Android apps introduced by what they are for, and how closely they stick to it.
An app that tries to be everything usually does one thing well and ten things poorly. Useful on Purpose begins with the intended purpose and then checks whether the app respects it.
The app does what it says, keeps extras out of the way and does not wander into unrelated features just to look busy. A narrow scope done well is a strength here, not a limit.
Every page is generated beforehand and delivered as a static file, which keeps things quick and keeps this site true to its own purpose.

Imitations of another developer's app, versions with paid features opened up without permission, and anything using a name it has not earned fall outside our scope entirely.
Useful on Purpose is written by a few people who prefer tools with an obvious reason to exist over ones that keep adding features nobody asked for.
When an app drifts away from its purpose, its page is revised to say so, or taken down if the drift goes too far.
A tool that does one thing on purpose is worth more than ten that do everything by accident.
Useful on Purpose is operated by Celnet Technology Hong Kong, Hong Kong.
