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:
Material Files https://github.com/zhanghai/MaterialFiles is a free and open source file manager that allows decompression, archive viewing and compression of files and folders using 7zip, tar or zip. If you prefer the command line, p7zip CLI can also be installed on Termux, https://github.com/termux/termux-app both free and open source.
You are not logged in. However you can subscribe from another Fediverse account, for example Lemmy or Mastodon. To do this, paste the following into the search field of your instance: [email protected]
5. Engage respectfully: Harassment, flamebaiting, bad faith engagement, or agenda posting will result in your posts being removed. Excessive violations will result in temporary or permanent ban, depending on severity.
6. Memes are not allowed to be posts, but are allowed in the comments.
7. Posts from clickbait sources are heavily discouraged. Please de-clickbait titles if it needs to be submitted.
8. Submission statements of any length composed of your own thoughts inside the post text field are mandatory for any microblog posts, and are optional but recommended for article/image/video posts.
Apps worth paying:
uTorrent PRO
CCleaner (if pictures consume lots of your storage and would like to compress them with minimum loss)
Any Zombodroid app
Games:
Castlevania: Synphony of the Night
Need for Speed: Most Wanted
Real Drift
Any emulator you would like to use
Adding on to games: bloons td 6
NO. fuck utorrent.
if you need an android Torrent client get something that’s not made by that shady-ass company, like LibreTorent (foss) or flud
also fuck CCleaner too.
I don’t think I could ever trust CCleaner after the self-signed malware incident.
For me, Steam Deck has entirely replaced Android gaming and then some.
Yeah, feel like that killed it off when it came to seeing it recommended.
Libretorrent https://gitlab.com/proninyaroslav/libretorrent is free and open source and isn’t anywhere near as shady as uTorrent.
Material Files https://github.com/zhanghai/MaterialFiles is a free and open source file manager that allows decompression, archive viewing and compression of files and folders using 7zip, tar or zip. If you prefer the command line, p7zip CLI can also be installed on Termux, https://github.com/termux/termux-app both free and open source.
I don’t edit photos or play many games on android so I don’t have any alternatives there but Lemuroid https://github.com/Swordfish90/Lemuroid is a free and open source console emulator with a whole bunch of consoles built in and Dolphin https://github.com/dolphin-emu/dolphin emulates the GameCube and Wii
Utorrent?? Lol
