Antes he compartido un link a la web de #SimpleMobileTools con apps sencillas para Android sin publicidad y sin permisos innecesarios (Calendario, Contactos, Archivos, Galería y Mensajes)
Lo he borrado y comparto el link a #Fossify, que es un fork de esas apps y que es mejor porque 1) Simple Mobile Tools tenía vinculación con Israel y 2) Las apps ya no tienen actualizaciones, y las de Fossify sí.
Gracias a @kurio y a @atmuntenas por las advertencias.
Today #freesoftware let me down.
I just ran into a bug on my phone while trying to call emergency services.
I'm running the #microg build of #LineageOS on my #fairphone3 and am using the #simplemobiletools Dialer app. After calling 110 (German emergency services), the phone app kept crashing in a loop.
Software has bugs and I'm not blaming the developers, but if bugs happen in such critical situations, it is not acceptable :(
Who do I need to give money to to prevent such things in future?

#SimpleMobileTools was long taken over by some other company. Please don't install any of their Apps, even from #F-droid. They no longer maintain those apps. Alternatively, you can install it's fork, available on #F-droid, called #fossify Apps.
ma che aspettavate a dirmi che le #SimpleMobileTools sono state forkate?
Remember the "Simple Mobile Tools" suite of Android apps? It used to be a great collection of basic apps that didn't slurp up your data, clog up your apps with advertising, or charge exorbitant prices. It isn't anymore.
At the end of 2023, the suite was sold to ZipoApps, who proceeded to do all of those things. (This appears to be their business model: buy an app with a large install base and squeeze every last bit of monetization out of it while destroying its usefulness, fun, and credibility.)
Seriously: They replaced the $2.99 one-time payment for the Pro version of Calendar with a $15/week subscription.
Fortunately the apps were all GPL, and there's a complete fork called Fossify. They're still slowly rolling apps out to F-Droid and Google Play, with about 10 out so far.
I use the calendar and contacts apps all the time, and the voice recorder is good for taking quick notes. I've also used the files, gallery and music player apps occasionally, but not enough to have a solid impression of them, and I haven't yet tried the phone or SMS apps.

Android's "Simple Mobile Tools* may be effectively discontinued (after being bought out my a marking company), but Fossify is alive and well.
#Fossify #SimpleMobileTools #Android
My transition to #Fossify complete. #SimpleMobileTools Clock wanted to update to a version with ads for a while, good riddens.

Fossify is a continuation of the "simple Mobile Tools" suite which recently was sold to ZipApps who then promptly ruined them all.
One of the devs who originally worked on Simple Mobile Tools has forked the code, and released it under the name Fossify.
The tools are available on F-Droid, Google Play or directly from their GitHub repo
Probando la App de llamadas MARCADOR de Simple Mobile Tools -> https://burp.es/app-de-llamadas-marcador-de-simple-mobile-tools/
Anyone that uses #WiFiCalling (does it matter if I specify on #ATT or a comparable network?) on #Android : If you get #spam calls from random numbers, does the #Fossify / #SimpleMobileTools dialer app work ok with the feature to only allow calls from your contacts through (as the SimpleMobileTools dialer app's description on #FDroid mentions) if using Wi-Fi Calling? I mentioned both SMT and Fossify as not everyone might be aware of both, and the feature is only mentioned on SMT dialer's page.
(also was zwischen #Fossify (ehemals #SimpleMobileTools ) und #GhostCommander )
Ich selbst nutze bevorzugt Ghost Commander, aber der ist sicher für viele Anwendungszwecke überdimensioniert.
Den Simple Manager von Simple Mobile Tools kenne ich auch, aber der ist wiederum zu "simple", so dass der Fossify Manager auch nicht passen würde.
Nun hat mich jemand nach einer Empfehlung gefragt. Es gibt ja so einige weitere Dateimanager für Android , mit welchen weiteren habt Ihr Erfahrung und könnt sie empfehlen?
Good grief! I noticed that the Fossify Calendar and File Manager had made it to Google Play, and also noticed that the reviews for the old Simple Calendar were tanking...
The top one was this:
It originally said there would be a one-time payment of 2.99 after the free trial. I thought I'd gladly pay that so I continued to use it. When the trial was up I was given the option to buy not for the single payment of 2.99 but for $15/week! The app itself is exactly what I want over other calendars I've tried. And I would pay for adless, but over $2/day is insane. Banner ads would be tolerable but it has video ads when opening the app and adding an event. Wish I'd read the reviews.
(Emphasis added.) Before the sale, Simple Mobile Calendar did in fact have a single one-time payment option of around $2.99.
The company replied:
Sorry to hear that the price for the Premium subscription seems high to you. Please, note that the App on the Premium version opens up many exciting features and opportunities for you and it is definitely worth the price. The Premium version has no ads. Thank you!
"Seems" high"? $15/week for a simple calendar is exorbitant.
Video adds on a basic tool are insane.
I am so glad I uninstalled all of the ones I was using, and started replacing them with the Fossify fork!
Meanwhile, the Fossify apps are continuing to roll out on F-Droid, with the Contacts, Phone (dialer) and SMS Messenger now available as well.
#Fossify hat zwei weitere beliebte Apps der #SimpleMobileTools geforkt und in #Fdroid zur Verfügung gestellt. #FossifyPhone und #FossifyContacts sind hinzu gekommen. Nun mehr sind fünf Apps von Fossify.org veröffentlicht. Danke!
@mobilsicher die Liste ist gut, aber leider nicht mehr ganz auf dem aktuellen Stand.
Das betrifft v.a. die #SimpleMobileTools , zu dem Ihr ja selbst schreibt (s. Tastatur-Artikel): "Simple Mobile Tools können wir nicht mehr empfehlen (Januar 2024). Die ehemals freie App wurde an einen Werbevermarkter verkauft. Unter dem Namen Fossify soll ein freier Nachfolger entstehen, der aber noch in Entwicklung ist."
Die ersten Apps von #Fossify sind inzwischen schon auf #FDroid : https://search.f-droid.org/?q=Fossify&lang=de
Sollte natürlich
