You're viewing a single thread.
I can't totally remember when I found these, but they're relatively fresh on my phone. Couldn't live without them now.
- Audile - song recognition
- Findmydevice - lost phone recovery
- Metro - visually pleasing music player
- Paperless Mobile - manage and interact with paperless-ngx servers
- Photok - secure photo storage for sensitive media
How does Audile perform for you?
I tried it out once and it wasn't as reliable as Shazam at identifying the correct song so I just uninstalled it.
I've never used Shazam but did use the music recognition app on pixels when I was the stock ROM. Audile seems that it gets about 80% of what the Google app would get. I'd imagine that would change depending on the kind of music you're often trying to identify though, Audile is probably working with a smaller database of some genres.
Do you normally expect that free as in beer apps are going to be accurate to the degree that a data harvester with years of experience and funding?
I don't disagree with you but sometimes they are, different use scenarios but these are quite impressive:
KeePassDX
AdAway
KDE Connect
Image Toolbox
Fossify Gallery
Calculator You: Math & Units
