They're finally coming stateside.

I have quite a few on my phone. Here they are by my folders:

Communication

  • Zoom - The ubiquitous teleconference app. This is a weird one to include, but I do pay a subscription for the pro features.

Creativity

  • Artflow - Probably the best drawing app on Android. It's certainly the best native app.
  • BoxySVG - This is a PWA, but it works pretty well on Android devices with pen support.
  • Lumafusion - Video editor. Definitely the most professional of the choices available.

Development

  • Acode - For quick edits to my web apps on my Galaxy Tab or through Dex on my phone.
  • Go Compiler - For golang tinkering...

Entertainment

  • Podcast Republic - Best app I could find that works well on tablets and foldables.
  • Scribd for Samsung - Ebook & Audiobook reading service that I subscribe to.
  • Inoreader - RSS reader I subscribe to.
  • Sync for Lemmy - The only Lemmy app for tablets and foldables.

Files

  • Solid Explorer - The best file management app on Android
  • FolderSync - Best file syncing app on Android
  • Download Navi - Download manager. It's ok.
  • Flud+ - Torrenting app.

Finance

  • Bluecoin - Good way to manage finances on the go.

Productivity

  • Sesame Search - Quicker to get around the OS.
  • Tasker - the automation app
  • Boosted - Time tracker
  • Mondly Language - Language learning

Utilities

  • Adguard - No ads.
  • Surfshark - For gps spoofing.

Writing

  • Atticus - PWA novel writer.
  • Jotterpad - Shortform writing app. Used to be subscribed, but I also own the one-time purchase.
  • Nebo - Handwriting notes app that converts to text.
  • Noteshelf - Good notes app that I sometimes use.

I have a bunch of games and watchfaces, too.

 

Looks like the cloud gaming push might play off after all... we'll have to wait and see.

The version in Game Launcher works well, but mobile games generally suck...

I'm hopeful this is being done in advance of Samsung partnering with a big developer to port console games to Galaxy devices.

These people don't even know what regular humans want/need. They're content to use half-baked software with 70% of the features, and feel like everyone should do the same.

For all the ridiculous FOSS zealots, why are you even here? This software isn't kosher to your religion.

 

ChromeOS will probably just get lumped into Android at some point.
