I’ve been using GrapheneOS for over a year. I cannot complain about it, it works as advertised and it does it the best way possible. However, here’s the list of things I find annoying/missing. Keep in mind, this is a subjective list.
- some (quite a lot of for me) apps require Google Play Framework (or whatever the name is) to work properly
- Aurora store tends to be unavailable randomly, which makes installation/updates difficult sometimes
- some features are wonky, e.g. GrapheneOS has no issues with disabling wifi when leaving my home but I was never able to enable wifi when I’m back home.
- default apps work ok-ish but it’s far from good old iOS/Android experience
- Android Auto experience was a shitshow for me
Pass - Proton team picked up light theme recently so I’m guessing it will available in a year or so :)
Drive - had no described issues. I can search photos using its names. However, photos are not searchable through the web app.
VPN - true, dark mode only which sucks but honestly, I open it only where there’s an issue with the VPN which is rare nowadays.
What I can say it that Proton products are for somehow “aware” users, which are not discourage by occasional issues. I would say it’s a late beta state of things. I’ve been a happy Proton customer for quite few years and cannot complain about it. The best thing is that when I had an issue, I’ve raised a support ticket and within a day or two it got fixed. Or if it was an user(aka me) issue, it got explained with as much details as I needed.
