I've been looking for a legit caller ID and or spam/robo call blocker that ISNT riddled with ads. I tried the true caller route but eff that! That was causing major issues on my s21 ultra because it kept forcing itself to be your SMS and caller app; I have separate apps for that and simply wanted the caller ID aspect.

Also a good spell checker/auto correcter out there. Idk if there are standalone apps which you implement with the keyboard of your choice or if its all built in to the keyboard. I've tried the few options which are Foss keyboards with auto correct built in and they have all been lacking... I suppose open board has been best thus far but still not great.

Also, forgot that I've been looking for a great ad/spam/tracker blocker but also a security app such as a VPN. It seems like there's only one available slot for a VPN and all the suggested ad blockers are VPN based, then how could you secure your traffic then? I'm currently using ad away and I suppose its OK but I still get certain ads somewhat frequently... Idk if there's a better solution. I like the idea of adguard but that just confuses me with the need for a key or lisence to get the most out of it.

That's all folks
