It’s been years, but I still miss these dead Android apps dearly
Not every great Android app stands the test of time.

I’ve used some great Android apps over the years. Many of these still exist and find a home on my home screen to this day. However, a slew of apps have come and gone. Feeling particularly nostalgic, I donned my rose-tinted glasses and took a longing look back at some of the dead Android apps that I still wish were actively developed, listed on the Play Store, or weren’t shuttered by their owners.

Well, before I “invest” my time, attention, effort, and dikw (i.e., data, information, knowledge, wisdom) in any application, I consider that if I am not paying for it, it COULD, and likely will, disappear at the most inconvenient moment in time. And, I could gripe but it would be my own fault.
As an old Info Sec DR practioner, I always worry about backup and recovery (i.e., one is none, two is one, and three is glee). As well as export and import of my data. For example, it does me no good to EXPORT my data if there is no way to or no place to IMPORT it too.
(Anyone ever think of that? Notably my Apple Contacts app and Google Contacts app. Both can export and import but something always prevents it. Argh! My solution is to keep contacts in a note in a NOTEPAD app. PIA to update stuff in THREE places. But, I just shake my head when people complain about losing their data. Or search their call logs and message log to find a long ago contact.)
FWIW YMMV faiwwypfi (Free Advice Is Worth What You Pay For It! ?zero?)
