> hanks to Google efforts switching to GrapheneOS mean tons of apps either not working or break every few months.

I've been using GrapheneOS for years and that hasn't been my experience. There are two financial apps that don't work for me, and that's it. Pretty much everything else I use is fine. But, to be fair, I'm very scrupulous about my apps and tend to avoid installing an app for every little thing that wants me to.

My experience is the same as yours, and I run a huge number of apps for work purposes. A few have required disabling exploit protection but otherwise work fine.

With only one brief exception, all of my financial institution's apps have worked fine, too, including some banks I see drive-by complaints about on here.

Anyone curious should refer to the tracker: https://privsec.dev/posts/android/banking-applications-compa...

My experience is the same as yours. Even several financial apps work. And why shouldn't they? It's a safer OS to do finances than any other. Apps that blacklist Graphene are either data-stealing or just misguided.
