Is there any proprietary Android app for which you wish there would be an open-source alternative? (lemmy.ml)

Basically, what the title says. Do you use any app, that is proprietary, but either has no OSS alternatives or they're all not good enough? If there is an alternative, what keeps you from switching?

basic photo editor to crop, rotate, color correct, add text

ImageToolbox can do almost everything you described.

basic video editor to crop, clip, and combine video

Have you tried Open Video Editor?

Image tool box doesn't seem to be able to arbitrarily rotate or add text. Some nice features, though.

Open Video Editor doesn't seem to be able to combine videos. I'm thinking something like CapCut, which allows combining photos, videos, and audio. It would be an ambitious project to be sure, but it seems like it should be doable.
