August is a lazy month so lets make a poll of some sort.
You get to have one native app that you will pay 10 euros (or the equivalent in your local currency) for. What is it.
Rules:
One answer per person and only one app.
Must be something not having to do with the core os.
Separate answers so others can upvote/downvote.

Native navigation for professional transports
Offline route planning and navigation adapts to limitations in length, height and weight of the vehicle.
Realtime weather forecasts for the route are available during planning and navigation.
The software keeps track of driver rules for sleep, breaks and more, even during route planning.
Audio notifications can be transferred to a bluetooth headset.
Multiple routes can be planned in advance and recalled from memory.
Companions
There are additional apps that improve vehicle safety and driver comfort. These companions are not part of the Helm navigation software, but the multitasking capabilities of Sailfish OS allows these companions to run simultaneously with the Helm navigation.
Messages about traffic is supplied by the media player (from FM radio).
DashCam functionality (with GPS location) is supplied by the camera app.
Inclinometry apps are available for downloading.

Spotify (official native) 2016-11-20 edit: this is even more important now after spotify dropped support for cutespot's library or something like that. cutespot doesnt sync anymore and developement is now stopped. spotify is industry standard and needs an official release on sailfish.
Wot, cutespot already exists... and I use it many times a week when I go on long bicycle trips... four-and-a-half hours yesterday for example....
And I'd pay for it but the darn developer does not accept paypal donations, I have asked him! :(
(edit:)
OH! I just checked and there is a paypal link! Have to go immediately and donate!

Tidings. There's no native 3rd party app I use more often. (And I remember how much I missed a native RSS reader when there was none.)

Also would like to see good editor for text files (qml, conf etc...) with integrated Network connection (sftp, ftp etc...) to easily edit files from one jolla device on another (also as root), for example edit files from Jolla phone on Jolla Tablet... For now I use andoid DroidEdit Pro app (paid), but prefer native apps... Yes, we can do it via terminal with "vi", I know.. But it less convenient, for me at least...
@schturman, hook a BT keyboard it will be more decent by all means.
piero ( 2016-08-25 23:31:08 +0300 )editthere already is a great native editor out there is use all the time: TinyEdit
Improvements though could be start in root mode, it should also be possible to mount amd login to an online ftp or sft server and create a symlink to your home or nemo folder, which then could also be opened by TinEdit, might want to check out Linux scripts or commands that could do this?!

I'd pay €10,- (even more) to have a "hub" like BB10 has containing all communications (e-mail, messages, etc), preferably as a super app (as I understand it, a super app adds a third "main" screen).
I understand this is somewhat like the notifications screen, though it is/was much more convenient (as one could not only read anything from there but also reply without actually opening the individual apps).

Full functional and full featured Exchange Active Sync (EAS) that supports Contacts, Calendar and Tasks... This would also include a working app to handle tasks... A fully working app is worth paying 10 bucks in my opinion...

(!!!!! Update Alien Dalv to 8.x €40 !!!!!).
I would prefer paying for native app and get rid of Android stuff but when you look at WhatsApp a native App will not be made because WA doesn't want it to happen (look at mitakulu, whatsup et al)

Spoken from an end-user perspective: Calendar App - Local Calendar App that allows synchronising with local Outlook Calendar as well as adding calendars. - All without using cloud-services like google. - I´d probably even pay more than 10 EUR for that.
The current calendar app syncs just fine with CalDAV and SyncML. No googles needed.

DarkTuring ( 2016-11-08 03:50:49 +0300 )editInteresting poll. Looking to the (far) future it may even be that native apps (on Android, iOS and Windows) will lose importance and be replaced by so called "progressive web apps": Native Apps are Doomed
Progressive web apps will strengthen Sailfish OS as more and more companies will start to provide browser-based applications instead of native. This may sound like utopia to you now, but the process has already started. So it seems that an awesome (native!) browser will be the most important app for the future of Sailfish OS. The linked article is a good starting point to create your first progressive web app (don't forget to test it on Sailfish OS!). Or try out some progressive web apps now: https://pwa.rocks/
StaticNoiseLog ( 2016-11-17 12:47:10 +0300 )editI think this should be a Wiki post.
magullo ( 2018-03-29 16:48:03 +0300 )editThis is other thing than paying. Jolla should give an alternative method (i.e connmanctl) to be used e.g. with Situations app in addition to totally block connmanctl in e.g. Situations for wifi, bt and flight mode. Thus we as users could choose with our own risks. Let me say, this should be worth 10 euros or a pint of beer.
