For me, Google video search, Google books (Internet Archive is good, but doesn't always have the same stuff), Adobe InDesign (but in the process of learning LaTeX), and Typewise. As for the Google stuff, I liked Whoogle a lot, but almost all their instances seem to have been blocked or shut down. Also, apologies if this is repeating an earlier post.

Google maps, venmo, and lyft are my last real holdouts.

I tried Osmand~ but it like using your dads Garmin from 2005. The last two have been hard to find good alternatives to. Would be nice if signal payments were in a stable coin instead of a shitcoin.

OsmAnd is a maps app, not a navigation app

Are there good FOSS navigation apps?

Is Organic Maps better at navigation than OsmAnd?

I've been using Organic Maps for my navigation. It uses the same OpenStreetMap data, but navigation (as well as searching for e.g. "food" as opposed to a specific place) works flawlessly and routing happens offline.

Seems ok, but seems to struggle w/ long distances. Works better than osmand tho, thanks
