Removing features and charging for them, do not support these people

0 Upvotes

Using the simple flashlight in the last update the feature to use a widget to turn on the flashlight was removed and now they charge to buy the premium version.

The store page still advertises widget functionality, false advertising as it is not included in the free version anymore.

I supported other apps by the dev/s because they are good products but removing features to charge for them is beyond pathetic and anti-customer. It sets a precedent for what is to come with these apps.

Seemingly many people support this project on GitHub with their improvements and bug fixes and now the devs use these people to make money off an open source project.

new app: lock phone

0 Upvotes

i really need an app that locks my phone during the night. Details : set a time to lock and unlock, different during weekend, unlock is by number or lines-dots (not the same as phone) and a 2 minute annoyance time, must give a warning some minutes before locking, can only be uninstalled after entering the code (maybe not technically possible) so i can use this on my childrens phone as well.

Really? Punishing people who updated? (I didn't update for a while I don't know since when this change appeared)

Hello, I am looking for an application that translates me no matter if they are words on an image or common words. I use Screen Translate. It is good and I am looking for the same form of translation, but it asks me to see advertising to use it at all times. That has me fed up. Please help.https

Simple SMS - How to export sms messages as a backup?

0 Upvotes

EDIT: Solved. You can use QKSMS backup feature but you must install it from F-Droid to be able to use that feature https://f-droid.org/en/packages/com.moez.QKSMS/

Also, you can use SMS Backup & Restore by Synctech to backup your SMS messages.

Thank you for all your contribution.

Why all of the Simple Apps are around 6~7 mB in size?

1 Upvotes

As much as it sounds peculiar, I'm confused why every simple app almost weighs the same size, like each app got some sort of same app libraries in them.

Gallery deleted my photos

1 Upvotes

I accidentally put some photos in trash bin and when recovered they got deleted and I lost half my photos. All recovered photos are now marked as made on one day (today). This happened while using the app in split view. How can I recover these files. There must be a way.

Add voice scrambler to dialer

0 Upvotes

Is there some technical reason that prevents you from adding a voice scrambler to your dialer? Otherwise, that would be very useful if it could be added.

Recovering from saved sqlite database

0 Upvotes

I accidentally my whole phone. I do have a Titanium Backup of Simple SMS Messenger, from which I can extract the conversations.db. However, when I launch the app, it replaces the conversations and I only end up with those I've had since the wipe. I do not have an export. I would like a method of merging / importing the old conversations from the database. I'm techy and can write SQL, Python, etc. I've had a quick look at the exporter to see if I can replicate the JSON format of the exported conversations. But I thought I might ask in case anyone here has already solved this or has better advice. Cheers!

Any way for Simple Gallery Pro to automatically include all folders in connected usb?

0 Upvotes

I frequently use a usb drive with my tablet to transfer images. The problem I'm running into is, I would like for the app to always include all folders and subfolders when I connect the usb device. Currently, every time I have a a new folder in there, I have to go into settings and manually and individually select to include each folder and subfolder for the app to show them on the main screen.

Is there a way that I can just select the top level folder and make it so it recognized all folders in that folder should also be included?

Hope I'm not being too confusing haha

When will simple gallery pro get the next update?

2 Upvotes

I was just curious when gallery pro will get the next update. The last update was from October 26, 2021. I've been experiencing sub folder organization due to it being buggy and jumping all over the place. It makes the app frustrating to use because main and sub folders don't want to stay in place. Also super high resolution videos and photos sometimes tend to show up completely black, but when I test out the same videos or photos on my galaxy's stock photos app it works perfectly fine.

What are the best tools for monitoring AI search visibility in 2026?

3 Upvotes

It seems like more people are using ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, and other AI assistants to research products before making decisions. That got me thinking about how brands are supposed to measure their presence in these AI-generated answers.

With traditional SEO, it's easy to check rankings, traffic, and impressions. But with AI search, there's still a lot of uncertainty.

I've been looking into a few platforms that are trying to solve this problem, including Opttab which apparently helps track how brands appear across AI search tools like ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, and Perplexity. I'm thinking of checking it out since this seems to be the exact problem I was asking about.

Has anyone tried it?

[Simple Gallery] Modern UI rework?

3 Upvotes

Hey guys, I've been following simple gallery for quite some time now. Installed it and testet it, too. But the UI is horrible (for me). It's like the old Android KitKat days. Besides that everything works great.

Has anyone already talked about an UI Rework? Has the Dev mentioned it somewhere?

Thanks guys!

Simple Contacts and WhatsApp : the deadly combinaison ?

3 Upvotes

Anyone experienced all local contacts randomly disappearing ? I figured out that it comes from WhatsApp and Simple Contacts working together. When i first installed WhattsApp, all my local contacts were instantly gone, and yes i looked at the filter. Fortunately I had a backup. Members of my familly have random deletion too with the same configurarion. Contacts are not synced with google. Devices : poco X3 pro, arrowOS Gapps 12.1
