Slightly off-topic, but I decided to reply as I can add a bit more info
about the subjects that bill-auger touched.

It seems that is stretching the FSDG wording a bit too far.
As long as there is at least 1 phone in the world that runs fully free
software and can run that app, then I do not see how the suggestion
could conflict FSDG.
Practically speaking, if you're suggesting an iOS app, I can see a
conflict. On the other hand, if you're suggesting an Android app that
runs on Replicant[1], I would deem it ok.

Actually, in light of the FSDG, F-Droid is not acceptable[2]. It
distributes some apps that:
- promote non-free software;
- depend on non-free software;

F-Droid has this clearly marked as anti-features for those apps, but
that is not deemed to be enough.

Replicant had to refrain from including F-Droid while the proper fix is
still in the making[3][4].
