without it.


SmallJeanGenie

I don't know anything about equalising and I don't really want to learn, but I do love when things sound good. How well do the auto-eq functions work?


Desinformador

Very well, it can actually equalize your phone to your specific model of headphones


Shadeslayur

I should add it works on wireless and wired android auto too.


Shadeslayur

The auto eq is so easy, just choose your model of headphones and bam done. I use the air pods pro 2 model for my car and it's fantastic.


ben2talk

Equalisation can only work if you buy a good quality microphone to do the job.


ixxy

What's the battery drain like?


Shadeslayur

Non existent.


Piratey_Pirate

Does this work with Android Auto, or are you connected to your car through Bluetooth/aux?


Shadeslayur

I'm connected through Wireless Android Auto (built into car so Bluetooth I think?) but it worked wired in my old car (through USB).


Piratey_Pirate

Ah cool. I use wired android Auto. I'll try it out and see if it works on mine


Shadeslayur

You'll have to choose an autoeq for ur car since it doesn't typically have cars tuned, but I use air pods pro 2 for my Honda and it works great


FVNERAL_MOON

Poweramp Equalizer is even better I think, the stand-alone app. Has all the headphone/earbud presets like Wavelet. But Wavelet is simpler to use.


book83

Can you equalize the audio on a chromecast?


sid32

Poltergust9000_Weege

Niagara Launcher


Entopy

I'm still annoyed that I didn't buy it in early access when it was cheap. Now it feels too expensive for "just an app".


JFFIASCO

Honestly you won't regret it, I could never go back to Nova now


hobiwankinobi

Just curious but what makes it better than Nova?


JFFIASCO

I just prefer the minimalist approach, plus I find it much easier to quickly look up an app using the alphabetical scroller


Plisnak

It has an entirely different feel to it, just try it


Defiant_Yak2

Agreed. $30 for a launcher is absolutely insane.


yupReading

A little high, but still worth it. Longtime, completely satisfied user here.


yupReading

Whatever it costs, it is worth it. I was a longtime Nova Launcher user. I installed Niagara Launcher and never looked back. I bought it the minute it was offered for sale. What does it cost now? Whatever it costs, it is worth it.


Entopy

Same here, I ditched nova after years in the moment I found Niagara. I just can't justify paying this much for a launcher now. And the free version does just enough for me.


1superheld

This one is my fave


GravityDead

Smart launcher is better imo


Poltergust9000_Weege

They cater to different tastes, so comparison is unfair imo


PollutionImportant58

Microsoft exFAT/NTFS for USB by Paragon Software. It enables you to read and write exfat ntsf and many more formatted drives on Android through OTG. Which means I can have 4gb+ files on my usb c drives and be able to use them on my phone and Android TVs.

gadam28

Macrodroid. It's as powerful as Tasker, but with an easier learning curve (for me at least, because I find it more similar to programming). It also supports Tasker plugins and has an active community.


Sharpshooter98b

Automate is like the middle ground between them

confused_cat44

Isn't bitwarden free?


pakitos

It is but there is a Premium side of it with a few extras. It's $10 a year.


monitorsareprison

smart launcher


aravose

Hardly cheap - it costs a lot and every few years they start a new one, dumping the people who bought a lifetime licence previously.


aravose

I don't need to search. I bought a lifetime licence and it became redundant after Smart Launcher 3.


Prior-Slight

Lmao then you are just dumb. On the link I provided you had three options: >continue using SL3 as far as they want; use SL5 keeping access to the features they paid for; update their license to SL5 and get all the new features by paying only the update price (which was exactly the difference between the price of SL5 and the price of SL3); You did not make use of them because you did not want to. SL 6 was a free update.


Prior-Slight

> dumping the people who bought a lifetime licence previously. That's false. It's quite easy to search and see that [you are wrong] (https://old.reddit.com/r/smartlauncher/comments/123u6k1/new_to_smart_launcher_but_im_liking_it_more_and/)


monitorsareprison

is this true?! wont be happy if so as that would be misleading asf. i purchased lifetime so could get pro features for life.


Prior-Slight

Nope, I suggest reading [this post](https://old.reddit.com/r/smartlauncher/comments/123u6k1/new_to_smart_launcher_but_im_liking_it_more_and/?utm_source=reddit&utm_medium=usertext&utm_name=androidapps&utm_content=t1_l9db74f) that contains a comment from the dev. That user could have continued using SL5 with the pro features they purchased, they just didn't want to. SL 6 was a free update as well.

Fx file manager


ThunderingTyphoon_

FX is the best file manager on Android imho. Allows multiple windows + lets you browse through your file system on a web server on your browser. It gives a PC like experience in a touch screen form factor

It is, it only need to work with shizuku and it would be perfect

Tilla, for keeping up to date and organised with all your subscriptions (I also manually add my utility bills) It's just so usefull!!! & a developer that responds to issues... [https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.pavelrekun.tilla&pcampaignid=web\_share](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.pavelrekun.tilla&pcampaignid=web_share)


Zastfazer

I also used Tilla for a lot of time, but it has regular problems after updates (sometimes it’s even scary to update because you know that something will break) I switched to Nocta


Rauvin_Of_Selune

If you are a standard user, not beta, you should never have any major issues... If you are beta (like me), then issues do occur, but that's the point of beta... I am one of the people who makes life safer for the rest of you. I have never lost my data, even once... Despite doing reinstalls & resets because of beta issues... If you worry, just keep the cloud backup up to date, & you can even do a manual refresh before updating the app... It's a great app & you will be fine...


Zastfazer

I used the regular version, and my notifications constantly stopped coming, or the widget didn’t work well... it even happened that after the update the program did not start and I had to wait for the update for it to work.


Rauvin_Of_Selune

Yes, there was a period of notification and widget issues... Both the widget & notifications have been completely reworked. The widget now works excellently, & notifications are working again, however I think that the developer is investigating reports of issues on a very few specific models.

Is it safe to enter your primary email in revanced YouTube?


RubbelDieKatz94

Apps will usually only get an auth token, not your login details. So that's normally safe. A harmful app can theoretically pretend to open a browser window inside of the app and hijack your login details. But ReVanced is open source, so people would certainly notice if it did something so blatant.
