Simple Mobile apps have been very popular among FOSS enthusiasts. I've personally been using the Gallery, Contacts and the Phone app since a few years now. It's a shame that it has come to this, will be on the lookout for their forks.

Wtf. I paid for the apps to avoid exactly this…

And this is why I never pay for apps. You never know what changes (external or internal) are going to enshittify it next.

If you dont pay for apps, they will 100% be enshittified

Hilarious that you read enough cory doctorow to know the term "enshittification" but don't know what "free" software really means
