What are your iOS hidden gem apps (lemmy.world)

Preferably lesser known but game-changing apps that are able to be bought one-time and put all others to shame.

To help clarify your thinking, which apps have produced such an outrageous level of value (regardless of one-time cost) to the extent you believe it should be #1 in its category, not necessarily #1 app ever.

We'll do a seperate thread for Mac, Windows, Linux, Android, etc but let's stick to iOS for this one. Thanks Lemmings!

Vinegar. It’s a safari extension that changes the YT player into the stock iPhone one and skips ads. Well worth the one time purchase!

Omg! I’m downloading this now. I already use YouTube via safari instead of the YouTube app.

Just bought it too! Thanks for the recommendation! I got the bundle with baking soda, have you used that as well?

I thought Craig was just being weird, but the Fizzy Water bundle includes Vinegar and Baking Soda, a companion app that makes a similar change to (allegedly all) other sites that have custom video players.

EDIT: I’m now realizing Craig said that, like, four times. What the fuck, Craig.

Yeah I’ve tried baking soda out. It’s handy but I seem to just stick to YT so use vinegar more. Absolutely brilliant apps
