        Video chat is not possible at the moment.
        See my comment here: https://forums.ubports.com/topic/4754/wish-list-which-apps-do-you-need/112
        And Zoom is not really open source, so we cannot tinker to try and make it work.

          KeePassXC and Nextcloud would make me a happy user. Having to hack around and try to use alternatives and workarounds over a native app is annoying and not the same. Maybe I should add specifically real mobile versions as well. I can get them both on Manjaro Arm but they're the desktop versions and lets just say touch support ain't the best.

          Google Pixel 2
          Ubuntu Touch 16.04 Stable OTA-25

          Volla X23
          Ubuntu Touch 20.04

            Also, it would be amazing if someone could port KDE connect (or GSConnect).

              There is a Kirigami version for Plasma Mobile. Needs a newer qt version though.

                Zoho mail and writer would be awesome. They have linux builds and are designed as responsive web apps. Their websites by conrtast make awful web apps

                    • speach to text app. Or alternatively would be awesome to have a extra button to hold down on keyboard for speach to text while typing.

                    • chess.com app (there is a webapp for it, but doesnt seem to work for most ppl)

                    • screen recording app. I'd love to record my screen while playing chess e.q. or just to make videos to show to my friends how UT looks like and all the things it can do. And maybe post some UT related videos in youtube/lbry.

                    I think thats all I need, the rest of apps that I'm missing are under developement or at beta state, so I belive those will be around soon enough.

                        Not just you, everyone.. šŸ˜‰... but we can hope that (The new) anbox on some smartphones will maybe provide a workaround by allowing mail clients to be installed. But this solution will only be fully useful if there is a gateway to receive email notifications directly on the smartphone, which I don't know @Xray2000

                            I would be happy about an app/ script being able to transfer (via USB) my phone's GPS-data/ stream to my laptop. So I could use my NAVIT-installation on the laptop (big map!) with my phone's GPS-stream...
                            Still dreaming...

                                I guess this is probably unlikely, due to how manufacturers implement FM support (or more often, do not). See https://lists.launchpad.net/ubuntu-phone/msg17256.html for example.

                                  I think import/export data app would be very usefull.

                                    There are many wishes, it is good to dream and so much the better if some of them can be satisfied.
                                    But personally, I still stick to the basics for a use in normal conditions, namely when stability is not present :

                                    • MMS and calls in transmission/reception reliable.
                                    • removal of memory leaks to avoid crashes and thus allow reliable simultaneous use of several apps.

                                    And of course when possible :

                                    • hardware acceleration and webgl support as soon as possible.

                                    About apps :

                                    • a more efficient dekko.
                                    • and i will be happy when flas and InstantPho will work again.

                                      A weather app like the iOS app, Radar Scope.

                                          @stanwood Please forgive the public message, I can not see how to send a private one. Do you use your UT phone for navigation off road?

                                            To complete and close the OT this is how to do it.

                                            You click on the user's icon to see their profile.
                                            There you click on the blue icon with 3 vertical dots.
                                            In the menu choose the first (I think) entry that says "Start to chat with XXX"

                                            That should do the trick.
