I appreciate this thread and I see a lot of great ideas. I just ordered my Kompakt but won’t be arriving for another few days, so I cannot add to the requests list just yet. However, as proof of the existence of this thread, Mudita should create some sort of feature backlog upvote system where users can submit their ideas (and staff can moderate and only approve acceptable ones to be published/upvoted) and users able to upvote ideas they really really want the devs to implement. The company can still keep their own feature prioritization, but perhaps sprinkle ideas from this list in their todo. And as much as we appreciate @urszula bringing our requests to the team, this system would free up her time to do more high value activities.

@nary Thanks for this idea it’s great & we did discuss something like this, however, here the thing, only a small fraction of Mudita Kompakt users are on this FORUM. Sometimes it feels like everyone is here, but that’s not the case. As much as we would LOVE all of them to be here & contribute, that’s just not the case, so it would only be a reflection of a small subset of users who would be voting.
Since you just ordered your Mudita Kompakt, you may not know this (since you’re fairly new here) when we initially shipped out the devices to out Backers & pre-orders, we sent out a survey to the users (and there were thousands) and asked for their feedback. That survey gave use a good overall picture of what our users are looking for.

“That survey gave use a good overall picture of what our users are looking for.”
I’m curious, how many asked for volume buttons, a microphone, a sim tray, swipe gestures? I’ll assume the figure was low. I also assume that hardly anyone requested a timer, but I would hazard a guess that the majority of users expect one. I would call these fundamentals in a phone today, however minimal.
The next category is a little more variable. Very few respondents from the UK and US would have asked for voicemail notifications, but as Mudita has seen, users from such regions expect it to be present.
Mudita’s past efforts to determine a feature list are commendable, but they were not exhaustive. Mudita seems to be treating that earlier exercise as gospel. It seems to me that Mudita is failing to understand this and, in the process, is exasperating its users.
(I know voicemail notifications is coming.)

- Calendar sync
- Video support in camera and texting
- I care most about above 2, but otherwise tap-to-pay would be nice, warmer backlight, and matte screen protector would all be nice

The survey was done a couple of weeks AFTER they received the phone & had a chance to use it for awhile, so if they were missing the timer, I’m sure they would have requested it 
But I totally understand that some features are quite useful to have & it can be frustrating when they are not implemented as fast I you would like them to be. And I’d like to assure you that I did let the team know that the timer feature is requested.

@urszula thanks for your reply. I’ve just trawled through my inbox and can’t find any email from Mudita asking for my input. On the other hand, I did find a comment from your colleague Aleksander dated May 2025 passing on the request for a timer.
So, this begs the question: who were these zen masters who float above needing the fundamentals? And on a more serious note, just because Mudita asked one set of users once, does that mean … oh, screw it. I’m clearly wasting my time.

It’s great that Mudita sent out that survey! But it’s foolish to believe that the results of one single survey at one particular point in time outweigh the constantly updated voluntary reporting of users who care enough about the product and community to be an active part of the official online forums.
@nary isn’t demanding that our suggestions and requests be enforced against Mudita’s wishes; rather, I believe he is merely suggesting that Mudita use the features already built into the Discourse forum system that the Mudita forums run on to organize the feedback you are already receiving in a much more beneficial manner.

1. Functional album covers in the music player.
-Now its just blank, which seems a shame with so many cool covers.
2. Holding down the backspace behind some text not deleting the whole message, only what’s behind, not in front.
-If you hold too long you have to start over, so you have to tap backspace repeatedly to be safe, which takes time and is annoying. It makes editing longer notes or texts a pain and erasing the text behind links in SMS slower.
3. Scandinavian keyboard layouts “QWERTY ÆØÅ” and “QWERTY ÅÄÖ”
-While auto-correct and language options for norwegian, danish and swedish would be great, the layout itself is what I want most, and seems easier to implement. Long-pressing to get ÆØÅ constantly is tedious.
Im excited for 2026 updates with custom ringtones/SMS, timer, stopwatch and video support in camera/texting.
My actual most wanted feature is a long-shot, maybe even impossible, but…
-Vipps, its the only app a norwegian can’t go without, but it requires google services to function, so sideloading doesn’t work, I hope a workaround exists, otherwise I have to carry a smartphone with me when going out of the house.

That would be very helpful, but it supposes that one topic = one feature request. I think this would be the best way to use Discourse, but it would need some discipline and moderation. Worth a try!
