nostr:nprofile1qqs83nn04fezvsu89p8xg7axjwye2u67errat3dx2um725fs7qnrqlgzqtdq0 is working on several ideas for app bundles, including bundles that individual apps can create to recommend to their users on an Intent call.
Here would be my wishlist experience for nostr newbies on mobile:
Have an easy to install a bundle of apps:
- Signer/vault: to be really simple and secure to hold my private key and sign events.
- Lightning wallet: Phoenix, Coinos or something like that
- Mobile relay & backup: ?? to backup notes and stuff privately
- Short notes client: Like Amethyst, primal or others
and optional:
- Pictures/Videos client: Olas or similar
- Music client: Wavlake or similar
- News client: Stacker News or similar
- Long form client: Habla news or similar
- Other apps: Donations with Geyser, podcasts with Fountain, etc.
And ideally the bundle would install super smoothly, like first it opens the Signer to let you create the key, it has a button to immediately import npub into the other apps. In just a couple clicks all should be done and set.
What if there would be NostrBundle app that works as an installer of these other apps. The technical side could be like Obtanium, but something that can be sneaked into AppStores. Maybe it would provide options like "Basic nostr", "Full blown nostr", etc., but the default experience should not ask many questions - for newbies this should really be a couple of button clicks and they can modify specifics later if they desire.
There also may need to be some NIPs for better communication and passing of stuff between the apps.

Discussion
That would be great to have "Nostr beginner bundle" or similar on Zapstore, but it should be installable from Play Store and AppStore. Afaik Zapstore is not on those, right?
Not yet, I think.
Hopefully on Play Store later this year. Not a priority at the moment
That's great! And with your bundle solution - can we just share a link with newbies to the bundle and it will be super easy for them to install the bundle from scratch & without having zapstore installed first?
Or is it going to be more steps? (The more steps, the more annoying and less valuable the solution)
There are several moving parts to achieve that sort of user experience. All of them are open issues on Github already.
Without Zapstore installed first it gets tricky but I'll do my best
Yes, really want to make this happen
