Is there any app in the Samsung Galaxy Store worth the login requirements?
<https://i.postimg.cc/8C1wzk8r/galaxy01.jpg> No Galaxy AppStore Login

On principle, I don't have any mothership login on my phone (not to Google,
not to Samsung, not to Facebook, not to any mothership) and, as far as I
know, my phone works just fine.

This avoidance of mothership logins, of course, is based on my assumption
of how leaky computers are in terms of privacy & security.

As far as I know, my phone works fine without any login to any specific
repository, as I have hundreds of installed apps at any given time, some of
which I consider to be the finest apps ever made (e.g., Akon AppManager,
Aurora Store, Cellular-Z, DevCheck, Keepass2AndroidPasswordSafe, Lexa
FakeGPS, NetGuard, NewPipe, Nova Launcher, OSMAnd~, SatStat, Star Chart,
Tor Browser Bundle, Ungoogled Chromium, WebDav Server, etc.).

However, since I don't have any login to the Samsung Galaxy App Store
mothership servers, I wouldn't know if there were any kick-ass utilities
that I might want that are ONLY found in the Samsung Galaxy App Store.

Are there any apps you find only in the Galaxy Store that are worth the
inevitable privacy loss of the mothership login requirements?
