      Is it more or less a replacement for Play Store?

        If possible, F-Droid could/should be used as your first stop for looking for a particular app or type of app. Obviously you won’t find Tumblr on there, but it’s got you covered for replacement apps for things like SMS messages, a photo gallery, a calculator, flashlight, notepad, file editor… You get the idea.

        Simplest path is probably to use the old simple mobile tools recorder app on fdroid, which won’t be getting any updates. Fossify will likely release their recorder app very shortly, which will essentially be the next update for the smt recorder app.
        It is already under active development, they just haven’t gotten the first release yet.

        Edit:
        Another interesting one is DroidRec. It is usually used and seen as a screen recorder, but it has three simple toggles for screen video, device audio, and microphone. If you turn off screen and device audio, it becomes a very nice voice recorder.

          I just tried that app and every time I try to record from mic only the app just closes when hitting the record button and it creates a 0 byte file. Does this actually work for anyone else?

            Which of the two?
            DroidRec works for me. I have quality on normal, codec on default, and record stereo. Selecting just mic or device audio and mic records to an m4a file.

            E: smt simple voice recorder v5.12.3 works fine on default settings too for me

              I meant droidrec. Same settings for me but keeps crashing when hitting record. Audio recorder from f droid (white background with black microphone logo) seems to be working for me though.

      Is a good advice but for the ‘Simple’ apps doesn’t make difference, all ‘Simple’ apps listed in the f-droid will not receive updates.

    Didn’t “simple” recently get acquired and is no longer to be trusted? Correct if wrong but isn’t Fossify the new preferred fork?

    Simple Mobile Tool

    A group of simple, open source Android apps without ads and unnecessary permissions, with customizable colors.

    From the Play Store, emphasis mine.

        Sure, but good luck getting google play moderators to do anything about it

    Is it part of the apps that have been recently sold to a commercial company? If so, you have to uninstall it and download the “Fossify” equivalent to keep the open source version.

      Looks like a pretty simple breach of privacy to me.

    Finally! Now I can finally have a voice recorder spy on me!

    That’s what I was missing back in the 90s, playing with a portable tape recorder without any strangers eavesdropping on everything I said. Isn’t tevhnology grand!

    Thank you for linking an alternative. I actually like it even more than the enshittified one.

    So they’re trading on the smt name to…do a bunch of things that are the antithesis of what was attractive about the brand to begin with?
