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:

What do you like about it that can't be done with e.g. Simple File Manager?

I will say the Cloud storage integration looks nice.

Honestly, Simple File Manager is a bit better then I remembered. But here are some, in order of how much they matter to me.

  • As you said, browsing network shares.
  • Fast filtering in addition to recursive search.
  • Selective file extracting from archives.
  • Checksums in formats aside from md5.

Amaze checks some of these boxes, but I find it kind of buggy.

Those are good features. Thanks, I'll check it out!
