I know some of you have gone complies FOSS, but I believe if the developer wants to make money from their apps, there's noting wrong with it, as long as they are ethical. So what are your favorite non-foss apps?

The Showly on F-Droid is not the same as the one on the play store, it says in its description it is a fork.

The play store description says its open source and will be on F-droid soon but I actually did not see it there.

I have the F-Driid version on my phone. I don't know all the differences with the play store version, but one difference is that you can't in-app purchase the premium features.

Well, you do not have it from actual F-droid since its not on there: https://search.f-droid.org/?q=Showly&lang=en

You likely have it from the Izzy repo but as I said that one is a fork: https://apt.izzysoft.de/fdroid/index/apk/com.michaldrabik.showly_oss

Yes, that's correct. Sorry for the confusion.
