What are your iOS hidden gem apps (self.asklemmy)

Preferably lesser known but game-changing apps that are able to be bought one-time and put all others to shame.

To help clarify your thinking, which apps have produced such an outrageous level of value (regardless of one-time cost) to the extent you believe it should be #1 in its category, not necessarily #1 app ever.

We'll do a seperate thread for Mac, Windows, Linux, Android, etc but let's stick to iOS for this one. Thanks Lemmings!

I’ve got three.

For those that like reading articles the built in news app is actually quite good and even has daily crosswords with more puzzles to follow. I used up the free trial and went to paid because I liked the app so much.
Less of an unknown, but if you like OSRS the mobile app is actually pretty great and since OSRS could run on a potato it doesn’t lag at all.
For people wanting to learn Asian languages the hello apps are really good. I’ve been using HelloChinese for awhile now and it’s built and populated with native speakers. Duolingo is weird with its syntax for Asian languages so this one is much better imo.
