I switched to Osmand when my bike computer got stolen and tbf I prefer Osmand, especially with the widgets and stuff set up for the cycling profile
Which OpenTracks? Google PlayStore has two.

Github page: https://github.com/OpenTracksApp/OpenTracks
And releases https://github.com/OpenTracksApp/OpenTracks/releases
But I can't manage to add it to obtainium
Or Fitotrack, which has an even nicer dashboard (with horrible colors, unfortunately) to screenshot and send to friends to brag (not that I'd ever do that ^__^)
Iirc opentracks works better with import/exports. Apart from that, both do their job.
Don't use it in the first place, no need to share your cycling information.
Rather unfortunately, many clubs and events use these apps to coordinate routes. One ride event I did used RidewithGPS, and I never use it normally.
Alternatively, if you can export the GPX file, you can import it to your privacy-first app, like OSMand.
