Personally paid for Niagara launcher as I find that to be the far superior launcher to any other I’ve tried. My second one is Symfonium, the most feature rich and well developed audio player.
What are yours?

What are these “paid” android apps you speak of?
What do you mean?
Just being silly. I don’t think I have any apps I’ve paid for.
Used to be the case for me too. But recently discovered that paid apps generally is much better polished, feature rich and ad+tracking free. That at least for me makes it more interesting paying for apps.
Checking in with my regularly scheduled F-Droid superiority post. Free, feature-rich, and no ads/trackers.
In all seriousness though, there are a lot of great FOSS apps on the stock repos and the IzzyOnDroid repos. Auxio (mp3 player) and Breezy Weather are probably my favorites at the moment.
I bought blackplayer EX a while ago because it was a great music player but now it seems to be abandonded with the last update being a year ago and I have started encountering some issues.
Poweramp still going strong ten years later.
Poweramp, IMO the UX is excellent and it has tons of powerful features. No other music player I’ve tried comes close.
Sirin audiobook reader.
Niagara (on pixel).
The only paid app that I have is Moon+ Reader Pro.
I read a boatload of ebooks on my device, and this has been my ebook-reader of choice for a while. I found it to be so good that I did the IAP, and stopped using Librera Reader.
For all that matters, I am a huge supporter of FOSS apps (that’s the reason I have only one paid app lol) - but Moon+ reader Pro beats Librera in two areas - Librera is pretty slow when it tries to open a huge file, and Librera also can’t download book covers like Moon+ does.
An oldie but a goodie.
it was nova launcher pro till they fucked the dev team down to 1 dev who does everything so I moved to lawn chair because I can’t trust that the project is going to stay alive.
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.
ISS detector pro
Unified remote. WiFi or Bluetooth control over any win/Linux/Mac machine with many remotes and incredible functionality.
RealCalc
It’s a really nice calculator.
I have this one. It’s the best Android calculator I’ve used.
I love the widget feature. You can add a whole calculator to your home screen, I have it taking up my second page, so whenever I need a calculator I swipe across once and it’s there.
The Royal Spanish Academy’s dictionary, most likely. While I can easily have conversations in Spanish, the similarities with my mother language every once in a while make me get words confused, specially in conjugation (why does B and V need to sound so similar…). I’ve had it for a while, and although it was a bit pricey, it has saved me quite a few times from awkward mix ups. Also bonus points for working completely offline (looking at you, Yomiwa dictionary…), and having no problems being sideloaded into vanilla Android systems.
Tasker. Pretty much programming your Android to automate things. Such a powerful app.
I got recommended Macrodroid, so I’m going to try that as well as a comparison for my needs
I have purchased both. I prefer Tasker but not as many things work as in Macrodroid in Android 14. So a big +1 for Macrodroid from me.
FX as an explorer replacement when Xiaomi put pubs in theirs.
You have a free version too, I don’t even use the “pro” stuff just wanted to contribute.
