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:

For online and offline GPS I love OSMAnd+ since it has AndroidAuto support and tons of other features.

I think it's one of those apps where the full version is free on F-Droid https://f-droid.org/packages/net.osmand.plus/

For those taking this route: do note that the map data is downloaded from their servers. So don't forget to make a small donation to offset the server costs if you are able to!

You can get it free if you use F-droid!

It is called OSMAnd~ on F-Droid. It does not have support for AndroidAuto. I ended up buying the licensed version for that and to support the devs.
