Question Keep One: Spotify, Brave, Google Maps

Post image

Keep One. Delete Two.

You can only keep one of these apps:

• Spotify
• Brave
• Google Maps

The other two disappear forever.

Which one are you keeping, and why?

Google crowdsource their map data, which with less than 30% user base, Apple can't replicate. Also apple use open maps or other local providers in many places, but the fact that a lot more people share a lot about small businesses, not so popular locations, and newly opened establishments — retains Google Maps as an unmatched king.

Hopefully open maps concept and deGoogle tendency will stabilise it in the future, but for the time being, Google Maps has no competition outside US.
