Poor choice of colours: distinguishing between the orange of 2025 and the red of 2040 is very hard, especially considering most people will read this on a small phone screen.

According to that map Mexico is 2040, not 2025. The choice of colours is terrible.
I’m going to paste here the comment I wrote on another post about this same issue:
Organic Maps and OsmAnd are not adding ads during navigation. Nor “promoted pins”. Nor ads when browsing the map. Nor tracking your every move.
Seriously, give them a try. And remember that, if the maps are lacking information, you are free (and encouraged) to improve them on OpenStreetMap.
May I recommend OSS Document Scanner + Syncthing? Both apps are FOSS and it looks to me like that they might be able to replace what Microsoft Lens does for you with the advantage that you are free of Microsoft software.
As other user said: Organic Maps uses data from OpenStreetMap, so the best thing is to go there and see how the roads in that town can be mapped better, if bike lanes are present, and if other characteristics of the roads that make them more/less attractive to bicycles are tagged.
I understand this can seem daunting to someone who has never used OpenStreetMap, but I’d encourage you to at least add a note on the “death trap road” to let other, more experienced, users know about the issue and check the tagging of that and other roads.
Open Tracks allows exporting in either KMZ (default), KML or GPX format. Go to Settings, tap on “Import and Export” and there look, towards the end, for the entry “Export/sharing file format”.
Wanted to say the same: the typo made the comment better. There has to be a community for this.
Glad that it worked out in the end. It’s a pity that different Android versions and custom ROMs have this setting in different places, I guess this is also making it impossible for the developer to put a direct link to this setting in Heliboard that would work for all users.
MP3Tag sounds cool, but there’s no Linux version it seems :(
Found the solution to this some days ago: you need to change your System Spell checker to Heliboard.
Now the developer added it to the FAQ too:
Spell checker is not checking all languages in multilingual typing: Make sure you actually enabled HeliBoard spell checker. Usually it can be found in System Settings -> System -> Languages -> Advanced -> Spell Checker, but this may depend on Android version.
Hi sorry for the late reply. I’m not an expert here but I think I can help you with a couple of things:
I installed HeliBoard_1.2-release.apk
Then you’re fine. That’s the app intended for release. I assume you got the APK from the developers GitHub? I use F-Droid so there’s only option available.
It’s giving me suggestions, but no corrections
You could download that dictionary file that you linked, but I believe that is not necessary if your Android System language is set to English and you’re typing in English too, it should be able to use the System internal dictionary. In my case I have 4 different languages configured in Heliboard and I downloaded dictionaries 3 of them, but I didn’t need to download the one for my system language, it just uses the internal dictionary. For the other 3 languages: I downloaded their dictionary files, saved them in a safe location in my phone (I have a folder for apps Settings and backups, and I created a Heliboard subfolder where I keep my dictionaries and the glide typing library)
Regarding my old issue with changing languages and having the spell check change at the same time: I fixed that by changing the Spell checker app in Android’s System Settings. I found out about this reading a related GitHub issue and I suggested to the developer to add this information to the FAQs, which they quickly did (check the section “Spell checker is not checking all languages in multilingual typing”). You can also activate the Globe icon to Switch languages under Heliboard’s Settings: “Preferences/Additional Keys/Language Switch keys”, but I personally prefer being rid of it and just sliding on the spacebar
Than you very much! I’ve been using this app for moths and I didn’t know this. Cool feature.
I have the same problem. Before the official release as Heliboard, when it still was called OpenBoard (by Helium314), I could change the keyboard languages with the small keyboard icon on the bottom right of my screen and it would change the language AND there spelling dictionary, but by swiping up from the spacebar only the language would change, with the spelling dictionary still on the first language.
Now on Heliboard I don’t even have that possibility, since the small keyboard icon on the bottom right only shows one entry for Heliboard, not several (one for each language) as it used to be before.
That’s shit. I don’t want stuff installed on my phone without my knowledge
100% agree. I’ve always been shocked to see people claiming that automatic app updates are good for security. Having stuff being installed in the background on your device without your knowledge is good for security?
I understand the “we roll out an important security update and it quickly updates for all users” situation. However, I still want to chose what you install on my device. Look at what just happen with Simple Mobile Tools, how many unaware Google Play users now have spyware installed on their phones?
I’ve made a habit of opening GitHub issues asking for a changelog on those apps that I use that don’t provide one. Most developers are open and helpful, some are not.
The worst experience so far was with Wikipedia, they provide poor update information (usual “we update our app regularly to being you improvements”) and replied weeks later with “that’s what most apps do”.
RHvoice is text-to-speech (TTS), what OP is asking for is the opposite: speech-to-text (aka voice recognition).
Year One. I can’t stand Jack Black nor Michael Cera after wasting 90 minutes of my life watching that trash.
Simple games don’t need internet access. Can’t you block network connection for that app?
A better option even is getting something like what BurnedOliveTree@lemmy.world suggested, or this other one https://f-droid.org/packages/org.moire.opensudoku/ or this other one https://f-droid.org/packages/org.secuso.privacyfriendlysudoku/
I guess depending on size and colour rendition of displays it can be easier / harder, but overall I’d still say it’s a poor choice.
A choice of different colours is OK, but specifically those 2 are pretty hard to distinguish. Simply changing one of them to black, which looks like no other colour used in the map, would be much better.
I don’t think a gradient works for colouring a map like this: we can distinguish gradient colours when they are next to each other, but if 2 countries far away have adjacent values the colours would probably be too similar to tell the difference.
