For me, that would be Secure CRT. I have yet to find a terminal emulator that matches its feature set. If you regularly manage hundreds of machines using various connection protocols (serial and ssh mostly in my case) It's worth the $$$, and so far there hasn't been any subscription nonsense. I liked using it at work so much I forked over the dough to have it at home.

None of the free alternatives do everything I need.

I'll also mention a few iOS apps. One is Sun Surveyor. It's an AR app that shows you the position of the sun, moon, and galactic center at any given time. The other would have to be Radarscope. It's a weather radar app, but it's a really good weather radar app.

EDIT:

This one's debatable, but I use it all the time. Plasticity is 3D modelling software that attempts to bridge the gap between practical CAD programs and software meant for 3D artists like Blender. It's not cheap considering Blender is free, but it's buy once use forever, and at (I think) $150 it's within reach of an individual hobbyist who knows what they want and is willing to pay for it.

Excluding mobile apps that I've paid to make ad-free, there's only two that I'm subscribed to so I guess they're worth the money.

Other is Protonmail and other I wont tell.

MultiView on androidTV

it doesn't know the galactic center but otherwise check Trail Sense on f-droid. the astronomy tool has a 3d mode that shows where the sun and the moon is. oh it says there will be visible meteor showers in a few hours!

I’ll give a +1 to RadarScope; it’s by far the most useful radar app I’ve used. The only thing I’ve seen surpass it are desktop software, most of which is also paid like GRLevelX or products more oriented towards professional meteorologists (and most meteorologists I know from a past career in TV still seem to use RadarScope on their phones when they don’t have access to their more powerful software at work).
