Wish list : which apps do you need?

Moem

@Fla I'd love to contribute but I can't code. So that's not going to happen. Sorry!

Bramble

There is one (exclusive to iOS) app that I miss from my iPhone 3 days - a very simple to use, but powerful database app called TapForms.

I could really use something like that on UT if anyone would care to make it.

Perhaps Symphytum could be forked?

A more complete image edit app. InstanPho is a good app, but lacks some features, like resizing images, or free rotating it (with no crop).

@arubislander thanks I will give it a try.

@Rebecca58 "Video Chat" (Telegram ,Teleports - or Morph via WebRTC) - Ineed it badly, that means daily.

TotalSonic

I second the need for a "red shift" app to make night use easier on the eyes.

You can crop and rotate in the Gallery app.

@Fla
I said resizing, not cropping.

And i talked about free rotation, in galery app it's by quarter. Beside it doesn't work anymore...

Wish for a good Audiobook player and a manga reader app

@Rebecca58
A Briar client would be good too.

TotalSonic

@Keneda - for resizing I find gthumb in a Libertine container can work fine for this, although obviously its interface is clumsy on a mobile device. InstantPho also has some free rotation abilities (within the limit of 25 degrees either way) in its "Adjust" control. Obviously free rotation being added to the Gallery App editor or other native UT app would be a better solution though.

I know that but libertine is far from stable on any device, when it's not just unusable, see on the forum the number of people that had problem with it, even having to reinstall uT from scratch...

My phone is my daily driver, i don't want to beta test on it, and i don't want to loose any data.

And for free rotation, i know in instantpho there is a beginning of it, but, like you said, limited to 25°, and with a zoom effect that prevent from choosing what you want to keep/crop, that's why i said "free rotating it (with no crop)", "zoom and automatic crop" i'd have to say.
Beside, instantpho has its own problems, i opened an issue already : https://gitlab.com/dobey/instantpho/-/issues

Neither Libertine nor Anbox is anything other than a temporary fix. We need to build apps suitable for use on touchscreen devices (across platforms).

I suppose you're Chinese

Those are Chinese market oriented solutions. Do you know if there is a Chinese telegram group ?
It might help to have people able to read Chinese to work on these solutions.

About Alipay (I don't know the specifics) it might be difficult as much as it is almost impossible to get other payment solutions on UT.
But again, I can't read Chinese so I don't have any clue

@kuailexs The Chinese telegram group if it helps https://t.me/UBports_Chinese

I think there are two apps at the moment I need to use UT as daily driver without android support.
Those are Threema and Whatsapp. I know WA wont happen.

What I miss most is a communication/event center like the bb hub. How convinient this is, I think just people, who have used it, understand that. At first I thought the scopes develop to something similar, but those are gone now.

A more efficient keyboard you be nice as well - the bb keyboard is as well an good example.

I would really love to be able to use Bluetooth for handsfree phone calls when driving. This is something that many people need and it's apparently currently not working on OpO.

nogoogle

@Moem
I'll second that. Car audio bluetooth not working are the 10% missing to make it a full daily driver, for everything else there are native solutions or work-arounds I am perfectly happy with. I hope that this will eventually happen with PinePhone where developers have control over the hardware. It is probably unlikely to happen for all supported UT-devices - as far as I understand (using UT on N5, FP2 and PinePhone).
