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?

Jokes aside, I find that attitude not very healthy.

Calling a source-available license "not proprietary", this is what not very healthy.

"Source-first" or "fair code" are just a fancy ways to say "proprietary".
