Android Starters - a 3rd Opinion
Fond of testing out new phones? Fond of using LineageOS and other custom ROMs? Yes, me too!
It can be just a pain to keep track of all those apps, so I created this list to help myself and others. I try to stay away from big companies that spy a lot and also rather tend to open source wherever possible.
PS: Don't run dry - always keep looking for alternatives. Always try to have another app as fallback. As so often in life, relying solely on one single thing will bring DOOM!
PS2: Still work in progress...
Comments and Reviews
There were and are so many keyboards, most of them look alike and follow the same old concept: Typewriter
sigh
Not this one! I wanted something that I could use with a single hand and also during a bumpy bis ride.
First day I was cursing! First week I almost gave up because I had a hard time configuring it. Second week cursing was gone. That was like 5 years ago :D
Srsly, do NOT expect a seamless experience a la happy happy joy joy but over time you get into it. And finally, typing single-handedly on a bumpy ride is quite the bonus. Over time you will be even pretty fast.
Above all, you can do so many things in the settings: different dictionaries, shortcuts like time stamps, re-arranging letters to your needs if some generic language setting does not suit you.
So much joy, eh?
Well, not really, there is one big bummer: You can export your keyboard but all the minute settings you will have done over time (shortcuts etc) will not be part of it :( Best solution if you switch phones: Walk through your settings and copy as many settings as you can grab (and you will still miss some). That really needs improvement!!!
PS: One more positive thing - if people tend to grab your phone to use it, they will quickly return it with disoriented look after seeing/trying to type and will never bother your phone again :D
I really like the app. I just spent 20 minutes typing in a detailed review only to be told at the end of the captcha verification failed and all of my careful crafting and editing was lost.
I'll try once more...
Ditto to many of the comments raised in the review from March 1st 2023. I also think it's very funny when a friend has to hand the phone back because they have no idea what to do.
If I recall correctly, messages has a training app disguised as a game. Found that very helpful to build the muscle memory and familiarity to become proficient quite quickly.
I have experienced a few minor problems and shortcomings. For some of the technical ones, I can't really be sure if the problem is from messages, from android, or from the two of them trying to work together.
Word prediction initially worked, but now it doesn't, even though the setting shows that it is still selected
The microphone Stomps responding and announces that the app doesn't have microphone permissions. upon checking microphone permissions, I can see that they are indeed granted. the annoying work around I use is to revoke the Privileges and then regrant them. then it will work again until the next time it happens.
Multiple choice voice recognition options also used to work great but I can't seem to get them showing again. This was one of the most attractive features to me that convinced me to try message ease. Much more often than not, one of the five interpretations of my voice would be 100% correct, And it is much quicker to scan and select the correct one than it is to go back and manually edit out the mistakes of a single option.
I wish I could find a rich community of users to ask questions of and share tips with one another. it just occurs to me now to check you too. I would enjoy videos of users who are especially proficient, as I would gladly begin adopting the best practices of others.
Their documentation is quite extensive, but they don't seem to have a search function, and it often takes me a long time to find what I'm looking for, because I don't always know/remember which section to look in.
