I have been using only open source apps for the last year. For basic stuff like podcast streaming and IM the Foss stuff is better than the proprietary stuff. For complex things like maps and assistants its like taking a step 5 years back in the past.

OSM and is no where near as good as google maps at most things but its still perfectly usable.

The average person probably won't be happy with a purely foss phone right now but if its something you care about then it can be done fairly easily.




what podcast streamer do you use? looking for alternative.


"SoundWaves" on fdroid. I just searched podcast and downloaded the most recently updated app and it was pretty good.


thank you, appreciate the response. downloading now will try for a week and see if I like, currently use podcast addict free version.
