Go to your phone homescreen and look at the app dock (the bottom row that contains some apps and stays the same when you switch pages).

Which are yours? Any FOSS apps?

In my case, they are FDroid, Signal, Threema, Firefox and the defaul Samsung camera app. So, 80% FOSS..

I don't have a fixed bottom row.

I've got maximum two pages. Folder Cover mode is much more efficient. (I hope for an immersive (full screen) mode some day)

90% foss of all apps.

What's not foss? banking, gov broadcasters, arte, ard, zdf, german train app, magic earth, ebay, dict.cc, car sharing,

I think they should make ard, zdf and arte open source!

Yes! It's bonkers that they did not yet do it

I also think that they should work with the same backend and similar frontend. But they rather pay 5 people do to the same job

dict.cc is really great! And at least the German<>English dictionary used is FOSS: https://dict.zero-g.net/

Nice, I didn't know that. Unfortunately, I have to use deepl/linguee in "a lot" of cases
