Hidden Gems: Unveiling Apps That Could Have Enhanced Your Experience Sooner?

Kindly Remember@lemmy.world to Android@lemmy.world – 285 points –

There are a few noteworthy ones that have significantly enhanced my digital experience. Let me share them with you:

  1. Musicolet: It's a fantastic music player with a user-friendly interface. The best part is, it doesn't bombard you with pesky ads like the default music player does.

  2. Cube Acr: If you ever need to record calls, this app is a game-changer. It's the best free call recorder I've tried so far.

  3. Macrodroid: This app lets you automate almost anything you can think of. Personally, I love how it allows me to easily turn on the WiFi hotspot with just a few taps. I couldn't find any other app on the Play Store that offered this feature without requiring root access.

  4. Auto redial: You know those moments when you keep calling a restaurant repeatedly until they finally answer? This app saves you from that frustration. It automatically redials the number for you, making your life much easier.

  5. Dynamic rotation: Auto-rotate can be a bit annoying, right? But sometimes, you do want your screen to rotate. That's where Dynamic Rotation comes in. It prompts you to rotate the app whenever you rotate your screen, giving you more control.

  6. Folder sync: It's surprising that popular cloud apps like Mega don't offer a way to sync folders. Fortunately, Folder Sync fills that gap. You can keep selected folders always in sync without any hassle.

  7. Volume booster: We all come across situations where the audio is too low. This app comes to the rescue by boosting the volume, allowing you to hear even the faintest sounds clearly.

  8. Always on AMOLED by Tomer Rosenfeld: Recently, I dropped my phone in water, and since then, the screen has been acting up, moving randomly. However, I noticed that if I use this app for a while, it stabilizes the screen. It's been a lifesaver for me.

These hidden gems have definitely made a significant difference for me. It's fascinating to think about the missed opportunities had I known about them earlier. But hey, now that we know, we can make the most out of these fantastic apps, feel free to add your list below as well ❤️

Joplin. Organise your notes into notebooks and you can also write them in markdown. You can also save your notes encrypted and syhcronise them with the cloud to have them in all of your devices. Joplin is available in all Operating Systems. Also supposts Nextcloud so it can be self-hosted!

I set up a Nextcloud server recently and have been looking for a decent note app. I'll try it out today. Thanks!

You should definitely try, I have this setup (VPN) on my server for more than 1 year

What do you think about replacing Samsung notes with this? S notes have everything I need but I think the text formattings in it aren't markdown.

I'm not a Joplin user, but I use Obsidian which is similar as it's also in markdown and notes are saved locally or hosted with encryption.

I'd say either app is better than the stock note-taking apps. I've been using Google Keep prior.

I'm biased since I only use Obsidian but I love it, been a power user for a month now.

Feel free to check both out! The link below is what I just searched for and learned about Joplin.

Thanks. Tried both and decided to go with obsidian. Because I can use <span style="color:blue">text</span> in both but Joplin doesn't hide the tags and show the colored text when I move to the next line, Instead only show when I stop editing and save. Obsidian does. I have some notes with a lot of colors so yeah

I havent used Samsubg Notes. However Joplin does not support to "draw" with a Pen.
