I am sorry to read that. Most people in western countries say “I have nothing to hide” and shrug it away. They confuse having something illegal to hide with privacy: no company or government should be able to read my personal messages to my partner or my parents, period. That’s why postal mail is been protected for ages.
They then also fail to see that “I have nothing illegal to hide” will suddenly change when your country becomes an authoritarian regime that jails you for criticizing the government, and these things unfortunately still happen and will continue to happen.

I use a custom OS (iodéOS) and can use biometrical security (fingerprint reader) and my banking app works fine. It has MicroG and passes SafetyNet.
With this being said, not all banking apps will work on custom ROMs / OSs, and SafetyNet might fail any day, as the developer has said, being honest, that it’s a game of cat and mouse.
OK, thanks for your reply. I’ll get the APK from GitHub and try it soon then. I hope there’s some way of removing words that the App’s dictionary has learned too. It drives me mad that OpenBoard has learned some of my spelling mistakes and now autocorrects to them.
You’re welcome. Take into account that switching from Apple / Google Maps to one of those apps is quite a change and takes some time to get used to: they work offline (which is great for hiking or traveling abroad) so you need to download the maps you’ll use beforehand. Also the data might be incomplete… but you can help to improve it, which I find really cool. And it’s important to realise that the data doesn’t come from the same source as the app, so missing map data is not the app developer’s fault. Finally there’s no business reviews or ratings, which I don’t personally miss, but I understand some people will.
I use Yet Another Call Blocker too, and although the app hasn’t been updated in a while, the database is updated daily.
I am not sure about what security risks there could be with this app not being updated in 1.5 years, since it only connects to the internet to download database updates. I am happy to be educated about the security risks that using this “old” app could have.
Interesting, do you know if it’s in F-Droid? Or did you install the APK from GitHub?
When I follow your link and tap on the F-Droid link it takes me to the original OpenBoard instead of this fork. I guess they might just have kept the original Readme file with the F-Droid link to the original app…
