Personally paid for Niagara launcher as I find that to be the far superior launcher to any other I’ve tried. My second one is Symfonium, the most feature rich and well developed audio player.
What are yours?
Slay the Spire
Also Balatro
Not today, Satan.
I’ve been playing it and it’s definitely fun but it’s not as sticky as StS imo. There’s too much randomness and not enough control. At least compared to sts
Give it some time, you might just get there.
The randomness is basically a variable to be controlled for in the same manner that it has to be controlled in Slay the Spire.
Don’t tell me this! I have it on my steam deck and it is addictive enough. I had no idea it was available on android. I am going to try and pretend I didn’t read this.
It’s coming for you… I’ve already bought it and played it all the way through on pc, switch, and android
You could also turn your steam version into the mobile version using this. It was created before the official apps but still works and transfers your save data too!
I’ve put 400 hours in on phone alone from public transit commutes.
You are not helping!
It’s has been a great game on my steam deck while I have been traveling.
The struggle is real.
I wonder if it ever goes on sale. I added it to my Google playstore wishlist to keep tabs.
I don’t think it goes on sale ever, but $10 is effectively a permanent sale compared to Steam
That game is tons of fun, but I suck at it.
Tasker. Pretty much programming your Android to automate things. Such a powerful app.
I got recommended Macrodroid, so I’m going to try that as well as a comparison for my needs
I have purchased both. I prefer Tasker but not as many things work as in Macrodroid in Android 14. So a big +1 for Macrodroid from me.
Stardew Valley
it was nova launcher pro till they fucked the dev team down to 1 dev who does everything so I moved to lawn chair because I can’t trust that the project is going to stay alive.
The only paid app that I have is Moon+ Reader Pro.
I read a boatload of ebooks on my device, and this has been my ebook-reader of choice for a while. I found it to be so good that I did the IAP, and stopped using Librera Reader.
For all that matters, I am a huge supporter of FOSS apps (that’s the reason I have only one paid app lol) - but Moon+ reader Pro beats Librera in two areas - Librera is pretty slow when it tries to open a huge file, and Librera also can’t download book covers like Moon+ does.
NZB360 for managing my *arr services for downloading movies and TV shows
WOW I had no idea this existed, but I’ve been wanting it for a long time. Thank you so much.
:D I’m so happy I could introduce you to it! It’s made my life so much easier.
Paprika app. Helps us meal plan and be prepared for the week. Cloud sync with my spouse, shared grocery list, calendar, pantry tracking, recipe scaling, and many more features. The best feature however, is that the screen does not go off while you are cooking.

What a great suggestion! Very nice 👌
RealCalc
It’s a really nice calculator.
I have this one. It’s the best Android calculator I’ve used.
I love the widget feature. You can add a whole calculator to your home screen, I have it taking up my second page, so whenever I need a calculator I swipe across once and it’s there.
An oldie but a goodie.
Surprised they still update it to work considering how old it is.
Windy. The best weather forecast app. You can have a free account, but with premium you get more often updated data from various models.
Unified remote. WiFi or Bluetooth control over any win/Linux/Mac machine with many remotes and incredible functionality.
Torque Pro. Extra gauges for your car, like oil temp, timing, fuel trim, air-to-fuel ratio, tire pressures, MPG, and so much more. Also you can use it to see if you’ll pass emissions before you even go in for testing. (Requires OBD-II Bluetooth dongle.)
Also if you’re willing to answer a couple of surveys a month, you can get paid apps for free forever using the Google Opinion Rewards app.
Google Opinion Rewards app.
Unless Google Googles you. I used to use this, but I have apparently been permanently silently banned from it with no explanation and no recourse. I did nothing wrong or disingenuous as far as I can tell; It simply kept asking me – presumably based on my location – how my experience was with retailer X, Y, or Z was. Always stores which I had not visited but simply gone near, and I truthfully answered that I did not go to those places and it’d give me thirty cents or whatever, but then one day it just stopped offering me surveys at all, apparently forever.
So I guess this flags the magic Google algorithm that I am worthless as a consumer and the app no just longer does anything on any of my devices anymore. It loads, it displays, but it never presents me any surveys. It squatted there on my phone completely silent for six months, so I uninstalled it. What a crock.
Also, I’m sure they’re spying on you all the time through that app. Obviously it tracks your location, and Satan himself only knows what else it reports back to them. I think I’d give it a miss at this point. I’d rather pay $2 of real money for some app versus having Google snooping around behind me all the time just to get something for “free.”
But yeah, Torque Pro is worth it. I use it all the time. So is Alpine Quest. Those are the only two paid apps I ever use on my phone.
Google don’t need an app if they want to spy on you.
Unless you’ve switched to a rom without google play services, they can essentially do anything they want on your phone without you knowing.
First time I heard of Google Opinion Rewards. Skimmed through the Terms of Service, and they indeed tell you that they use your location and gather information tied to your Google account.
But hey, at least this time they are paying for selling your privacy!
FX as an explorer replacement when Xiaomi put pubs in theirs.
You have a free version too, I don’t even use the “pro” stuff just wanted to contribute.
Aio launcher… Slick and I just like what it provides.
And before it became the next great yt sponsor… Ground.news . I’ve had it for like 4 years and it’s refreshing … I do miss the comments section but I also understand it was becoming a mess to moderate with their tiny team
Did anything change after they became a big YouTube sponsor?
I don’t think so, but it’s everywhere and I know folks tend to dislike that… I’m for their products
F-Droid image gallery. So many useful features, but I use it mostly for automatic galleries and metadata tagging
