  • Thanks . Tried it out but the widget I Wowz ‘Current 2’ does not display the barometric reading when I place on home screen.

    Only displays two of 4 meausurements on that particular widget.

    The measurements I would like displayed on my weather widget are

    1. Barometric Pressure
    2. Relative Humidity
    3. Dew Point
    4. UV Index
    5. Air Quality
    6. Basic measurements like temp, wind speed, etc.
    7. Severe weather alert indicator

    Bonus would be precipitation chance percentage. When Ilookeed through WEOWOW options didn’t see one where I could customize to get my list of wants on one or twowidgets setup.

    I am willing to pay as in one time payment for this weather widget.






  • KISS launcher

    Especially when pairing it with the Panels App

    KISS has a small footprint is very fast and really makes my smartphone experience super efficient. I toggle minimalistic on, change search engine to Brave/DuckDuckGo, set my six most used apps as favorites which then show as icons at home screen bottom, assign tags to shortcuts such as favorite websites or tools such as compass, barometer, speed meter, distance calculator, etc.

    You can have a tag category show up as a window from the bottom right settings menu.

    Kiss also has a very effective search component. Literally the only scrolling needed will be doom scrolling on ones favorite social media app.

    Widget functionality could be better but can be supplemented by said Panels app.

    I have used hundreds of Android Apps since my first smartphone around 10 years ago and KISS is my most favorite of all (open source or regular) due to how its impacted how I use my phone.








  • I stumbled upon a useful website but come to find out its also a web app?!

    The domain is .app. So what is cool is I was able to create its own entry in my phones app list by clicking the add to Home Screen button on Firefox.

    My question is where can I find a website with lists of these with categories even

    I didn’t have much success with search engine queries. Thanks!.


  • Samsung phones have so many quality of life improvements over the default Android experience that I don’t think I can get away from them just from software alone (why do you have to scroll down twice to change the brightness on normal Android it’s the most important function in the quick menu)>

    Only have to scroll down once but using two fingers. I am using Android 12 Motorola UX. I assume that stock Android would be similar.


  • I’ve had several Samsung phones over the years and do not like how bloated their apps have become like Samsung Notes, Samsung Health, and such. I liked their software experience when S5 was released much better. Remember Milk Music? 🙂

    The only reason to buy a Samsung these days is their top shelf hardware but primarily in. their flagships. Also had hardware issue with last Samsung flagship device I owned and then awful tech support from Samsung to boot.

    Moto has really upped their game especially in their Moto G 2023 5G models.(U.S. here) I’ll be sticking with Moto mid-range going forward.
