Nope! I'm Google-app free.
My only app store is F-Droid. And I have yet to install any proprietary apps on my phone.
I've got Shelter set up in case my work ever pressures me to install any proprietary apps, but so far they haven't pushed anyway.
what do you use in place of maps and android auto?
Not OC, but I use OrganicMaps for maps and don't even want Android Auto so not an issue.
okay - i'll have to check out organic maps; ty for the tip :)
i dislike how my car's entertainment system is all proprietary. i would love a foss option, but i am kinda new to this whole scene. i am trying to do better <3
When I bought my current car, I went for the one with the "dumb" sound system. For my purposes, it's just a fancy bluetooth receiver. Not sure what I'm going to do when I upgrade, though.
That's the neat part. I don't!
I've got enough privacy concerns about my car's privacy policies that I don't want my phone talking to my car. (Except via the aux audio port, at least.)
And since I first got a smartphone, I haven't done enough traveling that I've ever felt the need for a maps app. But there are options on F-Droid. I just can't speak to how good they are as I've never used any of them.
Though, honestly, I can also just use https://maps.google.com/ through my browser.
