DeadNinja@lemmy.worldto Android@lemmy.world•What's your favourite paid Android app?English11·8 months agoThe only paid app that I have is Moon+ Reader Pro.
I read a boatload of ebooks on my device, and this has been my ebook-reader of choice for a while. I found it to be so good that I did the IAP, and stopped using Librera Reader.
For all that matters, I am a huge supporter of FOSS apps (that’s the reason I have only one paid app lol) - but Moon+ reader Pro beats Librera in two areas - Librera is pretty slow when it tries to open a huge file, and Librera also can’t download book covers like Moon+ does.
Not going back to Jerboa unless the basic feature of searching contents other than just communities is implemented. I find this fundamental feature sorely lacking in Jerboa while every other app around there have this.

Kind of surprising, because this is pretty basic feature, and has been open for over two years.

As someone else said in this thread, I have also temporarily switched to FreeTube for Android, because a few of the Invidious instances are still working fine.
The nice thing about the FOSS world is that it’s pretty easy to import subscriptions and other stuff from NewPipe to FreeTube.
I hope this YouTube fuckery is handled soon. I love NewPipe way more every time it successfully deals with the YT weirdos.
I hate you. How do I unsee that now?

Why just blame it on file sharing…

Good luck claiming any of the content on the streaming platforms as “your”

Fuck their Amazon delivery day and No rush shipping. “Delivery in fewer trips to your home” ? I have exactly zero fucks to give - I need my stuff as early as possible as my prime membership will let me, even if at 4 AM in the morning, because I am freaking paying for it.
And “green for the environment” my ass - I know they don’t care about environment, and I don’t care about the gas tank of their delivery vans.
When will the search function in Jerboa “search everything, not just communities” ? I am waiting for that day…

Which is why I posted this here.

You probably have the box checked in “Settings” --> “Look and Feel” --> “Use Custom tabs”.
Try unchecking that box.
Thanks for checking that for me.
I know what FOSS means - I wasn’t sure if MiXPlorer is FOSS or not.
I use MiXPlorer.
It’s free (not sure if FOSS), and there are non-essential-but-nice-to-have features that are paid, just to support the dev - but the free features are awesome, and more than enough for me.

Optiom 2 - I find this to be a reasonably well source for archived pages.
