Great with such considered response so far.

Sure, *how* I do go about my business is more important than my
tools. Finding myself with a pocket-sized computer with more power
than the computers I learned F77 on back in 1980 had, I thought it
would be a shame not to utilize it and since I am somewhat new to
apps I thought I'd better ask.

I will give Fast Notepad a spin. One reviewer even states it is much
better than what my device comes with :-)

Unit Converter by Wopnersoft looks really promising. I have tried
Bosch's converter app. It is really clean and easy to use but also
quite limited.

Yes, a QR code reader can come in handy.

Adding an Office Suite is a secondary concern but I have made
a note of looking at WPS Office.

Some ideas of my own:

The calculator I have in mind is called Calculator++. I have
some experience of it already and it is impressive. Not RPN
though.

From windows I have some experience of CCleaner and I see there
is an Android version too. Since Dassault recommend CCleaner
in one of their marketing videos I guess it is not very likely
to be nefarious.

For data transfer/synchronising I consider using Syncthing found
at https://syncthing.net/ I have no experience of it but have
used BitTorrent's Syncapp with success.

A bit off-topic but I think it could interest some of you:

You can use it to look up words, ask if 553 is prime, compare
Italy's and Sweden's coast lines....
