        I left Android in mid-2019 for UT and am still using it (FP2). 🙂

        How can you trust that an app really won't send some company your location data, when you tell it not to? The only way you can trust a program not to do something it isn't supposed to do is if it is free software. ~ RMS

          @mrt10001 I understood before your development what you meant by the word 'play' and that's fine because it suits you. 🙂

            @picrard Frankly, I have been using UT for 8 months or more, and my phone is a daily use pixel 3a xl, and I have adapted to the situation, and I do not intend to go back to Android 😉. There is a huge difference in terms of reliability, and the problems that I encountered with Android are countless If I compare it with UT, I am now on 20.04 dev and waiting for the stable version.
            i like UT OS and I want it to succeed✌

              I can relate to your situation, as I am having the same issues with my FP3+. Surely the largest pain is (in this order): Camera slow/unreliable, missing working podcast app, bluetooth connectivity.
              Still I will not go back to google because of my concerns with their monopoly and data collection.
              Personally, the experience of a free and private phone outweigh the mentioned disadvantages I have.
              And considering this project is largely community driven, what a huge achievement. My utmost respect to all os and app developers and supporters to this amazing project.
              I will hold out for future improvements.

                missing working podcast app,

                Idk whats wrong with podphoneix, but theres no bug expressing any usability issues.

                Please report issues youre having to the github.

                    @phoenixlandpirat podphoenix became unusable for me with ~ 5 podcasts as it was unresponsive while downloading podcasts for ~10 minutes and then my disk was full, had to delete the episodes and close podphoenix as it was still unresponsive.

                      @redxxiii camera is ok when there is good lighting and no motion in the scene. Often this is not the case, as my son usually does not stand still:-)

                          @homer there are no bugs about any of that on github, you should report it so more people who develop or work on the app can know about the bugs, and try to fix it.
