just scrolling trough my phone, here's some I like

app opps - lets you change permissions for apps, handy if you want to have multiple things playing audio or use google photos without it scanning your phone.

calcu - it's a calculator!

simple draw - exactly what it says on the tin

es file explorer pro - versatile, but not bloated

moon+ reader pro - a handy reader for all sorts of docs, including search etc

polarr - a photo editing app with features not a lot of apps have. The devs are pushing some dumb filters tho

handy photo - same as polarr

mx player pro - got videos to play?

poweramp - a music player

poweramp equalizer - is what it says on the tin

sd maid pro - for clearing out old files and such

poweraudio plus - used to be the only app with a parametric equalizer. Now poweramp does too

ultrachron - just a nice timer/stopwatch

unified remote - a remote control app, be careful tho, I doubt this thing is secure

web video caster - also downloads videos from plenty of places

and a couple more apps, where the developer has decided to pull the lifetime license and move to a subscription, even after I had bought it

officesuite pro - it's handy, but f them

So I've used Moon reader pro for several years and love it, but I cannot get reading states to sync between my Samsung phone and Samsung tablet. The book files are named exactly the same on both. I've tried syncing using Google Drive and Dropbox. It treats the books as two separate reading states, though I see the metadata/reading states file edited in Google Drive upon reading for a bit. Any suggestions?

I don't have it installed right now, as I've been trying out a FOSS reader for a while now on my new phone, but there is a troubleshooting section about syncing on their site, and also they recommend this guide made by a user discussing sync troubleshooting.

It's not a feature I've used, so maybe those guides have something you haven't tried. Since you replied to me though, I feel partially responsible for making sure you get helped now. ๐Ÿ˜…

Thanks for reminding me! I have the free version of unified remote and have been meaning to upgrade.

Heads up, SD Maid is being rebuilt as SD Maid SE now with more/better features.

[โ€“] Boomkop3@reddthat.com 1 points 1 month ago

Already purchased it. I'm still missing some features, so I currently use both
