Hey, Android enthusiasts! πŸ“±

Let's take a tour of your favourite non-game paid apps in 2023 that are worth every penny!

No APKs please. Play Store links and app screenshots are encouraged. FOSS projects worth a contribution or two (whether a donation or paid version) are also more than welcome!

Let's skip the games (that's a story for another day) and spotlight some ever-reliable paid apps recommended by @[email protected]:

  • Tasker: The master of automation, turning your device into an efficiency wizard.
  • Titanium Backup: Safeguarding your data with finesse.
  • SD Maid: Your neat freak companion, maintaining cleanliness and speed.
  • BigBag: Organizing your shopping escapades like a champ.
  • Wolfram Alpha: The answer guru for all things complex.

Here's to building a treasure trove of invaluable apps and supporting those who keep the Android landscape innovative and vibrant!

Weather Today has a lifetime premium deal for only $27 CAD. It's a no brainer if you want the best Material You weather app. It pays itself off in a little less than 3 years.

Tasker is super awesome

Buzzkill

Nobody mention Buzzkill? Notification history and custom rules. Top of my favorite apps

Interesting! I hadn't heard of it before.

Edit: I bought it. This seems great!

How is Nova on a pixel?

Really trying to stop using Google services and the Google search bar at the bottom is too convenient, shame you can't rid

I second Tasker as the best paid app I've used.

MX Player Pro and Nova Launcher are the two apps that I bought 10 years ago and That I still use

Definitely worth the few euros I spent for them

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

And they're both spyware now :(

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Both of these apps were sold to dodgy third parties who make their revenue through ads.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

are there any instance of Nova spying on it's users?
