Whats applications are suggested? - Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II

The S Suggest app sucks at telling me what apps will work on the note 2 and it doesnt give me good apps either.
Im looking for a few must have applications to enjoy the note 2 better. Also may increase my use of the note 2. And also maybe a few games?
I got dragonvale if anyone plays let me know.
Thanks

Ive been looking around also. I enjoy art and bought Sketchbook mobile. There is a free version with some features cut but still worth a download. If you're into art it pretty much a slim Photoshop in your pocket. I've never used a wacom so this is as close as ive been but the one dollar app was worth the $300 phone haha.

I guess a lot of it comes down to what you want to do, but I rely heavily on productivity tools like Astrid Tasks and Note Everything Pro. I use gReader for RSS, USA Today, and recently discovered Flipboard for news. Sign for speed dialing, Wave Launcher for quick access to certain apps at any time, Tasker, and Tapatalk. As far as S-Pen apps, Paper Artist that comes with it is fun, and PicSay Pro is that much easier to use now that I have the S-Pen.

New to Android - What Apps are best for Note?

Sorry there's probably similar threads, and I've been looking around and getting a good idea of some Apps, but was hoping people could throw down there opinions here, and why they like their Apps ect. My last phone was an HTC Touch Diamond that I had for three years, It was a windows mobile 6 phone I believe. I've been blown away by how versatile and powerful the Note is comparatively.
I'm just looking for general purpose Apps really. A good replacement web browser that can utilize our larger screen and high resolution, someone was saying we can replace the stock samsung touch keyboard? That would be nice, any suggestions ect?
Also, any good strategy games? I haven't found many, but haven't had as much time to look as I'd like.
You are correct, these threads already exist.
Here's one that answers your question.

Did you watch the noob video
Yes threads are already out there, so you really answered your own questions.
But I will be somewhat helpful seeing I am already typing this.
Browser: Dolphin HD- Very fast, feels like your browsing on a computer
Messege: Handcent- Good features
Keyboard: Thumbs keyboard- Just trust me
Hope this helps
I uae handcent for sms....a lot of customization ....and smart keyboard bro...a lot of nice options in there to suit your typing needs...plus some nice keyboard skins..and u can make the keyboard resizeable.....

Absolutely. I've emailed the dev asking if he'd consider integrating other deal sites, such as Tanga and daily steals. He said he would look into it but is too busy with life to deal with total redesigns right now. His app is simple, smooth, and well designed. I love the idea of picking a site then getting what you normally see in woot watcher.

APKs from other phones

I'm getting ready to buy a Note (coming from the Infuse) and I was curious if anyone knows how the Note handles apks from other phones. Does the Note automatically stretch to fit its screen or will the app display in its native resolution (ie. 480x800)?
Also, does the market honor already purchased apps? Meaning, if I bought say Soundhound for my Infuse, can I automatically download it from the market for the Note when the time comes? Or do I need to buy them again? Some of them cost $5 while others were on sale for a penny.
I have over 50 games and apps installed on my Infuse, so I'm hoping the transition will be as painless as possible.

So far, from what I have seen, the apps just stretch, same way as phone apps stretch on tablets with high resolution.
Also, your purchases in the app store will work on any device you have set up with your Google account, so yes, it will be a painless transition, and your purchased apps well show up if you hit menu –> my apps. No need to repurchase.

That's great to hear! Can't wait to get started. Thanks for the info, welchertc.
Some apps that aren't written properly for higher resolutions will only fill up a certain portion of the screen, but I've only found one of these..

Apps that work especially well with Note/Note2

So I think I will be picking up a Note 2 when it comes out, but I'd like to know what apps are especially useful for a device like this? With it having a stylus I imagine there are some apps that will take advantage of that.
there's a similar thread to this in the Note 1 section filled with programs, you should check it ^_^
Hi @Hell Guardian please share the exact link so every can check and get benefit .
Probably referring to this thread:
Best Apps you purchased for Note - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1839673&highlight=apps
Yeah, but all of those that I've seen are just general Android apps. I'm looking for Apps that take advantage of the stylus.
Samsung it is your leading role here!

I guess we have to wait a couple of months to see apps opimized for stylus. Iy is not very viable for developers to create apps for one mobile on one platform. Samsung has the burden to make extra efforts here to boost their flagship.
Check out the winners of Samsung's "S Pen Challenge". I have downloaded a couple of those apps and they work better than the S-memo
I love playing picross type of games with the spen using a really tight grid.

Using tablet in class

Well, I just got myself an OTG cable for my Nexus 7. It's currently connected to a keyboard and I'm actually typing on it right now.
Since I just got my tablet, I'm not sure if I want a laptop. I have a desktop at home if I wanted to do homework, but in class I could bring my tablet.
Do you think it's silly to take notes in class with a tablet/keyboard combo? I'll probably use Supernotes too, unless there is a better note taking app.
Is it even practical either?

It's all a matter of personal preference personally I use a netbook for taking notes in class, but several people I know and my friends who have tablets use a a tablet and keyboard combination for taking notes (Ranging from ASUS Transformer to Ipad with bluetooth dock keyboard cover) and it works great for them. If you want to go light and the tablet/keyboard combo works for you I say go for it. Also check out Evernote, in my opinion the best mobile note taking app out there right now, plus it easily syncs with your Evernote notes on your desktop, on pretty much any OS and you can also edit your notes easily and conveniently from the web.

I've been using my ICS tablet for quite some time at school now... works great. All I miss is a fysical keyboard. Even use Aldiko to read my schoolbooks...

Well I miss the physical keybord too, but my TF101 is wonderful for slides consulting, I waste much less paper since I own it.

Catch is good but I feel as if Evernote is more polished, less buggy, and works better cross platform. Plus for me while the interface felt nice, things didn't necessarily seem as intuitive as they could have been, nerveless it is still a good alternative to Evernote. I also use AK Notepad by the people who make Catch for real simple quick and dirty note takings (Have been using that since early on with my Droid 1).
Over here in my school its compulsory for everyone to have a *cough* iPad *cough* (because its simple to use... really??), yeah I prefer it to pen and paper. Much faster and I get more customisation choices, screw different coloured pens... they're all on Google docs and I share them with everyone plus they don't get lost. Love it.

Looking for a good work related sketching app + sharing

Hey everyone, I just picked this tablet up to bring to job sites with me. I install glass shower doors so I'm always drawing pictures (I attached one) to send off to the manufacturers for quotes. Instead of drawing them on paper and then going back and re-drawing on the computer to send over, I want to just draw them on the tablet and shoot off the email right from where ever I am.
I know coming from the tablet they won't be exactly the same as what I have attached, but I'm just looking for similar. Anyone know of a good app that may come in handy for me? The reason I went to the Samsung was because of the stylus, and I can lean your hand on the screen while drawing for better accuracy.
I also like Evernote's cloud based system where you can login from any phone/desktop/tablet and have access to all of your data. Seems like a great platform and I may end up using it, but I'm just looking for other options at this point.
It doesn't matter if it's a free or paid app, if it does what I want it to do I have no problem paying for it.
Thanks everyone,
The Play Store is your friend...
https://play.google.com/store/search?q=floor planners&hl=en_GB ...then scroll down to Apps
Yeah I know you can obviously search but there are countless apps, I was asking if anyone had any previous experience doing something similar to what I was looking to do.. and knew of an app that handled it well.
Any drawing application will do that for u, sketchbook pro or artflow pro. Do u use ms paint for the pics you draw?

Actually you should have Scetchbook for Galaxy already installed on this tablet? Tried it?
try “s-pen share”

I would use Infinite Painter, found in the play store. You can perform wonders with the appropriate layering work flow. Give it a try. It's free! It's also designed for the 10.1 2014!
PM me if you can't find it.
Hope it helps.

I'm with the above user: Infinite painter is one of the most powerful drawing toos using S Pen
there's also Infinite Design for more technical drawings. this one isn't fully integrate with s pen, however
