Is there any closed source android app that you wish had a good open source alternative?

I'm currently looking to develop an open source app that can help somebody. I'm currently out of ideas, so I'd like to heard if from you guys.

Sorry if it seems to lazy to ask for ideas like that, I just thought that I could do it since the result will be a free app.

It doesn't have any rating (or maybe it just doesn't show them to me) and you said that it has a rating of 3.6. There is another app called the same that has rating of 3.7

The Play store link I provided doesn't show a rating to you?

no, it might be because there aren't any reviews in my language. But they could still show the star count, weird

How strange. You would think the star rating would always show regardless of regional settings and you would think reviews are also shown but with a translate button next to each review given that's not the same as what's set in your regional settings - the same as on Google Maps.
