An equivalent to iOS Shortcuts for Android and Linux.

There is an IOS app for hot air balloon pilots called "Hot Air". There is a similar app for Android that... Leaves much to be desired.

There's several functions that are needed. First, we need a map. We need to be able to enter waypoints and/or polygons charting landing zones, prohibited zones, targets, etc. we need an easy way to select targets, and our bearing and distance to those targets.

For planning purposes, we need a bearing line that we can place and move on that map. We need to be able to easily drag and drop each end of the line, and get the bearing and distance between the endpoints.

Next, we need track recording. It should record a ground track during flight, preferably with altitude information, and notes about the flight.

Next, a wind map. The wind speed and direction varies considerably by altitude. It needs to record direction and speed as we climb and descend, telling us what altitude has winds favorable for our current target.

Bonus points if we can prepopulate that wind map with data from a "pibal" (pilot balloon; a simple latex party balloon released and tracked with compass and stopwatch before a flight)

Next, coordination with other pilots and ground crews. 3D location sharing between participants; wind map data shared between pilots.

No RSS reader is quite like it.

Synfonium

Best music player out there.

Komoot and strava... General route planning and teavkinv software..

It’s not an Android app but ServerCat is the best multi device monitoring/ssh software for mobile that I’ve come across. Sadly none of the alternatives on iOS or Android compare. Totally room for a proper competitor that fits a lot of information in an intuitive and clean ui.

SMS Backup & Restore? Unless there is an alternative that I'm missing? Play store link

Sailforms Android app!

Use like 12 years for keeping track of lots of personal stuff. It's a generic database / table / forms app that's very powerfull. Buttons, queries, reports, calculated fields etc.

But: the app developer stopped despite a rather enthusiastic community. Now it isn't even on the Play Store anymore and I guess everybody must have an exit strategy.

Uber? What do you use for rides?

Why is there not an app that tells you which grocery stores have the best prices? I should be able to give it a list and it'll tell me where to buy each item.

I don't have any suggestions. I can't think of any proprietary app good enough that I'd give up control of my computing for. However, consider objective requirements rather than subjective terms like good. What do you use the proprietary app for, why are existing free alternatives not sufficient, and can a free app be made that satisfies those requirements?

This is not an answer to your question, but I would love if somebody would make InputStick software for platforms other than android if possible
