  Description:

  Google apps track users more than most other apps as they are system-apps and therefore have full rights on android.

  There are several problems with avoiding Google apps:

  You won't get regular updates for your apps. Google's apps are not bad in functionality, but are in privacy.

  No access to Play Store (There are many alternative markets, but nothing is as good for free apps as Play Store) Meanwhile, F-Droid provides nearly everything you need.

  Some apps do not install because of missing Google Maps API

  Some apps Force Close at start-up because of missing Maps API or market license check issues

  Some apps hard-coded links to several Google Apps and therefore Force Close or react unexpectedly on certain cases.
