[APP][4.0+] Locate driver - free, open source, without ads - Feedback appreciated - Android Apps and Games

Hi XDA community! I just updated an application that lets your friends know when you arrive at your destination so they don't have to call you while you drive.
I made this app for personal use, because I use this feature a lot. It's more convenient to have an app that replies with your current location, remaining distance and approximative time of arrival than to talk on the phone or write a text message while you drive.
The application is completely free, open source and without ads.
You can find screens, video demo, source code and apk on Github at: https://github.com/micku7zu/Locate-driver
Or you can install it from the Play store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.micutu.locatedriver
The app is simple to use, just set a keyword, a destination and hit start. You can close the app after that, even restart the phone, the app will not drain battery because it is not opened in the background. It opens only when an SMS is received, checks for keyword, and if the keyword match, tries to get the location, responds to the SMS then it is closed again until next message.
I hope my app will improve your everyday life!
Feedback appreciated!

Because the menus are predetermined/fixed, there is no worry about spam or harassment, just raw updates.
This app is in no way a privacy concern as it only sends numerical values to the VVS server that can only be downloaded by others as raw data. That in no way identifies you or the device using the Status app (Except for your country code. But you are another person out of millions in the same country). Other users will only see the update type, country, and time.
As more people use the app, your world will feel more open as you will see constant action around you.
When the application is shut down it instantly de-activates updates for itself and kills your unique key.
Visit VVS Sites (http://www.valevarkasystems.com/sites/android/) for more information and download date.
Features:
- Back button kills/shuts down the application, home button keeps the app alive
- Multitasking; stays open when you hit your home button, or open other apps
- Icon displays in the notification bar when the program starts running and hides on program close
- No advertising
- Simple design; one page layout
- Only sends pre-programmed, numerical data to the server. No unique information identifies you.
Live Stream
There have been more additions to the stream. Once again, the more people that use it, the better. This application relies on user-generated content.
Steady Increase
The number of status updates are continuously increasing.

[APP][2.3+] SpyVisio - security, surveillance and much more

Hello everyone, after a long time testing I would like to introduce my SpyVisio app in the hope that you find it useful.
SpyVisio is a sort of swiss army knife of the remote surveillance and device safety. This lightweight and compact app encloses a set of functions that can transform your phone into a powerful instrument of control (webcam, ipcam, motion and sound detector, DVR, home alarm, video surveillance, anti-theft, GPS tracks locator, sms interceptor).
Here are some examples of SpyVisio applications:
Baby monitor
When the baby wakes up and begins to move or cry, SpyVisio can:
- Play a song, ring tone, a lullaby or any pre-recorded vocal message with your own voice
- Call another phone
- Send a text message
- Send an email
In addition, at any time you can call SpyVisio and listen to what is happening or access it through internet and see the images taken by its camera. All events are stored in the device memory and may be consulted at any time (even remotely).
Home security system
Place one or more SpyVisio devices in the environment being controlled. In case of suspicious noises or movements you will be notified on your control phone and you could take countermeasures. SpyVisio can also sound an alarm and operate as a DVR. The images taken by its camera can be viewed in real time remotely through a standard internet browser.
Car protection
Someone likes to scratch or harm your car? Just put SpyVisio suitably hidden in the passenger compartment and it will record all suspicious movements taking place around.
Phone theft
If someone steals your device, then you can use some special SpyVisio functions to track down the thief:
- In case of SIM replacement an SMS will be sent to your control phone with information about the new SIM card and the new phone number
- By issuing SMS commands to SpyVisio you can get information on demand about the ingoing/outgoing calls & messages or the GPS locations of the last 24 hours and try to get emails with pictures of those who are using the phone.
Anti-curious phone
With phone in Stealth mode, its screen turns off but all alarm functions are still active; if someone approaches your phone it can sound an alarm, take photographs of him and prevent access to other applications, ensuring maximum privacy. SpyVisio prevents anyone from using your phone without your knowledge and so you can leave it around without too many worries.
Secret investigator
Do you want to know where someone dear to you has spent the day? SpyVisio can store the tracks of the movements made in the last 24 hours and you can read them individually, or view the entire path with Google Maps or Google Earth. Every message sent or received from SpyVisio phone can also be repeated automatically to another phone (control phone). Do you want to know if in your absence something strange happens in your house? Just put SpyVisio in the room you want to check and it will record everything that is moving or making noise.
All feedback is welcome, so please let me know what you think of the app! Since the app is released for free on Play store you can, if you want, try it and post about it wherever you like!
Might want to put a link to the Play Store, just a recommendation.

Yes, that is a good recommendation.
Unfortunately xdadevelopers prevents those who have less than 10 posts on the forum to include links
However just search SpyVisio on Google, the download link will come out as the first result.

Dur, didn't even think about the x<10 post limit, my bad Yeah, I found it through the Play Store, thanks for the tip!
With the new release SpyVisio 1.2 you can now generate a GPS NMEA-0183 log and import it in Google Earth. In practice you can do all the GPS Cookie (Kickstarter project) does but without having to buy the cookie
New release SpyVisio 1.3
Some minor bugs have been removed and a new data storage management provides compatibility with KitKat.

This sounds like a nice app. I wish I could use this with my tablet, but google play says only my phone can use it. It's a Dell Venue 8 with GPS, but wifi only model. Any chance you can make it available to tablets with gps? The baby monitoring sounds great. Thanks for the request!
Can this work on galaxy tab 3 7.0 running 4.1.2? Google play won't let me download.
Thanks,

[APP][4.0+] Here I Am: Location reporting innovated!

Hello, I am an independent developer and I have made an application called "Here I Am". I claim that this app is better than most location reporting apps in the market and I am requesting you to kindly try this application out and tell me what you think.
Be it your mom, dad or your significant other, there is always someone who cares about you when you leave home. They want to know again and again where you are but you cannot stop your car and type texts like that. Here I Am serves you by periodically sending information of your current location in the form of SMS to that person.
But here's what makes it UNIQUE:
This app sends the texts in human readable language. The receiver will not be staring at the screen trying to figure out what do those coordinates mean. Because there will be no coordinates, nor will there be a link forcing them to open a web browser every time. The app will simply send texts in the following format:
"I'm at STREET NAME near LANDMARK", or
"I'm at STREET NAME, AREA NAME, heading towards LANDMARK. Just crossed A LANDMARK BEHIND ME".
FEATURES:
- Easy to use (provide a contact and forget everything).
- Detailed and advanced settings for users who want full control.
- The receiver only needs to read the sms, without the struggle to interpret it.
- This is a truly BEAUTIFULLY designed application.
- Look ma! No hands: You activate the app and forget it. The app will do all the work at the appropriate times.
TLDR;
This app can periodically send texts to your selected contact about details of your current location. This usually includes the street name and if you are moving towards or away from some place, it can include that place's name as well.
The application uses it's handcrafted algorithms to detect if it needs to tell about your movements or not.

[APP] [4.0+] Hourglass App

Hey everybody!
To God be the glory, I've been making some custom roms on XDA for a while, but I have decided to try to learn some new things by taking an app developer course. I've made a few apps, and I thought I would share them here as well. This app is open source, you are welcome to go to the Github and post issues, review and or copy the code (it is Apache-2.0 licensed), or download the app and enjoy!
These are my first apps, and I know they need a little improvement. So please feel free to leave a comment! But please remember, the best criticism is constructive.
If you do check out my Github, note that just about every line of my code includes a comment as to what it does or why it exists, so if you are like me and new to Android programming, be sure to check it out to see how it works! Also, in my Github are many "small apps" in the "apps_small" repo, which are apps I either made for the class, or made on the side to test out some feature or function. Hopefully that would be useful to someone.
Without further ado:
Hourglass - a timer application.
A simple application that can be used to start a
timer from one second to one hour. The app can then
be closed or left open, while a status bar notification
reminds you that you have a timer in progress.
Upon reaching 00:00, an audible sound as well as a
short vibration and visual pop-up will indicate that your
timer has ended. You can enable and disable the vibrations,
and change the sound between bells, chirps, or foghorns.
Great for reminding yourself to do something, or for
use while playing games that require timers! And,
best of all: THIS APP CONTAINS NO ADDS!

Another Now Playing Tracker app (Promo codes)

Hello folks,
Now Playing feature on the Pixel 2 is awesome. It works very well, but it keeps no track of the songs identified. Hence I present you Now Playing Tracker. An app to keep track of all songs identified.
Features:
1. Once you grant notification access, forget about the app, all the songs identified will be ready for you when you come to the app.
2. Mark the songs you really like as favorites.
3. Save location to each identified song. (Map view comes in the next update)
4. Export a list of all songs as CSV. Open it up in Excel or Sheets and you can see the location and the date each song was identified.
5. Clear all data or clear just the non favorites.
6. Clean material design implementation.
7. Minimal battery usage since location is requested from the OS. Android gives requesting apps it last known location hence the app does not use any GPS or WIFI for location.
For all the devs out there, I am a junior Android dev and have written this app completely in Kotlin. It was a great learning experience and I am in love with the language.
For future updates:
1. Map View
2. Night Mode I'll keep updating the app very frequently with new features and to fix bugs if any.
Here are a few promo codes:
