The Kompakt Community App Ranking is a shared library of reviews, written by Kompakt owners, covering the apps they have tried on their phones. It aims to help answer a practical question of: which apps work well on Kompakt, and which ones do not.
Why it exists
Kompakt runs MuditaOS K, which is based on AOSP (Android Open Source Project). Given that it is a de-googled system, not every third-party app behaves here the way it would on a standard Android phone. Some run cleanly, some run with quirks, some do not run at all. The App Ranking gathers what the community has learned so the next person does not have to start from scratch.
How to post a review
Find the thread for the app you want to review, or start a new one if nobody has yet. Describe how the app actually behaves on your Kompakt. Does the core feature work? Do notifications come through? Have you run into crashes? Include your MuditaOS K version and the app version you tested, and be specific. “Messaging works, sending attachments fails” is far more useful to the next reader than “mostly fine”.
How voting works
Each app can be voted up or down based on community experience. When enough owners report that an app runs well, it rises in the Ranking. When reports point the other way, it drops. The Ranking reflects real use from the community, not editorial judgement from Mudita.
Making the most of the Ranking
Before installing something new, check whether it has already been reviewed. If the app is ranked and working, you have a reasonable baseline to work from. If it has not been reviewed yet, and you do install it, feel free to share your experience with other users. That is the loop that helps keep the App Ranking system useful over time.
A note on security
Mudita does not host, verify, or recommend specific apps through the Ranking. It is a community resource, and it works because you bring your own judgement, particularly around permissions, version numbers, and where an APK came from. Anything sideloaded is installed at your own discretion.
