Templar Battleforce is a great little turn based strategy game with a squad of persistent troops fighting across missions.
- Password Safe Pro
- My Expenses
- FL Studio, formerly Fruity Loops (also: Desktop)
- Threema
- Through the Ages (boardgame adaption)
Otherwise, I usually prefer free open source solutions (FDroid), but I regularly donate to keep the projects alive. 1 and 2 are small dev studios that I am happy to support.
Fx file manager. if you do file management locally or want to access SMB share content , cloud, bluetooth etc, this app ia awesome.
I love it but I can feel it getting neglected with each Android update.
The worst for me was transferring a video to a computer using the FX Web feature and discovering it silently truncated the video..... when it was already too late.....

MiXplorer - https://mixplorer.com/
A file explorer allowing for me to transfer files over the network. When Solid Explorer suddenly didn't seem to want to do network transfers anymore (likely because Windows updated something), I waited for that app to update to fix the issue. It never did. I found that MiXplorer was a good alternative that transfers files over the network just fine and works nice and fast as well. The interface takes a bit to get used to (meaning it isn't the same as Solid Explorer) but the app is certainly worth using. Importantly, I can transfer files over the network without issue again.
Notably, this app is free to download (from XDA) however the Google Play version is not free. The Google Play version (which supports development) is a one time paid fee.
If you're a fan of customization and getting your home screen just how you like it, KLWP and Nova Prime.
Nova Prime is a launcher with a bunch of customization options for how your app drawer works, how apps are laid out, how big they are, how folders look, etc. I use it for the fact that i can set folders to have the icon of the first app inside, and a gesture so that tapping them opens that app, while swiping up opens the folder.
KLWP is essentially Rainmeter for Android.
the Niagara launcher is still the only app I've bought on Play Store, and I've been very happy with it for maybe 5-6 years now
Threema.
Neutron music player.
FairEmail.
Square Home.
I know the Windows Phone experiment failed but it was my first smartphone that I bought and not just inherited my dad's work-iPhone when it became deprecated. I really love the "live tile" type home screen and Square Home improves on it as well, instead of just carbon copying it.
Other than that, the FUTO keyboard / voice input and Grayjay, although these three technically offer a lifelong free testing period, similar to WinRAR, but even less obnoxious because they don't even remind you that they want you to pay for them.
