Preferably lesser known but game-changing apps that are able to be bought one-time and put all others to shame.

To help clarify your thinking, which apps have produced such an outrageous level of value (regardless of one-time cost) to the extent you believe it should be #1 in its category, not necessarily #1 app ever.

We'll do a seperate thread for Mac, Windows, Linux, Android, etc but let's stick to iOS for this one. Thanks Lemmings!

Vinegar. It’s a safari extension that changes the YT player into the stock iPhone one and skips ads. Well worth the one time purchase!

Omg! I’m downloading this now. I already use YouTube via safari instead of the YouTube app.

Just bought it too! Thanks for the recommendation! I got the bundle with baking soda, have you used that as well?

I thought Craig was just being weird, but the Fizzy Water bundle includes Vinegar and Baking Soda, a companion app that makes a similar change to (allegedly all) other sites that have custom video players.

EDIT: I’m now realizing Craig said that, like, four times. What the fuck, Craig.

My app glitched. Kept saying my comment failed to post

Yeah I’ve tried baking soda out. It’s handy but I seem to just stick to YT so use vinegar more. Absolutely brilliant apps
