Given I've never in my life paid for an Android or iOS app, it will be
interesting to see what apps people recommend that must be paid for, since
it's my current assessment that almost everything you want, will be free.

Sleep for Androids.

 I'm completely different than most people because I care to help, so you'll
almost never see me suggest an app without a URL to that app, not only
because I'm intelligent enough to know there are often duplicates, but also
because I'm compassionate enough to realize doing so helps others find it.
 Carlos is neither, but let's move forward and not let his rudeness stop us
from finding payware app functionality for Andy Burns that has no free APK.

Any intelligent Android user knows how to use the Play Store to search for applications, and any polite person will ask for further info if this is not enough, without insulting.
Sleep as Android from Petr Nálevka (Urbandroid)

You can read the comments by other users in Google Play and find out why this is a good app. And you can test it for free, for a limited time.

 Presumably that's an app functionality that's not free that is useful,
right? If so, then Andy Burns might want to know about it to buy it.
 As for me, I never heard of it, so allow me first to google what it does.
 I can't easily find in the first page of hits "Sleep FOR Android" but there
are plenty of hits for "Sleep AS Android", so I'll assume that's the app.
   "Sleep as Android enables you to use the phone's microphone and   speaker as a sonar (for range and movement detection using ultrasound)"
  <https://docs.sleep.urbandroid.org/sleep/sensors.html>

This one.

 But wait a minute... it's also for "sleep tracking" from the same app!
  "Sleep tracking is a way to objectively measure   the quality of your sleep."
  <https://docs.sleep.urbandroid.org/sleep/sleep_tracking.html>

Same one.
Notice that tracking does not imply sharing with the cloud. That part is voluntary.

 Since that's two completely different functionalities, and since I don't
want to waste my time finding the wrong app functionality, which is it?
 Which of the features are you suggesting Andy Burns would want to pay for?
Or were you thinking of a different app?
