How do you use Android for productivity? (lemmy.world)

For the last couple of weeks, it was all fun and games. This week, we are going for a more generalized topic on how you use your Android devices for work.

I'm boring in regards to work apps, so I very much favor using Microsoft apps over Google apps for work, as overall I feel Google apps work better on iPhones than on Android (to my great frustration). Office and Teams work exactly how I expect them to, while their desktop version are a bit bloated, on Android they work super well, and there really is no replacement that's as good as Microsoft Lens for scanning printed documents into PDFs.

But, I understand my use for Android for productivity is fairly limited, so, I'm interested to see if we can put our head together and find some interesting ways to use your Android devices to help us all be more productive.

Well, there are people whose entire workflow can be and is done on a phone. It's just not the best method for you and me.

Do you know what they do? I seriously cannot imagine anything where at least a tablet wouldn't be much better and more efficient.

Low-budget vlog productions can be done completely on one device nowadays, and that's very appealing for some, like tech illiterate people who want to post shit online. For others it just works better for them than taking it off the camera/phone and putting it on a traditional PC to edit. Uncle Ben's Urban Rescue Ranch is a good example of someone who uses this type of workflow.
