I'm back! This is a continuation of my series on platform-specific hidden gem apps that you have discovered that are the best in their class for your usecase.

We've done iOS+MacOS so far so lets get universal and share our Android hidden gems.

For mine, I would say NewPipe for YouTube... Lets do it!

Edit: Please try to avoid apps that cannot be purchased (subscription apps) since it is important that the creator cannot cut you off once you've taken time/effort/money to integrate it into your workflow and dependance. No Apollos, which have that fatal flaw + relying on an external API that they additionally cannot gurantee

Not sure how "hidden" these are, but they can be really useful

"AMdroid" by Smart Alarm Clock Team (Higley-configurable alarm clock with different alarm profiles, options for a post-alarm confirmation, and dismiss challenges)

"Engineering Converter Plus" by thermofluids.net (Has every unit conversion I've ever needed without needing to be online - Free version avaliable)

"Network Analyzer" by Jiri Techet (Good for helping to find the best spot/s for a wireless router or access point)

"Oldschool Editor : Text Editor" by AbhishekPandey (A no nonsense text editor)

"Unseen - No Last Seen" by Firehawk (Good to help look through message spam without alerting the spammer with a read receipt that your account is active)

Aha, don't take it too seriously/literally, the point is to share apps that might not be super well-known or blockbuster-status that are nevertheless useful and hopefully purchaseable. I should edit the description.
