What are the best Apps?

[Randu]

Just dumped the talk only phone and now can become smart. I'm amazed what this Note 4 is capable of doing but have a lot to learn to use it.

I got a few basic apps like Gas Buddy, Road Ninja, Facebook, and e-mail. So many apps and hard to understand what may be of the most use.
Bring on your recommendation's of what I need. Randu

App thread

That Thread was from Summer of 2013. Unfortunately with this tech - change happens quick. There are new apps out, and some have moved on. Revisting this topic is not a bad thing.

Besideswhat you mentioned, the App I use the most with RoadAbode is Google Maps. Not just for GPS, but I can ask "OK Google, wheres the nearest WalMart" Or Ask OK Google show me Grocery Stores" and I can find stuff pretty quick. Past that I enjoy reading books on my Note 2 - and your Note 4 I think is even bigger?

I use a reader called Moon Reader. You can even hook it up to some free library of books.
I use Pandora to listen to online music radio while driving - have tried others and keep going back. Interface is easy.

Glympse is cool - some don't like it though. It allows you to text or email someone your location and they can watch on a map (if they are on a smartphone or computer) your ETA to a location - otr too them. Great when I'm meeting someone so they know when I'll be at the restaurant or whatever.

And all these I use the free versions - except Moon Reader - I bought that when it was on sale for the connect to librarys feature.

Just for Fun - Google Sky to locate Planets, stars and other night objects.
Good Luck - enjoy the new toy!

Satellite AR... If you have a dish, this app will locate Dish Network or DirectTV satellites (amongst others) through your phones camera giving you a view of where the satellites are in the sky and if any obstructions (trees, etc...) are in the way. It's very easy to use and best of all... It's free.
