I think you need your eyes checked if you think Simple apps are ugly.
And theres no better gallery app than Tibor's, which is an objective statement said by God himself.

    The only* default app that is really unusable is the AOSP Gallery app in my opinion. The others are basic but do the job fine.

    No, I most certainty don't. They are cartoonish, the colors are tacky, they are barely anything more than an exercise in mediocrity. You need to raise your standards. Otherwise, I think you are a cool cat : )

      AlanZ then it must be your wallpaper ;)
      They switched to Material You some month ago. I agree that the old orange-grey default does not look good.

      AlanZ I respectfully disagree. Maybe you dont like orange. You can change it in settings.

      The apps except the gallery don't look that ugly or amateurish to me, it is the material design version 1 or 2, the same design that google used in their apps previously, now they use version 3, Plus i don't spend much time in such apps, i m more worried about some apps like sms targeting old an sdk

      Simpe Mobile Tools has been sold and now the apps are full of ads or overly expensive. However there is now fossify phone and contacts that are a fork of the old SMT apps. They are ad-free and seem to work fine. I especcially like the ability to move contacts from one address book to another. And in the call history I directly see how long a call lasted.
