Is there any proprietary Android app for which you wish there would be an open-source alternative? (lemmy.ml)

Basically, what the title says. Do you use any app, that is proprietary, but either has no OSS alternatives or they're all not good enough? If there is an alternative, what keeps you from switching?

I would like to find alternative to Garmin app. It is bad if you don't want to use the cloud features, also you can't plan routes without internet connection like wtf that's the only reason I bought it for.

It didn't work. (not being snarky, or a dick, honestly trying to help)

It hasn't worked. It worked. It didn't work.

For some reason getting tense correct on words like "work" is confusing for ESL. (or autoincorrect got you)
