Minecraft Bedrock.

Playing Slay the Spire.

It does have a native Linux version but it doesn't sync cross-platform. So since I like playing on the go it is nice to also be able to play at home on a bigger screen.

The only way I can know the monthly rent amount, is through an Android app.

if you want netflix witjh DRM stuff like offline downloads waydroid can do it I think via the android app..
You need to use a waydroid-utils script to install "widevine" for drm.
This is a solution i've tested for someone else not me;
I think it works, but it's not been rigorouly road tested.

Posssibly other DRM services will work if you can tolerate that type of thing.

My guess is that the main use for it is android app development and testing.

Reminds me that my daughter wanted to play Toca Life World on her PC. So I guess I would use it for that. As soon as I have the energy to do it.

Android does have lots of games, and some apps that aren't as easy to use, or as good as in native linux. For example, some painting apps (krita is powerful, but can also overwhelm someone), video editors like capcut or lumafusion, audio apps. For most of everything else, there is a web browser on linux that can do the job better probably, and native apps. But overall, I'd say that Android apps aren't really that useful on linux, because they're mostly geared towards apps that you use on the go, while you usually sitting on a chair at home or work when you're using linux. To be honest, most native apps now have been replaced by a web browser, so either native linux or native android apps are only useful for high end professional usages (e.g. blender, video editing, etc) rather than everyday use.

Definitely not to have android apps on a Linux tablet, because in-waydroid rotation doesn't work, and rotating the tablet itself breaks the windowing system until you reboot the container. Issue first reported in 2021.

I use it for some banking apps and online shops that require the android app for using coupons.

The only thing I can truly think of is Signal. If there was a native Gtk app for signal that was near feature complete I would probably ditch Android altogether. Maybe OSMAnd~, but that's a nice to have.

2FA app, in my case aegis, and a few games

People with linux phones use it to run android apps: Signal because using electron is worse than waydroid for battery life, banking apps, bullshit government apps without web versions, etc. It's terrible for battery life, but it works.

Ive thought about using it for bank apps so I dont have hassle if I lose the phone or it gets robbed. Has anyone tried this ?

Using the Apple Music client

Used to use it for Apple Music but Cider 2 does what I want now, especially since Apple started locking down AM on rooted devices (of which Waydroid basically is) for no good reason.

Honestly: I cannot have the Instagram app on my phone (both for privacy and for addiction) - I have it installed on Waydroid and the fact that it works like 50% of the way keeps me from using it more than a couple times a week.

Lotta people in here saying what they use it for, but the only ppl I know irl running waydroid are playing softcore gatcha games on it.

I haven't gotten to it, but I'd like to try and set it up as an android TV replacement. Just have distro of choice load on boot with Bluetooth remote/controller for input

I wonder if Pokemon Go would work on waydroid...

I use it to run the Sky App to stream football.

The only options are a windows app or an android app (since you can't watch in the browser) and I couldn't get the windows app to work with WINE.

The android app runs fairly well with waydroid, although it occasionally runs into some hiccups.

Does it still run Roblox? Since it stopped working under wine (again) I read it was the only way to get Roblox on Linux.

You already answered this in your question description :) With a touchscreen laptop and Linux and WayDroid you can have a Linux tablet. (Unfortunately (?) the choice of a DeGoogle ROM for Android tablets is minimal and you never know when the ROM developer will buy a new phone, change their life priorities and drop the ROM development) Compared to an Android phone you'd have a much larger screen. What do I use WayDroid for personally ? Just to test some programs, to see what's new in F-Droid, and sometimes use LibreTube.
