This list of apps is ridiculous and none of them were even noteworthy.

Titanium Backup is the exception for me. All the others... 🤷‍♂️🙋‍♂️

I enjoyed Swype before it sold out to Microsoft.

It was a really excellent keyboard.

[–] SecretSauces@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Best keyboard I've ever used. I even used a deprecated version for a long time before it just stopped working on my phone.

RIP Swype for sure. It was so much more accurate than anything else, short of physical keyboard buttons.

Google Play music was pretty good. simple and effective. easy to use.

Google podcasts was trash

YouTube music is ... well it's just kinda bad

wait, do I have that backwards? is it Google Podcasts that was good, and Google Play music that was trash? one of them was basically impossible to use for podcasts, like if you just wanted to find what you had downloaded, that was literally not an option you had to go to the podcast and then filter by downloads
