What Android apps are worth paying for? (lemm.ee)

What non-game paid apps do you use that are worthwhile and still relevant in 2023?

For context, I have a decent amount of Google Play credit thanks to Opinion Rewards and a gift card. I'm not looking to start a book or movie collection there, nor sign up for subscription services. But I'm happy to buy the paid/pro version of useful apps.

I'm excluding games just because that's a whole topic on its own.

Here are some one-time paid apps I've been happy with:

Folder Sync Pro - if you have a NAS or extra server, you can upload backups from your phone to there for safe offline storage. I use it to hold my photos and Tasker profiles.

SMS Backup and Restore - Likewise, this backs up your SMS and call records, useful if you are needing to preserve records for legal reasons or otherwise. They have an IAP purchase for pro - I think

Solid Explorer File Manager pro - Hands down, this by far for me has been nothing short of awesome. Well worth the $$ for it. They use the Unlock file

(Solid Explorer Classic UnlockSolid Explorer Classic Unlock) for this. Or at least used to - to enable the pro functions.

If you have Android Wear - pretty much any of the watchfaces you desire can be there or even make your own with some of the apps there for it. :)

Sounds like a worse version of Syncthing.
