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?

Also, gesture typing keyboards are an empty niche of foss alternatives. HelioBoard requires loading some proprietary blob unfortunately.

FlorisBoard is on the way to implement swype-typing. Unfortunately, it is unlikely to be very soon.

wasn't the last update 2 years ago?

Latest release candidate was released a few days ago.
