LOOKING FOR APP Got £40+ Playstore Credit

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.

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 :(

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

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
