Nothing’s own Suite of Apps

**Feature Request 35: Nothing's own Communication Suite of Apps** Are Google's Communication Suite of Apps good enough? -I doubt. There isn't a month that Google Dialer and Messages are not riddled with some sort of bugs, be it battery draining issue or buttons disappearing after making a call to someone etc. and some controversial issue like Sending users data without permission. I feel developing Nothing Dialer/Phone, Contacts and Messaging App with Nothing's unique visual language would be a wise decision, just not to duplicate some Google Apps but to better the user experience.

Anonymous931 and don’t forget FREE. They buy low end CMF phones, which are excellent at their price point don’t get me wrong, and want services for free. Please….

megatomic I love my CMF1 and will squeeze at 16900 pence out of it.

megatomic

CMF1_hacker the point is that an entire segment of the Nothing/CMF user base is buying the least expensive devices they can expecting a portfolio of apps and services that they have no reason to expect. It’s laughable.

CMF1_hacker

megatomic I agree. They also want constant updates. The honest answer is that I can’t believe that the CMF1 made money at that price point as the SoC and screen are very solid and expensive. There’s literally zero left for development. I have no evidence but I assume that the CMF1 was subsidised by the NP2 purchases (and current NP3 purchases at full price).

Nothing should grow as company to perform such stuff with replacing Google’s apps. It requires large amount of manpower indeed. But we will come to that eventually.

tucos replacing Google apps? not using Android, makes no sense, sorry :/

Anonymous931

tucos Like replace Gmail with Nothingmail, YouTube with NothingTube, Google Maps with Nothing Maps… ? Yeah, good luck with that.

gauravsp278 and better gallery ap. (In my opinion, because it’s just Google photos in different style)

Anonymous931 kaos/chaos!

tucos

Anonymous931 dayum, you went too far, I didn’t meant that, that’s pure lie

tucos

Anonymous931 i meant Nothing Dialer, Notes, Files and etc, this is obvious, look at original post

armanalipour

gauravsp278 and message, phone call

tucos So selectively, some Google apps are good, some Google apps are bad and we need Nothing to replace the latter? You see where the issue is there? Who decides which apps are good or bad? For example, Google Keep is absolutely goated app, no notes app can replace that, yet you mentioned exactly notes here. Also we even have that - the Essential Space.

Anonymous931 in my past Samsung experience, I was happy using only Samsung apps. I disabled every Google app I had not including a few. Here in Nothing I use most of them cause really there’s no good alternative. I’d like to see Nothing-styled notes app, dialer. It’s alright to me to use Google’s files manager as it has some fun animations tbh or stick with Gmail as it works. But still having these all apps in Nothing style would be great, its fonts, its colours, why not?

Is there any update regarding building your own nothing apps replacing apps like Google dialer, Messages, File manager, Music app, etc.

As other oems once tried to shift to gappps for the dialer and messaging app but they are shifting back as google prioritizes the pixel owners first.

Gallery app was released in January, but it still isn’t default yet, might happen in September patch update. And unless you don’t add cloud backup option in gallery, it is useless. Requesting to add multiple backup options like gdrive, onedrive, mega, or any other.

There are some other issues like heating , battery drain, camera improvement that needs to be addressed quickly as i have stopped recommending nothing devices mainly due to these above reasons.

Rest, live in peace

khanubi cloud backup option… which cloud? Nothing Cloud? Are you interested in deferring the substantial cost of hosting cloud storage by paying a fair subscription price?

jay_again

khanubi default gallery is already rolling out. plus we have google photos for backup. and I dont think any brand has given third party cloud like mega and stuff integration in gallery. excpet google and apple. also nothing came clean with OS. unlike other OS with bloatwares and ads like xiaomi.

khanubi

megatomic I am saying 3rd party cloud, like xiaomi gallery has google photo backup feature inbuilt in gallery.

khanubi

jay_again why you need 2 gallery options when you already have google photos.
