I second this. Been using GOS for almost a year. One pretty big drawback is that it's not compatible with my insulin pump app, so now I carry around a 2nd device. Some banking apps aren't compatible as well. Wells Fargo and Amex work for me but Chase doesn't. The increased security and privacy is very noticeable, the inconveniences are worth it imo.

insulin pump app

Hopefully it's just for additional stats and options. Would be quite diabolical for a life-saving device to depend on an app that demands regular Android.

The app that I was using to fully control it doesn't work, which is why I carry around the OEM receiver/transmitter for the pump now. My pump would not function without one of those two options.

Weird. Amex works for me. My banking apps require the memlock protection turned off in settings, and so does my parking app. Otherwise, that's it.
