Modern applications are increasingly moving to a shareware distribution model. To access all features, they usually ask you to subscribe or watch a bunch of ads. But it’s often easier to pay once and no longer worry about any intricacies. We’ve collected apps for the iPhone that you wouldn’t mind spending money on – both for everyday tasks and for creativity. The selection even includes games.
