As per title. Move to a new app peeps, I found this 1 seems fine.

Get your utility apps from fdroid. All open source and actually do what you want them to.
Is it more or less a replacement for Play Store?
Removed by mod
It’s a fully open sourced app store for android. The code of all apps in the F-Droid repository are reviewed before being made available. So this is why the F-Droid version wont have these settings, as it’ll be an older version.
Yes.
Any f droid recorder that is actively developed?
Any app that has been updated in the past 3-4 months is going to be fine. A recorder does not have to have an update pushed everyday with “fixed some bugs” meaningless changelog.
I personally use Record You. :)
Simplest path is probably to use the old simple mobile tools recorder app on fdroid, which won’t be getting any updates. Fossify will likely release their recorder app very shortly, which will essentially be the next update for the smt recorder app.
It is already under active development, they just haven’t gotten the first release yet.Edit:
Another interesting one is DroidRec. It is usually used and seen as a screen recorder, but it has three simple toggles for screen video, device audio, and microphone. If you turn off screen and device audio, it becomes a very nice voice recorder.Thanks for the tip.
I just tried that app and every time I try to record from mic only the app just closes when hitting the record button and it creates a 0 byte file. Does this actually work for anyone else?
Which of the two?
DroidRec works for me. I have quality on normal, codec on default, and record stereo. Selecting just mic or device audio and mic records to an m4a file.E: smt simple voice recorder v5.12.3 works fine on default settings too for me
I meant droidrec. Same settings for me but keeps crashing when hitting record. Audio recorder from f droid (white background with black microphone logo) seems to be working for me though.
Is a good advice but for the ‘Simple’ apps doesn’t make difference, all ‘Simple’ apps listed in the f-droid will not receive updates.
Didn’t “simple” recently get acquired and is no longer to be trusted? Correct if wrong but isn’t Fossify the new preferred fork?
Yes.
Correct
for fucks sake
The website is still under development
That’s fine. It at least links to their GitHub page for now.
Okay, you’ve convinced me, inline images are a bad idea.
Lmfao! Bone hurtingly true.
Geocities. Geocities still lives on.
All that post needs to be truly complete is some marquee or blink.
Man, this brought me back to ye olden days where forums were where it was at. Thanks for this. 🥲
If you search in fdroid, a few have been released
The site has working links to their Github repository, and the apps arrived in F-Droid.
This is still pinned on r/SimpleMobileTools:

False advertising at this point after the acquisition?
Sure, but good luck getting google play moderators to do anything about it
Assuming they have moderators of course.
Don’t use it, the dev sold out
You could just use the version on F-Droid until Fossify releases their fork of it. But ya, wild how basically out of no where Simple Mobile sold out tough.
Is it part of the apps that have been recently sold to a commercial company? If so, you have to uninstall it and download the “Fossify” equivalent to keep the open source version.
Nobody knows which ones got sold out commercially. Do not be so cryptic just to appeal to the “elitists”, which is equivalent to preaching to the choir and helps no new person.
Always write your comments in ways they might be relevant even 1-2 years later, or if they may be guest post mini guides, ~5 years down the line. This is where the value of Reddit still lies, and how Lemmy can eventually replace Reddit.
/rant
Simple Mobile Tools suite of apps are the ones that got sold out.
My dude, you gotta put the pipe down.
People who act elitist need to put the pot down. There is an odd kind of voting ratio with equal agreements, so maybe there is a good point.
Dude, it was word salad.
“simple”
Looks like a pretty simple breach of privacy to me.
I wanted to check out if that is true… and it is. Then I clicked on Simple Calendar > Trackers…
“Simple”, they said
Greed is simple.
Finally! Now I can finally have a voice recorder spy on me!
That’s what I was missing back in the 90s, playing with a portable tape recorder without any strangers eavesdropping on everything I said. Isn’t tevhnology grand!
Thank you for linking an alternative. I actually like it even more than the enshittified one.
The fukin audacity!
I wonder when the Fossify Voice Recorder will be dropped
