Not used it yet with the subscription, so I would be curious to hear what features are not working.


Nice. So is €3.5 around 3-4 cans of beer in Colombia?


That’s nice to read, happy you found a solution fitting for you. Also happy to read you’d like to contribute, sometimes I get mixed feedback when it’s about giving back somehow to these devs.



Thanks for bringing it to my attention. I think I used an apk from way before and now after updating it I see their new beautiful UI. Pretty nice.

I’m also all for OSS, but in this case, for me, there’s no OSS alternative for navigation. Both CoMaps and OsmAnd can be used for it, but not tailored to do it.

As a frequent and satisfied user, I’m happy to contribute to their development. 15 EUR annually doesn’t seem far fetched, but you can actually get the Premium package on their site for 6 EUR (link to the pricing page). That’s like 3-4 can of beers kind of money.


As others already stated there are solutions already to pin apps and to be honest, I feel I would not give the phone to a policeman like that.

On the other hand, what I’m more concerned about is giving the access to my phone’s data through different permissions to my government.

For example this is the list of permissions for the Hungarian government app: https://reports.exodus-privacy.eu.org/en/reports/hu.gov.dap.app/latest/#trackers


I’m not familiar with such solutions, but I wouldn’t get your hopes high, as Google Docs is not a collection of publicly available files (like YouTube), rather files closed behind different accesses.

Based on this, depending on how a file is shared with you, you could be asked to authenticate yourself somehow. Without the deeper understanding of your situation, I can only think of one solution: downloading these files with manipulating the links, like this for example (if they are public): https://stackoverflow.com/questions/9045392/getting-the-download-link-for-a-public-google-docs-file?rq=1

If they are not public, I think you still have the chance to do this, but I can’t see any steps around authenticating with Google in their own site. And then download the file.


I’m mostly on board with this, but even with using only trusted, vetted… apps (which is already a huge challenge for some) I wouldn’t go for sure that none of those are going rouge (as we saw before: some adv company buying a decent SW and making it a bloatware).

Getting back to my first point: I just had a situation where I had to install Viber for example, and I can’t stress enough how grateful I was for the Storage and Contact scopes features.


I feel like their goal is more close to providing a privacy-minded alternative to Google’s G-suite to “regular” users, so for me it totally makes sense. But yeah, I’m also really waiting for the Linux drive app.


Do you have any smart home setup as of now? Asking because if you have a Hue Bridge or Home assistant running at homefor example, that could narrow the results.


ProtonPass has mail aliases that work together with Proton Mail. I think they bought SimpleLogin some time ago. It could be a paid feature thought.
