I LOVED Google Play Music. Hands down, one of the best music streaming services I’ve used. And then they killed it. And replaced it with a totally not-fit-for-purpose YT Music app that couldn’t even load the full list of artists in my library (scroll, wait for load, scroll, wait for load).
And now this.
Having used Android as my daily driver since the HTC Dream, I moved over to Apple a year ago. I miss many things about Android but the constant death of great but poorly/zero marketed products and services isn’t one of them.
I’m so impressed with how much third party mapping has improved. Especially Magic Earth - it locates me faster then Google maps, while not having a data connection out in the boonies. Like in 2 seconds.
Even in the city GMaps never locates me anywhere near that fast.
Navigation in Magic is also fsr, far faster. Again, 2 to 3 seconds to map a route.
Still on Android here, but Apple Music is by far the best music experience (even on Android!) which I find quite amusing. Was a worthy replacement after GPM died.

Best way to use an Android is to stay as far away as you can from Google products or at least minimize it.
Protonmail, Organic Maps/Magic Earth, Signal, Firefox, Spotify, Newpipe, AntennaPod and so on.

Stellar advice, and that’s a fantastic set of apps you’ve suggested.

It’s on Android?!? I need to share that with my partner - huzzah for Family Sharing.
