The apps are so simple, so clear, no fuss, no ads, no nothing. Just the functionality you need from every app. Excellent work!

This is the only project I immediately "donated" with the Thank You app.

Me too, but I hate having the useless Thank You app installed

My phone came w/ a folder for apps from my service provider and I've been adding to it any apps which I don't interact with regularly (since I've been able to keep my apps down to a single screen so I don't have to scroll).

You can uninstall them via adb. For Example there are different "unbloat your samsung device" github pages which give you a list of apps you can safely remove.

Instead of needing ADB, you can also go into Settings > Apps, turn on ‘show system apps’, and disable the ones you don’t want from there.
