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 really need a libreoffice calc on my android phone. Not just opening (where currently only Microsoft Excel on Android works for me) but also editing and saving to my connected nextcloud (where I have also problems with Excel)

Have you tried ~~calibre~~ collabora office? It not 100% there, but could work. (No idea how well it'd work with next cloud)

I cannot find callibreoffice. Where can I get it to try? Or do you mean Collabora?

My bad, it is collabora

Edit: I figured out what happened My brain combined LibreOffice and Collabroa and got Calibe the fantastic eBook managar.

I think OnlyOffice has an Android app and I suppose it’s open source, but I could be mistaken.
