Apps Any Recommendations?

[snugglestruggle]

I just picked up a Galaxy S4 and now that I'm more familiar with it, I'm ready to download some App's. I've been told snapchat, instagram, Kik are all good.

Which do you have experience with, find useful or fun? Any input is welcome.

Simpson's Tapped Out.

Though I have been neglecting mine since I can no longer level up cause I hit the limit.

Sounds like a game?

It is.

Though why you want a droid boggles the mind.

 

[snugglestruggle]

Lots of reasons. I doubt they're interesting to anyone but myself.

Isn't it one of those games that extorts you for money half way in?

I have put no money into it, but you can buy extra doughnuts to move ahead faster.

I am too cheap to pay for such.

I play a ton of Pool Billiards Pro on my S3. VIP poker is alright, and I use it sometimes. There are a few different Theramin apps that are fun too.

google sky map is great for checking out the night sky.

tripadvisor and expedia were pretty good worldwide. Hostelworld came in handy too. I have skyscanner, hipmunk, and kayak but they didn't work well in either Europe or S.E. Asia/Australia.

I also found google maps invaluable for public transit stuff in new cities.

ConvertPad is an awesome comprehensive conversion app. Does shoe sizes, currency, cubic yards etc....

I use GasBuddy a fair bit. Particularly useful if you travel a lot.

aCar - useful for tracking car related expenses. I liked it enough to pay the money for aCar Pro.

The App for my bank and the one for my credit union.

xe currency converter

Firefox

The app for the grocery store I shop at the most.

2048 - a deceptively addictive math game. I spent an entire 3 hour plane ride yesterday trying to beat it.

 

[okatty35]

Ring Toggle - easy way to set phone to mute, vibrate or whatever

My Car Locator - (yes I lose my car!)

Snapseed - Photo App

Weather Channel

Color Note (great for lists, notes, etc)

Tip Calculator (poor math skills for me?)

My Fitness Pal (great app to track meals and activity)

Cox Connect if you happen to be on Cox Cable

I use lots of sports apps - NBA Gametime, PGA Tour, Yahoo Sports, NFL Mobile

I.C.E. (In Case of Emergency) lists your contacts, blood type, medical conditions...
Panic Button One click and it sends texts to your list, with gps info
Swiss Army Knife Flashlight, stopwatch, magnifier, calculator...
Aldiko book reader EPUB format, excellent
CamScanner takes photo of your document, converts to PDF, sends to who you want
HDR camera takes photos in High Dynamic Range. Marvelous.
Note Everything Because sometimes it helps to write things down.
Key Ring keeps all those store loyalty cards digitally.
Scout good navigation program, gives eta's, choice of three routes
1-tap cleaner clears your cache files
Advanced Task Killer lets you shut down apps you are not using. Saves battery.
Vaulty lets you hide and password-protect photos. Yeah, THOSE photos.
Stitcher lets you choose podcasts that interest you and play them when you want
Gasbuddy can save you a ton of money on fuel
iTriage is good for finding out what ails you and what to do about it

Want to see something hilarious? Search for "2048" on the Play store.

I stick to the original tho.

 

[StrangeLife]

DropBox, Evernote, Instagram, Wikipedia, Yelp, Sports Tracker, Fitness Pal...

A new Question

Thank You everyone for some great suggestions. Some of them I heard of others I didn't like camscanner , advanced task killer and vaulty (makes a note to get vault).

Alright heres another question. Generally speaking do You use a third party App for Instant messages or do you just use your phones messaging service?
Thank You.

I usually just use the phone's text. But sometimes I use Message Delayer. I can set it up to give my sons a "Happy Birthday" at the exact time they were born, without having to stay up all night again.

With unlimited SMS/MMS I see no reason to use anything else.


To return to the app recommendations, get your banks app as well. A phone is a lot less susceptible to malware and virus compared to a PC, so banking on the phone is a lot safer.

Download Aviary if you want to share your nude pics (cropping pics are advantageous)...

That's on my list which is ironic because my old bank was a pain drive to and my new bank has 2 branches within 5 min of me.
