@djonnystevensabenz Thanks for your app. Works .
But:
Since we use it for sensitive data while typing, the app should work offline.
Though having disabled sharing of data, the app establishs data connections.
I don't know whether to trust.
Understood the concern, and I'm happy that people are caring for their privacy.
The internet connection is used only for feature usage analysis and crash reporting, nothing else. Trust can't be based on cheap words like this, so I'm open for any third party audit organization to perform audit, at any time, on any version. I'm releasing this app under my real name, if you didn't realize it. I'll be staying in this industry for long as I enjoy making things, so sending out private data isn't helping me at all to stay in the industry.
I suggest you to use firewall app, or AdAway, to prevent those data collection from being sent out. Try to force close the app once you've disable it. It should not have sent the data afterwards. Otherwise, Firebase team is in trouble.
And furthermore, no private data should be put into Typing Hero. The database isn't encrypted, so a targeted malicious app could steal the database if installed and executed, even if Typing Hero doesn't have internet access.

Manual ordering or what?
And by grouping, do you mean, a single keyword for multiple text?
Moving similar snippets together. Eg moving the fifth snippet to replace the second one.
Grouping similar snippets Eg email addy, phone numbers

For moving Snippets around, I'd consider it, as a nice to have. The app itself is something that we're supposed to use rarely, only to add/edit Snippets. I'll work on it at later times, once all features that I consider essential are in.
As for grouping, there's a plan to support multiple text for a single Keyword. You can think of it as context, group, tag, or label.
Does this work with customizable keyboard apps?

I'm not sure I understand what you mean with customizable keyboard apps. Just try it out, I guess? Typing Hero doesn't really care what keyboard app you use. So, I'd say, it will most likely work.
Backup feature would be great. Miss that since moving from texpand to typing hero.
Working on backup and restore at the moment. I'll let you know after I publish it.
Hi dev, thanks for the app ! one suggestion can you make a shortcut follow the capital letter ? I mean for the exemple : "mtn = maintenant" but if it's the first word of the sentence it has to be with a capital letter.

Seems like a good idea! Let me plan this, but I can't promise it'll be worked on soon.
Is it possible to have the 'current date' and 'current time' shortcuts? I've been waiting and hoping that someone will bring back the Palm's graffiti 'current date' and 'current time' shortcuts to Android someday.

You're not the first to ask for this. It is possible, and I will work on it. I just need time to get through the list before working on this.
Anything else from Palm that you'd like to have? I'll think about it and plan them.

Hello everyone! I am the developer of Prepay Widget, a powerful app that allows you to monitor your account balance through USSD requests.
You can find more info about USSD on Wikipedia, but basically these are short, SMS-like messages used by most GSM and some CDMA providers to deliver information
or control account services. The actual information comes to you in the form of popup toasts, which thids app hides and parses into widgets.
You can find the apps landing page on XDA at the following thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=12348102
However, i want to stress that its important that we get some device-specific feedback, so please post in this thread if you have issues,
this helps me keep track of bugs and requests better.
You can use the Lite version of the app - it has all the functionality of the full version apart from automatic updates (not really that important imo).
As I haven't got one of these phones in my pocket, I need some testers to track down problems. Please, use this thread to comment or
suggest features. It is my belief that addressing issues is best done individually by phone, so if something doesn't work, let me know and I will fix it ASAP.

We didn't steal anything.
There have been similar apps for years, including on other platforms. What makes Balanced different is that its better - we have better widgets, better functionality and better support.
Perhaps you should write the people who made pandas vs ninjas and tell them how appauled you are at competitive markets... oh wait, you are the competition!
@ftgg99 this app looks great, i'll give it a try and give you my feedback. Thanks
This looks interesting, does anyone know any ussd codes for Cricket?
Sorry for my English. translate.google.com ... Motorola XT502, Android 2.3.3, does not work. Continuously requires reboot.
Hey how do i add an indicator for a USSD code? I have ATT. when i added the USSD i received texts back and that was it. In the app it says that the codes dont have any indicators. am i missing something?

Tired of taking notes manually? This app makes life easier for you!
Set some keywords, and AutoNotes will automatically take text notes of interested information from your clipboard, typed sentences and things that appear on your screen!
E.g. Set "appointment" as a keyword, when "appointment" appears in a Gmail, the Email content will be saved into a note.
Due to Android's limitation, AutoNotes cannot process everything that ever appears on your screen. So please copy very important information into clipboard in order to make sure that AutoNotes has saved it for you.
This is my second Android app, your suggestions and feedbacks are very appreciated
Changelog
========
2.0
- Regular expression support
- Option to be notified when a note is created
- Minor performance improvements
3.0
- Ability to export notes to SD card
- Ability to search past notes by regex or keyword
- Settings are now saved upon app restart
- Minor user interface improvements
This is a fantastic idea. I had no clue this was possible without root. Nice work.
Oh, and look what we have here...
pretty nice app, thanks a lot
Gonna give this a try
This is a free app... why don't allow it to "sell" in China? Its bad enough that all us China Android fans can only get apps on dodgy alernative markets even if we have valid credit cards and/or paypal. But this is a free app. Please make it available world wide. Limiting market availability does not prevent piracy... it encourages it.

The app is on its first release. I can only speak English and Chinese and I know the way AutoNotes identifies and counting words does not apply to Chinese language. Better support for the languages other than English is a WIP feature.

No problem. I have enabled the app in all countries.
Here I also attached the APK file if you would like to install it straight away.
I already rated AutoNotes on the market, but I figured to make my suggestions (sent to Guo in PM) public here for review:
Question: are keywords searched for regarding case or case insensitively?
I'd like to have two options next to each keyword: "case insensitive" and "pattern", maybe off by default. The "pattern" knob should interpret a keyword as a regular expression or perhaps as a glob pattern like in Unix filenames.
Samsung Galaxy Ace GT-S5830
Just one other thing: keywords should also have a "negate" or "not" flag: if keywords with such a flag are encountered, AutoNotes should ignore the text. In case one needs to email passwords or other credentials. While such an email would be sent encrypted (of course!), AutoNotes sees the cleartext, so this is kinda important ...
Samsung Galaxy Ace GT-S5830
Got another one: every note has the valuable button "copy to clipboard". When I use it, the note goes to the clipboard, but then I need to use the back button several times to exit Autonotes.
How about a configuration option "exit after clipboard copy" that will immediately exit Autonotes and thereby return to the app where I want to paste the note?

Thanks houzuoguo! I already got it from market. The regular expressions are a good idea. I hope you stay with this project.
I love this app. It solves my biggest frustration with Android. This app is absolutely effective.
I want to export all the notes although TB does restore everything. I can't find the data file...although I haven't really put an all out effort to find it... are the notes encrypted or in a basic text file?
EDIT -- found it. data/data/net.houzuo.android.autonotes/autonotes.db

Hello
I wrote a shopping list application, in which i focused on a speed in
which you can create a shopping list and share(and update after that)
it with your friend. So i avoided any forms often frequented in this
type of applications, and came up with a very simple design. You would
just enter your items into the text field with some autocomplete,
adjust the amounts, then click sharing button, select your friend and
that's it.
I also use Google App Engine for server side to keep this free.
I wrote this a while ago, now i would like to improve it to add some
more features, so any feedback and ideas for improvement would be much
appreciated

I got this idea to many time ago, but was something like ( you should add it) a "social tasks" list, for example, there are some few tasks to do at home, you put this in the social to-do lists and everyone in the family could see the lists, and when the tasks are completed, they should be notified or the task deleted from the social list!!
Just watch the démo vidéo ans it looks really nice !

Really nice app, follows some feedback:
Try to implement the native ActionBar or use SherlockActionBar. Using just the native ActionBar will make your app incompatible with versions below 3.0. Using Sherlock your app will be compatible with 2.1 and above. This will make the app more integrated to the system.
Other changes you can make on this aspect is read the Design Guidelines (sorry I can't post links), learn some thing about good designs and look for other apps searching for inspiration.
Good! My housemates install this app too!

Hi @GammaL, great app!
Can you please add compatibility with Hebrew language? I mean, not a translation - an RTL support on the shopping list.
Please refer to the screenshot I added, to understand the problem.
You can see that the First item in the list is in English and is perfectly readable. The second item, is in Hebrew and automatically aligned to the right, so it's getting in line with the other buttons.
I use OurGroceries app. It is a pretty similar app and easy to use it would be worthwhile a look for feature set. That app also works on iOS and BB platform making it appealing to much wider audience. http://www.ourgroceries.com/

Agreed Holo please. http://developer.android.com/design/get-started/ui-overview.html
Also, maybe you might want to integrate Google Tasks or some more popular to do list manager, like Any.do or Toodeldo. That would make this app truly extraordinary.
Downloaded it but have not tried it yet, but I like the idea
Was wondering, how the data is transmitted from one phone to another ... is it over some server that you have setup?
What if other users end up with similar names? Would every Maryxx receive the list?
Would it be better if those big "- & +" are replaced with a simpler "< & >" or maybe even a manual entry box? Reason for a manual entry box is maybe the item required is 2.5kg or maybe 1.5 cartons or 1.5 litre of milk.
Thanks for your app

Hi guys,
Just released my app called The Typist: Quick Typing Tests! It's fairly straightforward, it measures how fast you can type on a phone or tablet and can chart your typing speed results over time. Also supports Google Play leaderboards. I couldn't find a good typing test app so I ended up just making my own.

Test your typing speed with different speed tests based on popular books
1, 2, and 3 minute tests for the ultimate in typing test flexibility
Detailed results page: see your words per minute score, total number of errors, and most frequently mistyped letters
Track your progress with a chart of your past typing test results
Compete against your friends with a local high score list and Google Play Game Services leaderboards support
Compatible with different keyboard layouts - try them out with The Typist and see which ones actually help you type faster
Works well on both phones and tablets
Free updates and support for life
Straightforward permissions: The Typist requires internet, network state, and Google Play billing to serve ads and the ability to purchase the ad-free version. We don't need access to your contacts, location, or your Facebook account! (but if you want to upload your score, you will need to use your Google Plus account)
Want to support The Typist's development? Please rate it and/or unlock the full version of The Typist (removes ads) within the app. Thank you!
Available on Google Play: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.thetypist.typingtests
Compatible with 4.0+/ICS and above. Free/ad-supported and in-app billing for the paid version (removes ads).
Please check it out and let me know what you think. Thanks!
Nice little app, needs some ironing out to do
Hey bloggert,
Frist of all, it's a sweet app and since there seems to be a famine of good typing test app on touch screen devices, it's a really good one.
I came upon this thread because I was going to embark on the same road to develop myself a typing speed tester.
The UI of your app is "A" grade and I just loved it.
That said, there are also a few shortcomings of your app. You seem to have designed a typing speed analyser for a full machine at it's core, just like the others. Your app tries to keep track of each character the user types, and that actually defeats the purpose of the app on a touch screen device. Also your app seems to disable the predictive auto-completion of many of the keyboards which actually is the biggest selling point of such ones like "swype", afterall typing in a touch screen device is completely different from the keyboard, so why apply the same methodologies?
What I think the app must do?
1. Let the user type-in a whole text and provied a button that says "submit" and the app should just time it all. This is essentially to let the user correct all the words which went wrong with the auto-correct and auto-complete and all other shinanigins. Maybe your app can also keep track of the time taken by the user to enter the last word and hit the submit button, may be help user to clock the time it takes to fix the stupideties( I am not sure though if this is such a great idea) and provide feedback of somekind on the same.
2. Once the user has submitted the text, now your app does what it already does, check for the characters, are all good, what was the accuracy (most probably it would be hundred, if the user is not dumb), and now you can give the speed.
How will this help?
I think this will help user do justice on the various keyboards out there who rely on various methodologies to input text and probably help the creators of various kinds of input methods to judge the usefulness of there methods when speed is the question.
Am I stupid?
Maybe....:silly:
Hope to hear your comments on it all.
flide
Not stupid at all. This is good stuff and I appreciate the feedback.
You are correct in that The Typist tracks every character. However, the app actually only cares about certain characters (namely spaces, since these determine where words start and end, and I need these to know where to highlight the current word and the last incorrect word). So it's okay if a keyboard uses auto-completion (or any other feature that inserts words), as long as it or the user inserts a space to indicate that the word has ended.
With that said, I'm not actually sure why auto-completion doesn't work. It's definitely not disabled on purpose, and I never noticed this before. I've tried a number of keyboards and typing in partial words and then selecting it from a list above the keyboard works fine, as well as swyping methods, but auto-correct never seems to kick in. I'm going to look into this later today but it should be fixable.
As for the going back and correcting words - I'm a little hesitant about this, and the app does prevent the user from going back or selecting old text (beyond using backspace) on purpose, mostly because in testing the potential to mess up the word tracking and cause errors was too great. In the end I figured that possibility of things screwing up was more important than the need to go back and change a word, and so the cursor selection block was put into place. I don't know if this is the right decision, as I still don't have enough feedback really to really judge. This is why I didn't originally go with the option 1 suggestion.
For option 2, The Typist actually does do this already - the real error checking is done after the test has completed (checking all of the words constantly during the test is pretty time-consuming, and so the app only shows you the last mistyped word) as well as the speed counts.

More thoughts
well thinking about it again, I will say that the idea of allowing the user to correct all the text after it's done is... well not so brilliant, and I will let it go at that.
And about the predictive text feature, for my keyboard the top bar which is suppose to show the possible pridicted words is not visible, so I am not able to use them... don't know if that is a problem with your app or it is a problem with my keyboard (8pen) because it does not show up also when i am trying to use VIM. May be you can check on that if something in particular triggers that kind of behaviour.
Also, you should look up for klavaro. It has 3 criterions for typing : Accuracy, velocity and fluideness, and to tell you the truth I like the concept very much, specially fluidity. Here's the link : "klavaro[dot]sourceforge[dot]net[slash]en[slash]manual-en[dot]pdf"
Will be appriciated if you can think of something to accomodate the fluidity angle, might be difficult but let's try. If something comes to my mind compatible with the touch input, I will share.
Let me know your thoughts.

Can you include a few texts in plain english, I mean all small case, minimal punctuation, no symbols or numbers... something message like. just to test how good you can hold for every day tasks.
Just a thought.

Ergonomics
One more quick idea.
It's a pain to keep looking at three different places while typing using most keyboards (not 8pen though ), namely :
1. What is supposed to be typed
2. The Keyboard
3. What am I typing
I think the 3rd point can be eliminated if app is somewhat modified. Rather than a text box to enter the displayed text, the user can actually override the displayed text... let me try and explain a bit more clearly.
The text, that needs to be typed, is initially displayed in BLACK. Now, rather than highlighting the next word to be typed, the already typed characters should be in BLUE, and all the wrong ones in RED. This mechanism essentially solves the 3rd problem, the user has just 2 places on the screen to strain his/her/it's neck, there is an inherent highlighting as to what needs to be typed (the first BLACK character), what has been typed correctly previously, in BLUE, and what was typed wrong, in RED.
THINK ERGONOMICS!! :cyclops:
Thanks for the updates
Since you never replied again, I thought you forgot all about your app... But you were hard at work and YES, now my predictive options are visible again. :victory:
+1 for the update and you should not bother to appologise for adding a ad in the app. It's your hard work and you have the right to earn over it.

Hi, I was wondering how about like Antutu you could add a leader board to this which mentioned a username(like it already does) and his device and the scores.
I think it'll make the app much more popular and probably turn it into a benchmarking app for one handed usability of Android cell phones. While individuals will battle it out for the top spot, the addition of their device in the table will show which device feels best for typing.
TLDR; Add a 4 column leaderboard
Position -> Name -> Device -> Score
its multilanguage?
I thought the auto complete was disabled on purpose because then it would not be accurate on how we are typing, because technically we would be letting the device type for us. I rather like the fact we have to actually type every letter ourselves, because then I think its more challenging and more honest. So I would actually be bummed if you did allow auto correct or auto complete to work in this app.
I found nothing wrong with it aside from the fact you have to manually allow your score to be added to the leader board. The first time I did it, I got my best score since trying it a few more times but cannot add it to the leader board because I did not press the "add to leader board" on the top left, I had not even noticed it, until the 2nd go around.
Possible addition

I think the leaderboard should also have the "input method" column stating the keyboard used for the test.
BUG Found!!
Hi bloggert,
I think the a bug/error has been introduced with the update 1.2. I have attached a screen shot for reference.
As you explained in one of your post that "spaces" are monitored to highlight the current word.
You are correct in that The Typist tracks every character. However, the app actually only cares about certain characters (namely spaces, since these determine where words start and end, and I need these to know where to highlight the current word and the last incorrect word). So it's okay if a keyboard uses auto-completion (or any other feature that inserts words), as long as it or the user inserts a space to indicate that the word has ended.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
In the input method I am using, there are 3 predictive options available to type when I am not in the middle of typing a word namely : , . ?
After I type a word a space is automatically inserted as soon as my finger up, but if i select any one of these then that automatic space is removed the character is inserted and space is set again in the wait of the next word.
What your app seems to be doing is, whenever i utilize any of the three the current word shifts one step ahead and there is a mismatch between the "actual" correct word and the one being highlighted in BLUE.
Please look into the issue. It's very distracting.

Hey!
This is a cool app; I've been missing a typing test for some time. Some additional feature requests:
Dark theme (for amoled users)
Practice mode: an additional untimed mode where we can import our own texts
The latter, in particular, could be very nice in training for the usual tests!
Thanks again for the app!
Hi,
I'm using a Samsung tablet with a floating thumb keyboard.
The Text does not recognise that and still says in the middle of the screen, behind the keyboard. (See added Screenshot)
Also would it be possible to highlight the wrong words red in the existing text and not in the written text?
IMHO that would be better....
Your app got hacked
A good app
qeuBot is a personal chatbot similar to Telegram inline bots or any other chatbots you may have encountered elsewhere. It can perform online operations as well as offline ones seamlessly through WhatsApp itself. No registration or adding of phone numbers is required.
Accessibility service needs to be turned on for qeuBot to work. With the app itself being less than 2 MB in size, it requires a maximum of 20-25 MB RAM when performing complex operations, while at other times, it requires no more than 5-10 MB to run in background. qeuBot runs only when WhatsApp is running in foreground and ignores all other foreground and background apps or services.
Screenshots
Screenshots are attached to the end of this post. Here's the link to the Imgur Album.
Features
Currently, qeuBot is capable of performing the following operations:
- Looking up Wikipedia articles
- Performing mathematical calculations
- Fetching news regarding any topic through Google News
- Providing movie ratings through IMDb and Rotten Tomatoes
- GIF search through Giphy
- Image search through Bing (Note that you need to use your own API key to avail this service)
- Current day and 5-day weather forecast of any region through Yahoo Weather
- Daily horoscope
More features will be added accordingly. Request for more features will be entertained in thread, not in PM.
*While most of the features can be used free of cost, you will need to make an in-app purchase to use image/GIF search and news search*
Privacy
No information is collected at all for the use of this app. We do not need to know your name, phone number, email address or anything of the sort for you to use the app. All kinds of exchange happen entirely between you and the 3rd party service providing you with the required information. There is no middle man, there is no logging of the queries you make, not even for analytics.
Is this legal?
Yes, completely. While WhatsApp has been known to ban accounts/numbers acting as bots, this will not be the case here. There is no phone number that one should add in a group or send a message to in order to get a reply. The app works independent of the service without exploiting any unofficial APIs.

- MIUI devices are not supported officially (yet)
- Image Search requires a Bing API Key which is available free of cost with rate limits upto 1000 calls per month. Get yours here - https://www.microsoft.com/cognitive-services/en-us/bing-image-search-api

First of all thank you for making it free.
It's an amazing app which is very useful at least for me in certain conversation.
One thing annoyed me is,
When I use things like news or horoscope or anything with text.
I don't know whether it's working in background or app is killed.
If you can add something like spinner or loader it would be good.
Anyways thumbs up for the app.

Latest update has an option under "Extras" to show a short toast message when an action has been triggered.
Great work, i hope you can take this to next level by making a " google assistant" as in google Allo to Whatsapp.
Edit: could not make the calculator to work on nexus 6 android 7.0

Making a separate assistant will be useless since people will expect it to be on the same level as Google Assistant. Let's wait till Google opens up their API, then I'll think about adding it.
Make sure you use only numbers for the calculator. Invalid expressions will not work.

Nice App, would like to see if it could handle other languages. Wiki, News and other with german result would be awesome.
interesting app concept.. good work buddy
Could you please add an event organizer?
By creating an event in a whatsapp group, the members will answer @in or @out and the bot will keep count of who´s in and out.
why miui not supported?
Can't find the Bot, using official WhatsApp 2.16.354 on Nexus 5 Nitrogen ROM

You have to text someone with for example : XDA @wiki

Yay everything is paid... Please give it to XDA for free, that would be much appreciated!
The app is telling me not to use a pirated version of the app, which I'm not. I downloaded it from the Google Play Store but I can't buy the rest of the features! Am I the only one that has this problem?
Qeubot bot is not showing in whatsapp. What am I doing wrong?
