Here are a few of mine in no particular order:


Shush!

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.publicobject.shush (Probably one of my all time favorites and the first I put on any new phone for the last 6 or 8 years)


MultiTimer (paid version)

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.catfantom.multitimerfree (I'm a beta tester on the paid version and use it to time cooking, laundry or anything similar)


MyRadar (paid version)

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.acmeaom.android.myradar

(I've tried probably at least a dozen radar apps over the years and this is the best IMO)


Office Calculator Pro (paid version)

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.taobits.officecalculator.android.pro


Power Amp (paid version)

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.maxmpz.audioplayer (best music player app there is)


QuickShortcutMaker

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sika524.android.quickshortcut (One of the best apps to make shortcuts on your home screen for settings deep in the Android system.)


Smart Audiobook Player (paid version)

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ak.alizandro.smartaudiobookplayer (best audiobook player there is)


WordWeb

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.wordwebsoftware.android.wordweb (excellent offline dictionary which got its start as a PC program)
