Stardew Valley.
The only other app I have paid for that wasn't a game is "iVCam" so I can use my phone's camera as a webcam that isn't limited to some stupidly small resolution or have a watermark, can do more than 30fps, and also works as a source in OBS. I mostly use it for full body tracking in VR with the April tag system. But I wouldn't say it's my favorite.
Android has webcam support in USB mode and has for like 3 versions now, though?
When it asks you what you want your device to do when plugged into a PC you get options like "file transfer (ftp)”, webcam should be on the bottom
Works flawlessly for me in both Linux and Windows for OBS
To be fair, I bought the app years ago when that wasn't a thing. But I also don't see webcam as an available option when plugging it into my PC. I have a carrier branded Pixel 8 rn, so it might not have everything a regular stock android would. :/
I can actually just use some FOSS thing I found on GitHub to basically remote access my phone now via ADB, which is also handy in VR as I can use a VR version of it without taking off the headset.
My Android paid must haves are: Titanium Backup (for scheduled backups and quick recovery), Threema (Messenger) and airMusic (former AirAudio, stream from mobile to e.g. Sonos).
What makes Threema better than Signal?
I am not aware of any advantage, but my family and friends are using either Threema, Signal or Telegram. So I use all three of them.
Why Threema?
Currently limited to groups chats of 256 participants and group calls of 16 participants
For privacy, freedom, and control, iOS is out. As with Telegram, I advise staying away from the Google variant and highly recommend the Threema Libre implementation for Android. Licenses are not compatible across variants, so stick with the Threema Shop!
- Open source full E2EE (end-to-end encryption) platform with regular security audits
- Mobile clients can be linked to Threema Desktop/Web
- Source code available for Android, iOS, Desktop, and Web
- Threema Libre implementation for Android
- Liberated from Google Services, uses Threema Push for instant delivery
- Reproducible builds
- Available via F-Droid repository
- Simplified (normal human-understandable) Changelog
- Multiple ways to purchase through Threema Shop
- With or without Email Address
- Cash, Bitcoin, Mastercard, Visa, or bank transfer - Can leave every non-payment field blank!
- 4.99 CHF, EUR, or USD per license
- Pay anonymously with cash (rounded nearest 10, buy in multiples of 2)
The largest criticism levied against Threema:
- 2023010? - Accusation - Three Lessons from Threema - Analysis of a Secure Messenger
- 20230109 - Rebuttal - Statement on ETH Findings
- 20230110 - Coverage - Messenger billed as better than Signal is riddled with vulnerabilities
"While some of the findings presented in the paper may be interesting from a theoretical standpoint, none of them ever had any considerable real-world impact," the post stated. "Most assume extensive and unrealistic prerequisites that would have far greater consequences than the respective finding itself."

Last time I used Titanium Bckup it was losing compatibility and I moved on to Neo Backup. Did Titanium get updated again ad some point or something?
Titanium Backup hasn't been updated in five years, and I think that update was just to meet requirements to stay on the store. Their last changelog entry is adding the menu icon after Android ditched the physical menu button. There are a bunch of settings that are broken or do nothing due to changes to Android over the decades (TB has been around for so long that it supports Android 1.5).
I've been using Swift Backup as a replacement these past few years. It's closed source but was recommended to me, and I haven't run into any problems yet. Is Neo better in some way, aside from being FOSS?
I've heard of Swift Backup but never tried it because I think it was paid or automatic backups were a paid feature or something. But for my simple needs Neo Backup has been perfect.
Yeah, it's twelve bucks to unlock scheduled backups and cloud syncing in Swift Backup, but then again this post is about paid apps. :)
Which is perfectly fair. I just tend to be stingy about paying for apps when there's a free one that does what I need.
Nothing wrong with paying for something that's worth it, though.
Titanium has been abandoned for years. Swift backup is what I switched to, or DataBackup on GitHub if you want a free option.

Smart Audio Book Player. I listen to a lot of audio books and this one was more than worth the €2.39 I paid. So many features I love it.
Buzzkill! Perfect to remove distracting notifications during work hours or to not see some notifications altogether

Windy. The best weather forecast app. You can have a free account, but with premium you get more often updated data from various models.

Aio launcher... Slick and I just like what it provides.
And before it became the next great yt sponsor... Ground.news . I've had it for like 4 years and it's refreshing ... I do miss the comments section but I also understand it was becoming a mess to moderate with their tiny team
Meteogram, super customizable weather app. The subscription or one-time-for-life-payment allows access to all paid weather providers that are currently implemented

Motioncam is an must have if your phone is powerful enough
RadarScope Pro is the first that came to my mind. I don't live in tornado country anymore, but got plenty of use out of it when I did
F-Droid image gallery. So many useful features, but I use it mostly for automatic galleries and metadata tagging
