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

Thank you. That's very kind.

Hello,

I was wondering if searx.info could be added to the list of search engines in the Morph browser.

Thank you.

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.

@AppLee
Ah okay - a page refresh sorted that. Thank you.

There's been an update today, and I'm pleased to report that this very useful app is working again!

Thanks, Tim.

With respect... Ubuntu Touch was touted as the OS suitable for all use-cases: that was the whole point of convergence.

I wonder if, slowly, measure by measure, we're losing parts of the original vision.

Nevertheless, he's right: some apps are only relevent for the phone. All unnecessary apps ought to be removable*. My bug-bear is the external storage app on the N5.

This isn't just a phone os.

And Go away and use Android ought never to be the response of someone who takes a moderator role on this board.

I know that the real reason is that the apps were baked in.

It was good to see an update of the Calendar app this morning: I've often thought that the flipside to a calendar app - using the same resources - is a ToDo list... Perhaps the maintainer might consider adding that functionality. (They could perhaps take inspiration from nitrotsks)
