I really shouldn't be astonished, but I am 😵.

This is, of course, utter abuse of user data, but what's even worse is that Google allows this.

#Conversations was taken off Google Play, and forced to remove its contacts linking feature for #privacy reasons, despite the fact that no contact data was ever uploaded to any servers, yet #Citymapper is allowed to share highly sensitive precise location data with third parties for the sake of #profit?!

🤬 Goodbye Citymapper!!

Thankfully we're not exactly short of #opensource alternatives: I love how #Öffi displays the timetables, but we also have #Transportr and KDE's #KTrip (which not only works on Android but also on #mobilelinux).

I don't know if you already know #transitous but if you don't it is worth to have a look at it. It's some kind of routing system #freesoftware based mainly on open protocols as well as some APIs.

It combines every kind of public transport to route, sometimes you need to check how to write start and destination, but it is anyway amazing. You can check it on https://transitous.org/

Its library or API is also used by other apps I also use such as #Ktrip and #Kitinerary, or others like GnomeMaps

It's kinda working it seems :) #KTrip 24.07.90, only missing some Belgium railroad providers? (I know we have our problems, but would be nice to be able to select one) :)
