I would love to try it for a month before saying if it's worth or not, sadly I recently changed phone so I'm not sure if I should do it again.
I will try both apps for maps
I know about protons alternatives to google but I've never tried them. Is it worth the monthly plan (if you use it)?
To be fair, the Fairphone is not the greatest in terms of specs, its more middle of the road but on the expensive side. But its has a way longer life. So I get that you want to think on it, because it's more of a commitment to justify the cost
I'd say the paid plan is definitely worth it. The VPN is awesome. Very fast and with a lot of servers around the world. The drive is solid and they keep adding more features like automatic backup for you photos and secure file sharing. Lately they added a Docs to the drive, similar to google docs.
I have a family plan with my wife and brother in law and we share the costs, that makes it even more worth it.
I care more about storage, camera for normal-ish pictures and battery life
I was thinking about picking the ultimate and I'm probably going to do it later
Haha well the battery life sucks and the camera is fine, not great
Not the answer I was looking for but thanks. Currently, I have ~20% left after work, the battery life is something really important for me
~~Just checked and every proton app is only on Google Play (ew), got the mail app from github but there's no proton mail on fdroid~~ Calendar, Drive and mail are not
Proton offers the service of downloading most APK's directly from their website, bypassing the play store. They do this to help people get their apps in countries where it isn't accessible. Take a look at protonapps.com and they also have a lot of information on how to set up their apps on different operating systems
@runwaylights @Cris16228 I've been wondering why all apps don't do this. Why do we need GateKeeper stores?

I know, I will all their apps where on fdroid
