What apps have you found worth it to buy?

I've paid for the following, which I've found well worth their cost to purchase.

Unified Remote
Office Calculator Pro
IRC for Android
Tasker
Moon Reader Pro
Camera Zoom FX Premium

Youo are telling me you seriously paid for these?

Nova prime
Poweramp

That is all.

Iv bought a few things over the years, none of which was particularly worth it.

It was either just a matter of convience, pure lazyness, stupidity or feature lust.

If you have something I want and it costs under $2 I may buy it if im in the right mood or need it enough at that exact moment.
>>
>>55013095
Have you ever tried IRC for Android?

Try all the free IRC clients, then try IRC for Android. It's one of the BEST IRC clients I've ever used.
>>
>>55013120
Oh shit, forgot about Nova Prime. Probably the most used app I've ever purchased.
>>
just get Google rewards, every month you'll have like 10 bucks to spend on the store, never have to pay for anything, also I really like the Tabs app for guitar music, only paid 3 bucks for it
>>
>>55013224
Requires GPS and Google location history to be turned on to get any real benefit from it. Without I get 1 survey every 2 weeks at best.
>>
>>55013224
$10 bucks every month from Google Rewards? Son what you smoking?

I've been answering Google Rewards surveys for 2 years, and made a total of about $20.
>>
>>55012936
Nova Launcher and Poweramp
>>
>>55013273
I dunno what to tell you, it will give you more less surveys depending on how you answer and it'll test you to see if you're just randomly hitting choices. I legit get like 5-10 bucks a month

theres alot to what decides if you get surveys and how much the reward is.

if you are not the right gender and race youll get less than others.

if you answer a survey honestly and pick something like "no i dont own this ,etc" they aill cut you off and give you the lowest reward

>What apps have you found worth it to buy?

Just jailbreak your phone and pirate apps so you can save your money to buy a real phone instead of a buggy autism communicator

I'd even buy apps if they were bound to the account instead of the device and could be reinstalled even after a system restore

Easy Voice Recorder Pro is the best audio recorder for Android that I've found. I downloaded it illegally, but I would recommend that if you care about audio recording feature. It continually checks for a license without paying otherwise and occasionally deliberately bugs out.

All-In-One Toolbox Pro and SD Maid Pro are also candidates.

But for the most part, maybe all, Android apps can be downloaded for free. No need for paying.
>>
>>55013049

>>55014220
What about the default recorder?
>>
>>55014233
This is better designed and has crucial features. Saves the date (2016-06-10_21-24-40.wav), allows to save aiff and other formats, shows a spectrograpm as recording, you can listen back to the recording once recorded, append additional audio to the recording, rename move copy et cetra. Just looks nicer. MIUI is a good FOSS alternative. But this is that bit better. The non-Pro version is fine, but lacks small additional features. I've tried many audio recorders and reckon this one is the best of the lot.

Those people must be retarted, or they foolishly created a new google account for every new device they purchased.

I NEVER had to re-purchase an app I paid for in order to use it on another device.

It'd pretty non-sense indeed. I guess they just created a new account each time. Maybe I'll buy something once in a while then, thank you

Yes it has.

Please post proof, i might buy it if it has evolved enough to have those features and sorting by album artist because Neutron UI is crap.

But that's an average graphic EQ not a parametric one, can you set a low-pass filter or change the curve of a frequency?

>>
>>55016542
its the only reason why i haven't gotten it
its nice to stream your pc playlist over to your phone
>>
>>55016522
It goes to a random person who repackaged busybox, not to the busybox developers.
>>
>>55016565
Why would you like to stream PC -> phone tho
>>
>>55016593
low storage on phone
have TB full of music on hd
>>
>>55016572
The version of BusyBox packaged with Chroma ROM is a few versions behind, I have to replace it every month when the security patches from Google come out. It's honestly just convenient to use the installer.
>>
>>55016613
And Neutron support it?
>>
>>55016593
Not him but you can save plenty of data by streaming Opus files in 90kbps or so.

Good quality better than deprecated mp3 and minimal file size, also by streaming your music it's your own library.

A pretty good alternative if your phone doesn't have storage.
>>
>>55016651
yes
there are few music players that support upnp
>bubbleupnp
free version can only make playlist with 16 songs
>foobar2k

Poweramp and MX Player

Plus a few games and shit over the years. Couple of old root apps for phones I no longer have, etc.

>>55012936
>Tasker
Runs my life. Very fun learning experience as well. If I had to pay $20 for it I'd pay it.

>Trigger
It's free but I bought the premium features way before I started using Tasker. Even if I use tasker now, it actually works very well together with it as it supports Tasker as well. User friendly, like IFTTT but local.

>Poweramp
>tfw you already bought it years ago before you learned you could just just use Viper4Android or whatever for system wide EQ but still love using it as your daily music player anyways

>Nova Prime
Why not, I use Nova Launcher as my primary launcher

>BetterBatteryStats
I needed to see wakelocks and services eating up my battery and those greedy fucks wanted money so I gave it to them, works great but really shouldn't cost money.

>Titanium Backup
Very useful for deleting/freezing bloat processes and backing up some essential app settings

>Sixaxis Controller
Greedy devs wanted money for essentially device drivers that work very well. Needed it for GearVR applications, bought with Google Rewards

>iSyncr
From a time when I had an iPod as a PMP and still used iTunes for music management. Works well, but I don't use it anymore. Still would recommend for anyone who still bothers using iTunes.
>>
>>55016948

>AlarmPad Pro
Only alarm clock app I've seen that integrates well with Tasker, forgot why I bought the pro version

I would say Nova Prime, Poweramp/Black Player and Solid Explorer, but they all have decent FreetardOSS alternatives.

Perhaps Tasker and Titanium Backup.

Anyone here pay for ricing instead of productivity and efficiency, and can recommend good shit? I got memed into buying TWO icon packs since I started using Android, and I dropped both of them because of missing icons. At least it costs chump change.
