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?

Titanium Backup hasn't been updated in five years, and I think that update was just to meet requirements to stay on the store. Their last changelog entry is adding the menu icon after Android ditched the physical menu button. There are a bunch of settings that are broken or do nothing due to changes to Android over the decades (TB has been around for so long that it supports Android 1.5).

I've been using Swift Backup as a replacement these past few years. It's closed source but was recommended to me, and I haven't run into any problems yet. Is Neo better in some way, aside from being FOSS?

I've heard of Swift Backup but never tried it because I think it was paid or automatic backups were a paid feature or something. But for my simple needs Neo Backup has been perfect.

Yeah, it's twelve bucks to unlock scheduled backups and cloud syncing in Swift Backup, but then again this post is about paid apps. :)

Which is perfectly fair. I just tend to be stingy about paying for apps when there's a free one that does what I need.

Nothing wrong with paying for something that's worth it, though.
