And of course, you should install these from F-Droid, not Google Play

#3Can someone familiar with these make the case for why I should be using them (or at least one specific app in the suite)?

Why?

Seems like they cost money on Google. Are they free on F-Droid?
Edit: It seems like they are, but without the word "Pro" in the title. I can't figure out what makes any of them "Pro".
Edit 2: Nope, some of them say "Pro" on F-Droid, too. I guess it's just in the name. Weird.

AFAIK There's no paid apps on F-Droid, so it's likely that they are free.

#9I still have old Android phones that I'm not using because of outdated kernels/OS versions and their disadvantages in terms of vulnerabilities, but given the hardware is completely fine I would use them as offline general purpose tools if I had an easy way to install old store apps in them.
So does anybody know if there is perhaps an archive of old APK app files (old as in Android KitKat and earlier)?

#10I have used some of these on and off.
In general, they are simple and functional and seem to be well made and privacy respecting ... but they are only "free" if you don't mind the nag screen and the orange theme which can only be changed in the purchased version.
What I don't like about purchased apps is the fact that you have to pay again for every upgrade. And I have to pay twice since I use 2 phones --- one private and one for work.
