with the simple tools suite being sold to a purveyor of non-foss things, remind me of your favorite lists of recommended apps? i was using simple contacts and am not immediately sure of a good replacement. i would want one without internet permissions, which was why i disabled the google builtin.
What I’ve done for now is to turn on “ignore all new versions” at F-Droid. The F-Droid versions shouldn’t change much because F-Droid builds them. The Google Play versions are a different story and it wouldn’t surpise me at all if they ended up full of trackers.
