A decent language learning type app, like dulingo
All my installed apps are FOSS
Partiful / evite. There’s not much out there that’s a good simple replacement.
YouTube
Odysee?
My biggest gripe with Odysee is the fact a lot of the people I like to watch aren't on there. Otherwise, if they'd just set up an account and have it linked to their yt account, I'd be on there a lot more.

Why did you get downvoted lol? Odysee and Peertube are pretty good alternatives.
Ultimate Guitar Tabs. After spending years getting a community to contribute to one of the best music resources on the web, they turn around and lock all but the most basic features behind a pay wall.
Holy shit the most painful and miserable experience is using this god forsaken site, let alone the fucking mobile app. Actually rage inducing.

Full on Transit app that works well. Most that do are closed sourced and the ones that are open do not work well. A traffic app would be good but that would be very resource intensive. So not holding my breath.
Without wishing to give too much away, I know a group of people who work at a public transport agency in the UK. They recently had a meeting with Google about "opening up our data" which amounted to Google wanting the agency to sign a contract that would give Google exclusive rights to realtime and scheduling data in perpetuity, then Google would decide if/when/how it would be made public. The agency didn't say "fuck off", but something to that effect.
Now, instead, they're working with a group of students to create a public API with a permissable licence and a framework for other agencies to do the same.
So... maybe do hold your breath? Transit is one of those areas that attracts nerds and nerds love open source.
I mean, there are several FOSS transit apps around. The Netherlands, Germany,...
I will hold my breath and cross everything! The UK ministers have a nasty habit, especially in the last 15 years, of giving it away for free when aligned to the Ministers personal interests. Bent AF in Northern terms.
