Strange because the only place I can find the words ‘play’ and ‘store’ appearing are in the comments section. I can only assume that your assumption that “This is about Play Store apps” is just your interpretation of what it’s about.
Aurora maybe, if you are desperate, but ‘Play Store’ apps should be removed from the list IMHO.
I think it’s a good idea to keep two lists.
Based on the lists, you can also see well which apps users use and maybe try something out for their own ideas.
As far as compatibility is concerned, it is of course important to see which Play Store apps Aka Aurora Store apps are running or not running at all. I think this in a separate list is good.
The only apps that cause compatibility issues are those from the Play Store. Apps from F-Droid will work as long as they support the Arch and Android versions.
It’s the same thing. Aurora Store is an unofficial client for Google Play; they’re still Play Store apps. There are exactly three Aurora apps: Aurora Store, Aurora Store Nightly and Aurora Droid.
I am more than aware of that but it still saddens me to see supposed FOSS supporters referring to them on a FOSS site that uses a FOSS forum, pretending to be FOSS enthusiasts labelling them as ‘play store’ app’s. As I said in my earlier post…… ‘aurora maybe, if you are desperate’.
I believe it fair to say that people that want all the benefits that a FOSS OS brings whilst cherry picking from the big G, hold the wider FOSS app dev’s community back, or am I the only person on here that looks forward to the day that google finally pull the plug?
Please fix Google Translator - possibly in connection with microG
Hi all, as I see some bank apps are already listed (thanks), can anybody tell me if the app ‘societe generale’ (French bank) works? Fingers crossed.
thank you
What to fix?
For me it works. I use it only in Offline-Mode. Downloading the languages what i need, then i remove the network access…
Are you implying that switching off network access for the whole phone and not being able to use voice input is how the app should be used by default?
Thanks for re-wording your post. I think they mean they (@volker01) are disabling network access for that app only (assuming from AppInfo)
Who you mean by they?
Yes sure, disabling network access for that app only
That still deactivates voice input - usually such an APP is used in the process of talking with another person
But you are aware that this is not happening offline? You send your voice and the content of the conversation to the Google servers. …
the app to ban access to the Internet is just a suggestion from me to get privacy.
Edit:
Voice Input i do it with Futo Voice Input.
I do Translations with Deepl (way more better translations). Since last month it was also more or less privacy-friendly as the data was processed on their own servers in accordance with the GDPR. But now they use AWS for scaling (officially in accordance with GDPR).
