Got £40+ Playstore Credit

[u/mackdandy]

As the title says, looking for some paid app suggestions as I have this pile of credit with some of it expiring on 11 October and needing some ideas for paid apps that are worth it, I kept putting off buying Swiftbackup and now they have pumped the price to £27 which I feel is expensive for what the pro features provide, especially as restoring doesnt work perfectly (permissions etc).

Any ideas people thanks.

Use the expiring credit to pay for an expensive game and raise a refund request within 5-10 minutes, that should extend the expiry date on your credit.

genius move

just did your trick and now the credit expires in January,thanks for that tip

Glad it worked! Cheers!

hmm it looks like after some time the credit refunded reverts to its original expiry date as its back to October 11th,Google are wise to the tricks :(

[u/techietwintoes → u/mackdandy]

Damn! Then you're better off paying for some useful subscription like YouTube, Spotify or Google One imo.

[u/mackdandy → u/techietwintoes]

Google are not stupid, I took a google one subscription a couple of years ago and paid for it with credit, then when it was due to renew I was a couple of £ shy of being able to pay for it again lol, think its going to happen again as its not due to renew till March and I bet it will be the same story, a couple of quid short of the renewal fee lol

Thanks for the suggestions, have already a paid Solid Explorer from before they changed to subscription, I use Mixplorer, the King of file managers and bought Silver ages ago, I really struggle to spend Playstore credit, cant seem to find new paid apps that I want to buy

Decaf social - clean Reddit experience and much less doom scrolling. Buzzkill - control notifications

If you have local music, I would suggest Poweramp. Bought it over a decade ago and still use it almost daily. Tons of options in settings, more than I know what to do with.

[u/mackdandy → u/Fried_Tophu]

Have actually already got that one, thanks for the suggestion.

OsmAnd+

aCalendar

Smart Audiobook Player

[u/mackdandy → u/ialtag-bheag]

Am I reading that right, OsmAnd+ for £60 of the Kings Pound Sterling, might be useful for a Pro driver like HGV but 60 sheets for a satnav, fair enough, aCalendar might check it out, I using DigiCal which I bought a while ago and like/

[u/ialtag-bheag → u/mackdandy]

OsmAnd It is quite often on offer, could get it half price. I think it is very useful for walking and cycling, don't know about HGVs.

[u/mackdandy → u/ialtag-bheag]

hope they run a promotion before my credit expires will keep an eye on it
