Fair Email. I grabbed it from F Droid and paid direct though.

Invaluable as a photographer. I think it's closed source though which is a shame.
Monument Valley. Got the first one for free during a promotion but loved it enough to pay for the sequel and extra levels.
This is my partners favourite game.
FL studio is pretty good. Got it ages ago and it still gets updates
Dicey Dungeons is pretty great.
Read Era is technically free, but I paid for premium years ago and have never regretted it. I can open any kind of uncorrupted book file, from the Amazon reader format to PDF to epub, and everything else I've ever come across. It has a great search function, and the ability to file a book into a custom 'Collection'. You can edit the details of a book, like adding Author or pusblisher info, add your own personal notes to a page or highlighted quote, see an aggregate of all your highlights in a particular file, and adjust the font, background color, and contrast to your hearts content.
I make my whole family use it now, cause I love it so much and Premium works on Family share.
I bought moon reader 7 years ago and still use it.
Game: crying suns It's a full ftl type game that's on steam as well. Big story. Took me a while to get through it
Cryptomator is a fantastic way to securely upload your stuff to cloud storage providers like Google Drive, OneDrive, etc. In my case, I use it to have an encrypted blob of my stuff with me on a drive when I'm out and about.
They also give you the ability to purchase a license independent of Google Play if you didn't want Google to get a cut.
I use Paprika 3 extensively.
I find recipes online, download them to the app stripped of all the online recipe bloat. It sorts all the information automatically, including notes and nutritional info. I can check off ingredients and highlight directions, edit tags, compile menus, add my own notes and write my own recipes, it automatically provides a grocery checklist, has a serving calculator to adjust amounts for whole recipes, built in timers, and that's just the basics off the top of my head.
It's free up to a certain amount of storage but I think all the features are available.
Balatro
I think my cousin told me he really likes this game. Is it really worth the price?
It is one of the best games I've played this year. Really easy to get into for short bits, I pirated it first, played for a few hours on PC, bought it, played it for a few dozen more, and happily bought it for my phone.
Really good, very addictive
Very much worthwhile. Pick up Slay the Spire while you're at it.
Yes
I didnt enjoy it but my friends that do have lost days to it lol
I got it yesterday, it's bloody solid. Did tend to demolish my battery a bit, but that night just have been because time was dissolving before by very eyes. If you commute or have to burn time a lot (I spent a lot of time in hospital waiting rooms recently) then it's amazing m no microtransactions either
Threema!
I love Simple Audiobook Player+. The UI is super minimal (and really maxes out the whole OLED black thing if you choose it) without compromising on features that are kind of essential for audiobooks (e.g. delayed pause/sleep timers, speed settings, volume boosting, an EQ). My favorite thing is the "undo seek" button. I'm an oaf who is constantly inputting accidental touches. When I was using Audible, I'd have to manually find where I was after accidentally hitting the next chapter button or moving the dot on the progress bar. SABP lets me just undo that shit.
It hasn't been updated in a while, but it doesn't need updating when it does its job so well. There are no ads, no marketing notifications, just books. It's like a program from coreutils
in app form. It might be a bit ugly or outdated looking, but I'm about that.
Smart audiobook player is great, but I do wish we had an open source alternative. The audiobookshelf app is almost there, but it still requires a self-hosted server I believe.
Smart Audiobook Player is different from Simple Audiobook Player. I actually didn't know about Smart ABP, it looks pretty nice!
I agree, I'd prefer a FOSS option that's self-contained. The only server I need is one that I can rsync books down from.
Torque and a $5 BT car computer dongle. It tells you everything about your car. You can see what warning lights mean and clear the codes.
Tasker. Basically an interface for writing scripts for your phone. Even if you don't have a use case in the beginning you'll start finding things to do with it.
I used it to identify the cell towers near my home and turn wifi off when I was out of their range and back on when I was in range. It seemed to help save battery by not constantly looking for wifi networks and I didn't have to remember to turn it off and on manually.
Sleep as Android
It's just a really great alarm clock app, but with tons of other sleep tracking functionality. I've always had trouble sleeping through my alarms, but I never do with this.
If you run Home Assistant, Sleep as Android can publish events to an MQTT broker so you can create automations based on those events, like "smart_period", "awake", "not_awake", "alarm_alert_smart", etc.
Slice and Dice is a very entertaining one time buy game. No bullshit in game purchases, no ads, I think developed by a singular guy.
Symfonium is an awesome music player that's a one-time $5 purchase.
Great question, btw.
You solved the sinhle issue I had with Finamp: Casting to audio devices.
THANK YOU
