Reccomend me some Android Apps

[Trugga]

Just upgraded my phone to a new shiny Samsung Galaxy 3s (my first Android OS after the WP7 of the HTC and Windows Mobile ob the XDA prior ro that)

As I experienced on WM7, there are a lot of crAPPS around - can anyone reccomend any good (free or other wise) ones ?

Currently have found the Sky+ planner, Flikr & Photobucket, and a MS Office compatible editor/view (but doe not handle later office versions.

Would like a star map chart and a moon phase jobbie too.

Google Sky Map is a preety good free app for star charting. Just point it any where, (even at the ground) and it'll chart and name the major stars and constelations it's looking at

[Trugga]

Yep, found that one soon after I posted here - tis rather good.

Any more ?

Twitter - The standard app is great but doesnt allow for multiple accounts.
Kindle App - Self explanatory
Explosm - Cyanide and Happiness cartoons (CAUTION VERY DARK HUMOR)
Speedview lite - Great speedo app!
GPSTracker Lite (app is by Gabor Telek) - Great GPS tracker app that tracks you and does and overlay onto googlemaps..
ITV Player - Self explanatory
Stick Cricket - Great little game
2x Client - Great RDP client
ConvertPad - Great for converting units of any kind.
Space Images - For those of us who like SPAAAAACE!
Auto Trader -
Shazam - Great for naming that tune.
Firefox - Gret alternative browser incase something wont load on the standard one (which to be fair is pretty rare these days)
Kingsoft Office - Will handle latest office apps
Gmote - Use your phone as a PC remote!

Nice phone

I would recommend:
ebay,
reduce photo size, for resizing pictures to post here for example
dropbox, for keeping track and backup of your files everywhere from all pcs and phones (keeping your Frontera Todo list updated and available...)etc
Flaslight, obvoius
Jota text editor, super for notes etc (editing your Frontera Todo list...)
File manager, for keeping track of where things are stored in the phone
MX Videoplayer, play "difficult" internet videos
Swiftkey, awesome keyboard with smarttap adaptive memmory

The Galaxy S3 should come with Dropbox pre-installed with 50GB of online storage.. and has an ok file manager, although if you want something a touch more advanced for network browsing etc then go for ES file Explorer.

Swiss Army Knife app, it has a torch, compass, ruler, spirit level plus others.

Tiny Flashlight - Torch - https://play.google.com/store/apps/deta ... ult#?t=W10.

Zedge - Ringtones & wallpapers - https://play.google.com/store/apps/deta ... ult#?t=W10.
MM Tracker - runs memory map files -

Nice one, just got one after years with a HTC HD2 and WinMo 6.5

Not my first Android device, have a Asus Transformer which is great but have found a few apps that work well on the tablet but don't scale down to the S3

TBH the S3 is a great phone, but am feeling a little underwhelmed with it but dunno why, not sure if it is the additional bloatware added on top of Android by Samsung that is putting me off

Some good suggestions on the list and a few I haven't found yet but will be trying out

Dropsync for Dropbox, not free but gives you better options for choosing folders to sync plus a multitude of other options to preserve your bandwidth usage
Tapatalk (pity it is not useable on FOG)

[Trugga]

Thanks for the suggestions - some interesting things there to have a look at.

Cheers

I haven't got one of these new fangled phones but I did read you can get an app for tracing your phone if some one nicks it.

Stick Cricket - I'm seeing an awfull lot of that little yellow duck

Kingsoft Office - much better than the previous app I found

ebay - got that

File manager - is there one that shows a tree view? (like Windows')
I like ES file explorer - but how do I view my internal SD card?

Swis Army Knife - I like that

MM Tracker - just found this - will try it shortly

Played with a few barcode scanners - any reccomendations?

Oh, and how can I sync Outlook Tasks & Notes (I can do calendar & contacts)?


So thank you for those suggestions - any more?

A few apps I found and like:

Brother iprintscan - I can print from the 3s to my printer wirelessly
DOF Calculator - one for the SSLR Camera owners
O2 WiFi & BT Wifi to connect me on the move

And of course, a few games:
Bad Piggies
Doors & Rooms
100 Floors
Cut-n-Roll

Phones have come a long way - my first:


Motorolla International 8700

my last few:


O2's XDA 2i (Windows Mobile), HTC HD7 (Windows Phone 7.5), Samsung Galaxy S3 (Android)

And the SGS3 with my Stowaway bluetooth keyboard (paired it up and it worked):


Samsung Galaxy S3 paired to Think Outside Stowaway BT Keyboard

memory map, download it from their website and install it

The S3 should come with the official Dropbox client already installed, if you signup from your phone they will give you 50Gb of online space free for 2 years
