[Q] Must have apps - Galaxy Note 4 General

So, as I said earlier, I'm changing from iOS (today, hopefully).
Some of you have been playing with your note 4 for a bit now.
What are the must have apps for you?

Dropbox , rar , sketbook for galaxy , kingsoft office , some google app, facebook, twiter, 9GAG, more and more
Open your google play store and find out my friend

Evernote now seems to have great support for the S Pen

Feedly is good if you read the same pages day after day - with Feedly you can save time because it gathers headers from the pages you choose and allows you to quickly go through them and only read those that are interesting.

What do you use yout tablet for?

Was interested in seeing what everyone does with their tablets as i feel im not using my to full potential.
I mainly use mine for searching net, reading websites, watching Youtube, check emails and twitter reading a paper or mag and maybe the odd game.
Thats about it for the most part.
what else can it be used for?
i use mine for:
- taking notes (asus super note)
- capturing my ideas (adobe collage)
- reading books (ezpdf reader, polaris office)
- learning french (about 13 different dictionaries and conjugation apps)
- searching and surfing the web (firefox, opera mini)
- checking forums (xda premium hd, tapatalk hd)
- reading Quran (Quran android)
- messaging
- email
- maps (i travel a lot these days)
- camera (don't judge me )
- watching movies and tv shows (mx video player)
- music (play music)
- games (cut the rope, angry birds, fruit ninja thd)
and just for the sake of using it to full potential i sometimes hit my sister with it or use it as a japanese hard pillow.
Is Asus Supernote the same as The Supernote that's already on the Tablet?
If not can you link me to it please.
Thanks
Pretty much everything! Moved from iPad to this and because of the extra openness I rarely use my Mac or PC when I'm not working now... Some things I use it for:
Portfolio - Displays my graphic design work
Perfect photo viewer
Kindle (Best e-Reader, you can give it it's own brightness etc.)
Social hub (Seriously, Samsung Social Hub is one of the best social network aggregators I've seen, works especially well in portrait)
Skype (Seriously try this, the future is here guys, Star Trek ain't got nothing on Android!!)
Magazines (Zinio lets you subscribe to magazines, save the paper etc.)
It has replaced my newspapers (I'm all digital now, I just read the news sites/apps)
Gaming (Makes a great little games console, never going to live up to an Xbox or PlayStation but it certainly gives portable stuff like PSP and DS a run for its money with the big screen and very affordable games!)
Games console emulators
Evernote
"Cracked!" Reader app (very magazine-ish in portrait mode)
Comic books
Radio & podcasts (Great broadband radio apps, good speakers, win!)
Route planning on Google Maps
TV/Movies when away from home (As long as there's wi-fi, Netflix works great, if not, I stock it up with some films)
Development (I am an iOS and Android developer)
Things I DON'T use it for:
Writing on this forum - the browser seems to have a tendency to just stop working if I try to send a relatively long post on this forum and some others, not sure if its my network, the browsers or the device.
Music - My iPhone does the music bit, and 16GB with no SD slot is pushing it a little with music.
Instant messaging - Mobile OS multitasking isn't ready for IM, it really needs to be something you keep present on the screen no matter what you're doing the way you can on a Mac or a Windows computer with a good sized screen. I'd use it for IM if Samsung had made a TouchWiz overlay IM program like they have with their calculator, calendar etc., but switching to and from IM+ just isn't versatile enough.
isnt adobe collage like 15$?
An interesting post as I think the tablet form factor is not being used to its full potential.
For me surfing and reading the two biggest uses as with everyone else.
Other uses for me:
- Home media player with HDTV connector. MK video player plays more formats than Xbox or PS3 and easier to connect than laptop. I use ES explorer to connect and stream to NAS.
- Microsoft Instant Messenger (try Office talk). Great when not in front of work laptop. Can use any IM really and saves you firing up computer.
- Have tried VNC and Teamviewer. Need to setup static IP but useful if in other room. Contemplating whether to leave work laptop on all day and just vnc.
- Highly recommend installing Overskreen Browser. Useful browser which acts as a separate window on top of what you are doing. Combine this with a web app and you have a second reference window. For example, check address while on Google maps.
- I have Documents to Go so can open all Microsoft word, excel, PowerPoint via Dropbox account. Still won't replace working on desktop as not all features are enabled, like pivot tables in excel or transitions in PowerPoint. This is still for reference and look up.
I've tried note taking but quicker to write out notes. For this size, an active digitizer would be the killer app.
Interested in what other people do as well.

- Browsing mainly and reading news via Pulse. And Facebooking and IM'ing a lot.
- Sending links to my PC via 2SendTab when needed (music or videos from Youtube or stuff I need to look at the next morning)
- Remoting into my PC via PhoneMyPC (the best remote app out there) and doing pretty much everything from my bed. LOL.
When I'm not programming at home, I'm pretty much on the tablet all the time and my PC turns into my home cinema and that's it. I would gladly stop using it alltogether as long as Photoshop and other productivity tools were available on Android (which I hope soon).
i don't think you're supposed to have a supernote *already* on the tablet unless you have a transformer prime.
check this post, it's really useful:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1204931
and no. adobe touch apps are all less than 10 bucks.
i don't mind other apps. just adobe collage gave me the feeling that i would enjoy using it.
also adobe photoshop touch was good. but it's nothing compared to the pc version and i wouldn't use my tab for photo editing.
I keep noticing people referring to Tapatalk HD on this forum, but I can never find an HD version, just a nasty stretched out mobile app. I used to use the HD version on iPad so I'd love to have it on my tab... Where are you guys getting it??
I use my tab mainly for browsing and checking email. playing games and watching streaming footy in the bed.

using it as a car front end looks really awesome if you have 3g/4g
-General web/social uses
-Making small changes to websites I manage (Droid Edit Pro)
-Reading (kindle or ez pdf reader)
-Gaming (Android games and n64oid)
-Blogging (write in google docs then post from pc...blogger's app is terrible and the website is bad on mobile devices)
-Music (Google Music)
-GoogleTV remote
-Google+ Hangouts
-Netflix while laying in bed.
I use mine for the following:
- Ordering takeout (especially dominos making your own pie is great)
- Making online purchases like Ebay & Amazon. (Paypal is great)
- Reading (Magazines, XDA, Manga, Pulse)
- Watching videos (streaming media, anime, youtube)
- Location services (maps, train maps & timetables)
- Gaming
There is an increasing number of tablet friendly(customized) apps that make things very easy. I am sure i use it for more but can't think of them all.

I use my tab for a variety of purposes, most of which are mentioned in others' posts. Mainly it's a great tool for consuming the information & entertainment on the Internet. Although some strides are being made in productivity (e.g. Adobe touch apps), tablets still come nowhere close to the capability of a desktop for work.

What's in this version:
You now have the Installed and All tabs you can swipe between. The former one is what we used to have before - it lists all apps installed on your device. The latter lists all apps you've ever installed in case you want to download them again or travel down the memory lane. This is quite handy, and I've seen this list before in the Play Store on the web, so it's great to get it here in the mobile app.
The All tab contains a handy dropdown with all your accounts (if you added more than one) and lets you switch between them very easily (as opposed to clicking Menu, etc).
A few of the stock apps that apparently never got linked to the Play Store before got identified and picked up this time, and updates to them were waiting for me when I fired the Store up. I've complained about this very bug in my last rant, and it looks like someone listened.

Hi,
I send PM to you.
OK. Thread closed.
If you want to coopereate, please end me a message and I will add some additional posts

What do you use your Nexus 5 for on a daily basis?

Hopefully I've put this in the right section, as I believe the questions sections is for help requests rather than general survey style questions (eg the What are you running on your N5 thread).
Anyway, I'm sure we use our phones for a lot more than calling and texting, so post what you use your device for!
Here's some of the things my phone helps me with:
Reminders (Google keep/now, they should be integrated) - I have horrible memory so these help heaps
Timetable (Google Calendar) - use the lock screen widget so I just swipe to see what classes I have
Homework/tasks (Google keep)
Social networking (Fb, telegram, Instagram, snapchat etc)
Media (YouTube, MX player, Vines, Unis video player, uListen)
Tracking food intake (My fitness pal)
Alarm (Alarmpad)
Taking photos of documents and things on the board (Camscanner - highly recommend)
Syncing all my school work that I do on my home computer in case I forget to sync my school laptop before leaving as cloud storage is blocked (Google Drive/Bittorrent Sync)
Browsing XDA/reddit (Tapatalk/Reddit Sync)
That's all I can think of for now, your turn!

Google+, Hangouts, Flipboard, Sunrise calendar, YouTube, XDA, Instagram Facebook etc.
No particular order
Sent from my PARANOID Nexus 5 with Franco r39 powered by ART.
goes on the Q/A section, not here. but if you were to ask me, I would say taking phone calls, texting, skyping, playing CPU extensive games such as Real Racing 3, Ravensword 2, GTA SA, etc, listening to music, alarm clock, stopwatch, timer, clock, taking photos/videos, browsing Facebook, 9GAG, XDA Forums, using Chrome, Google Keep, Google Calendar, and most of all, tweaking my phone to the best of my ability to make things look right and just right.

I normally just use mine for the basics...calling, texting, important school email etc. It's also my primary alarm clock. Aside from that, I also use Keep to make sure I know what's due when and when I need to be where, not to mention music and social networking. I guess you could say I don't mess with my phone as much as I did when I had my HTC One. Although the N5 is rooted with a few mods, I try not to get too caught up in the realm of XDA as it does get quite addicting
Always start my day turning off my alarm, stock clock application is fine for me.
I use my phone as a music player A LOT, PowerAmp doesn't seem to work well with this phone for me so I use Google Play Music now.
Gmail, Google Calendar, Google Keep keep me organized. Office Mobile + OneDrive is my choice for office suite and cloud storage.
Most of my reading is on Chrome and Newstand.
Mostly to read news. It is also my alarm clock.
as a phone.
Amost Everything! GPS, Alarm, Banking, NFC, OTG, Browser, Tethering, Email, Texting, Camera, HDMI to TV, Phone, Entertainment, Weather, Calculator, etc.
My phone is my college companion: I often take notes by connecting a Bluetooth keyboard, read PDF documents, write and read emails, manage my cloud documents, and share its 3g connection to my laptop.
Then I use it for text messages (Hangouts, WhatsApp...) and Internet browsing, sometimes as a music player.

Email..
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk
Everything it can do. Calls, texts, email. Some games. Web browsing. YouTube, XDA, etc. Use Wallet & NFC to pay for stuff at a couple gas stations and stores in my areas. I use it to record notes (quick record feature on custom ROM). I use it as my alarm clock. I have an app to track my work hours and how much I make per hour. To track my expenses. As a GPS. HDMI mirroring to my TV for Netflix. Social networking. I use it as a camera as well. Pretty much everything it is capable of doing, I use it to do. I love it.
At the same time, writing this list I also realized how dependent I am on my phone. It's gonna get real once SkyNet takes over.
I switch between the N5 and M8 daily, but I mostly use my N5 for modding and tethering

Hi,
For benches, tweaks and kernel tests only...
And sometimes all the rest that a smartphone can do if I have enough battery life after 01H10 of total use of Antutu and Quadrant and after about 10 reboots a day due to some tests...
It's a Nexus device after all...
Calling family, texting family and friends, music, YouTube, browsing forums via Tapatalk, general web browsing and retrieving information from the internet when I am out.
I play around with the camera too and use the camera to capture anything and everything.

MUSIC.
I have it all day right next to me hocked up to my stereo via Bluetooth. I just love how easy it is to hear music all the time. And even if I'm not a home, I'm using my Klipsch S4 for that.
And of course for WhatsApp, XDA and for taking photos with the lovely camera. I love playing around with it (trying out new Roms, kernels and apps), tweaking it to my needs. I love my phone.

I cannot think of what I DON'T do with my N5, other than the usual calling , texting , social networking , gaming , scheduling , music and video streaming etc etc I do a lot of reboots.

How does the Google "Ecosystem" influences your life?

Google has put out awesome (and some not so awesome) apps to help out on your everyday life and entertainment.
How do you use these apps?
Watch a movie using Chromecast or other device?
Maps to find your way home?
Play Music to jam ?
what is the most useful app to you and how does it help or entertain you?????

I use:
Youtube every day (Most channels offerings are better than TV)
Maps (Sat-Nav occasionally)
Google Play (Obvious reasons)
Google search (^Ditto^)
Again the most useful is Youtube as it generally serves as my main news source
Google Ads (Yeah that is where my money come from)
Youtube (Obvious)
Google Search (..No comment...)
Gmail (I prefer Outlook but still use Gmail because of work)
Chromecast (Have one and it's bored)
Maps (The most accuracy map in my place)
Google Play (Unavoid-able)
Google Drive ....
Many more..
Google search on daily basis
Google drive, sheets, docs to keep sync between Android and PC, also edit sheets with both
Gmail as a primary mail address
Videos from YouTube (watching and sharing own videos privately with friends)
Maps & streetview for searching places (panoramio is also one good place when "web-travelling" )
