I want some suggestions for good paid apps. Are there any that you use a lot and are well worth the money? Thanks :)
 
I am not interested in games. More like productivity, utilities, news readers, etc.
 
I use Titanium Backup a lot since I like switching roms. That app is a must and worth the price. I also like Root Explorer. Asphalt 8 is a nice arcade racing game.

I'd take this opportunity to encourage people who enjoy a free app to pay for the ad-free app, or just donate some money to the developer if they give the option. It's usually only $1-2, and it'll help that dev out, and hopefully motivate him or her to keep making more apps that you'll like.
 
Stuff I use that are paid:

Apex Launcher (also used ADW Ex and LauncherPro), AirDisplay, App Protector Pro, SmartKeyboard Pro, Swype, HD Widgets (used to use Beautiful Widgets), IM+ Pro, Glowfly (though doesn't seem to work with Handcent SMS), Pure Calendar and Pure Message widgets, SwitchPro, WidgetLocker, Winput (remote mouse/keyboard for my HTPC), Tapatalk 4, Your Magnifier Pro and a few others.

Yeah I bought a bunch of live wallpapers from Kittehface, that guy made great stuff.
 
The ones I've paid for are: Tasker, the joaomgcd "Auto" plug-ins for Tasker, iSyncr, WidgetLocker and I'm considering FolderSync.
 
If you like to listen to podcasts on your device, PocketCasts is a must buy app, it is amazing. It is a little spendy ($5 if I remember correctly), but it is the best podcast app in the market. They have their own servers that update the podcasts you listen too, so when you launch the app (or at the time you schedule), the app only has to call into one server to update all your podcasts. The end result of this is that you can see all the new podcasts you have in the time most apps would take to show you just one. You can also schedule automatic checking and downloads (over wifi only or wifi or cellular) based on time (mine updates and downloads at 12:01 AM every day). Basically, it is an awesome podcast app if you listent to lots of podcasts.

Another great paid app is Nova Launcher Pro. My favorite home screen replacement on Android. Every time I explore a new one, I always come back to Nova.

Helium backup is my backup app of choice, and going for the pro one enables you to back up to the cloud, which is nice since backups can eat up quite a bit of storage on your phone. It works without root, but is better with root. I used to use Titainum, but I like that I can use Helium without root (can't do that with Titanium), and that alone makes it a better recomendation than Titanium.

I have quite a few other paid apps, but these are my favorites and the ones I use most regularly.

Tesla makes some good stuff, but I wasn't feeling it with Nova Launcher, there was something about it that was missing so I settled with Apex Launcher when shopping for a new launcher after using ADW Ex and LauncherPro (those two has fallen behind).

PS- I forgot to mention CircleLauncher and WaveLauncher for paid apps that I have, I don't use them t hat much anymore but used to before on a screen with no dock and a bunch of widgets. Too bad FolderOrganizer is a bit dated now. Edit- also forgot Plex, no need to fill your phone with music when you can just listen to it through a laptop or PC hooked on your network.
