Bubble browser

Would anyone be interested in reviving the Flynx concept for modern Android?

I used Flynx for years (and I still do) and absolutely loved the way it handled links: tapping a link would open it in a small floating bubble while I could continue using the app I was in. I could open several links, let them load in the background, and read them later.

Unfortunately, Flynx has been abandoned for years and doesn't work properly on newer versions of Android anymore. I've tried alternatives such as Lynket and other bubble browsers, but none of them provide the same experience reliably on modern Android.

Would any Android developer be interested in creating a modern, actively maintained version of this concept?

I don't necessarily mean an exact clone of Flynx — just the same core idea, properly adapted to current Android versions.

I honestly think there is still a demand for this. There are multiple old Reddit threads with people asking for exactly the same thing, but there still doesn't seem to be a good modern solution.

Is there anything similar to PicSayPro for image editing?

It was a fairly basic/crude picture editing app from the old days of Android. But it worked so well and quickly with its layout. All the features it had, quickly accessible. I see quite a few others these days, but would just love to get another one that worked as well as PicSayPro on modern android.

Touchpnt

There's this app called "Touchpnt" on the app store (black and blue fingerprint logo). It's supposed to help you scroll social media less by helping remind you to call text friends and family. Can someone tell me how to use it? I'm at the homepage but I don't know what to do from there. I liek the concept and could definitely scroll less. Crazy fact: if you spend two hours on IG a day, you're spending a whole month on IG per year. wtf

Note Taking App for Android with Handwriting Correction? (Need Recs)

Hello! I am looking for some recommendations for apps on Android that support handwriting correction/cleanup, similarly to how the Notes app on iOS cleans up one's handwriting slightly. I use an OPPO Pad Mini with Oppo Pencil 3 for reference, so something proprietary like Samsung Notes would be out of the question. I don't mind a membership fee if it comes to that, just something that works well. I'm looking forward to hear what recommendations you guys have 😁

Is there an app that notifys you when your wifi has disconnected?

My wifi disconnects at random times, and I don't know unless I manually check my connection in Settings. Is there an app that instantly tells you when your wifi has disconnected?

App for Instant English Word Definitions

When reading an e-novel, there are many English words that I don't understand. Is there an app, basically a third-party app, that, after I give it permission, lets me click on a word and gives me a simple definition instead of translating it into my native language?

I need a radio app with no ads (willing to pay one-time)

My dad is 80 years old, don't use phones, and we can't find a good, portable analog radio for now, so I gave him a simple android, but he has no idea of what to do when a ad appears, is there a paid (one-time purchase) radio app that is easy to use?

Motorola phones has built-in radio app that is pretty good, but it requires a external anthena (plugged in the audio jack), and my dad don't like any type of headphones/buds either, speakers only.

calendar app that DOESN'T have the ability for family sync (or anything else)

i am so tired of being convinced my personal events (friends' birthdays, appointments, etc) i make in google calendar won't be forcibly synced to My Dad after i disable some setting or another, only for it to happen again like a month later. i don't even want syncing with Anything to be a Possibility. i want the dumbest calendar known to man that isn't made of paper. please. i just want an app that will notify me a few days before Event and the day of Event and literally nothing else no other features at all even a little not even optional ones. if it uses the same calendar system every other app does i'm convinced it will continue wiping my settings and sharing John Friendfromcollege's birthday with every family member i've ever had.

Movie streaming apps not working on android 16

I was trying to open free movie streaming apps such as filmplus , cineplus , nova tv , this evening on the 19th of August and none of the above would open for me...is there anyone else with the same issue on samsung galaxy a56?

I tried forcing stop and clearing the app cache with no luck

I tried to use an older version on one of the apps and it wouldnt open either


If anyone has a similar working app that they could recommend, then please too ... it would be important to have the option to connect to chromecast through the app

What are the best scanning apps these days?

I used to use Office Lens (later Microsoft Lens), but it was retired earlier this year in favor of OneDrive's built-in scanning function (limited to 10 pages per doc for no reason). Now OneDrive scanning has been gutted even further, I can only scan single page documents, so I'm in the market for a nice third party app. Paid apps are okay, subs are not okay. All I need is smooth high quality scanning, PDF export, automatic OneDrive sync. What is the best option today?
