What commenters say

• Some users have switched to Fossify apps due to the introduction of ads and trackers in the original SimpleMobileTools apps after they were sold to ZipoApps. The Fossify apps are praised for their simplicity, minimal permissions, and lack of ads and tracking. However, some users have reported issues with certain Fossify apps, such as the voice recorder. The monthly view in the Fossify calendar app is seen as useful by some users, but others find it limited and prefer a view that shows more future weeks.
