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?

Heads up: Nova launcher got sold out to a shady company - Branch Analytics.

Stardew Valley.

The only other app I have paid for that wasn't a game is "iVCam" so I can use my phone's camera as a webcam that isn't limited to some stupidly small resolution or have a watermark, can do more than 30fps, and also works as a source in OBS. I mostly use it for full body tracking in VR with the April tag system. But I wouldn't say it's my favorite.

Easy question for me, Tasker. Don't know what I'd do without it. Come to think of it, as someone has already mentioned, Stardew Valley is pretty good too.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Tasker would be mine too. Apparently i don't have many paid apps lol

The only paid app I've got is Sound Profile. Puts the phone on quiet (except for family) at night, or silent (with auto resume to normal) in meetings. It's on my & spouse's phones.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

Idk about the meeting thing but do not disturb can do this already. Can set up a multiple schedules to auto turn on/off do not disturb and then allow exceptions from favorite (starred) contacts. You can also allow an exception from someone who calls you 3 times back to back in case they're calling you from someone else's phone. And can also allow some apps as exceptions in case you use a 3rd party alarm app or something else that you want to be able to make noise.

Windy. The best weather forecast app. You can have a free account, but with premium you get more often updated data from various models.

Buzzkill! Perfect to remove distracting notifications during work hours or to not see some notifications altogether

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 days ago (1 children)

What does it offer over Android's built-in Focus mode?

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

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Did anything change after they became a big YouTube sponsor?

RadarScope Pro is the first that came to my mind. I don't live in tornado country anymore, but got plenty of use out of it when I did

Meteogram, super customizable weather app. The subscription or one-time-for-life-payment allows access to all paid weather providers that are currently implemented

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 days ago

I also have a weather app similar to this. Weawow. I loved it so much and it was so well made that I thought it was well worth a donation to the developer.

My Android paid must haves are: Titanium Backup (for scheduled backups and quick recovery), Threema (Messenger) and airMusic (former AirAudio, stream from mobile to e.g. Sonos).

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 days ago (7 children)

Last time I used Titanium Bckup it was losing compatibility and I moved on to Neo Backup. Did Titanium get updated again ad some point or something?

What makes Threema better than Signal?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 days ago

I am not aware of any advantage, but my family and friends are using either Threema, Signal or Telegram. So I use all three of them.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Its business model and not requiring a phone number

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I think Signal still required phone number for registration, but you no longer have to disclose it to others.

F-Droid image gallery. So many useful features, but I use it mostly for automatic galleries and metadata tagging

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 days ago

Motioncam is an must have if your phone is powerful enough
