F13Bubba Posted March 14, 2015 Posted March 14, 2015 So I finally bit the bullet and jumped into the tablet world, I got me a shiny new Galaxy Tab S 10.5, and LOVE it so far. I got it mostly to be able to digitally carry all my sheet music for school, but I also want to use it in other effective ways. As such, I'm looking for your recommendations as to some useful Android Apps that may improve my tab experience, and assist in my learning endeavours. Hell, let's be honest, I'm looking for games as well haha! Any suggestions? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bp9801 Posted March 14, 2015 Posted March 14, 2015 The typical things like Netflix, Amazon Music, Amazon Kindle (may already be pre-installed), and Spotify (or Pandora if you use that). Real Guitar may be interesting for you, although I know you mostly sing. There are tuner and metronome apps to get if you don't have one already; some are paid, while some are free. Amazon also has a free app of the day that covers a range of types, so definitely check that out. Just be mindful of the reviews, as they can let you know if the app is even worth installing. For some games, can't go wrong with Plague Inc., GTA: Vice City, GTA: San Andreas, Knights of the Old Republic, The Bard's Tale, and Anomaly: Warzone Earth. There are others too, free and paid, so just have to see what interests you. Humble Bundle offers Android game bundles from time to time, so definitely check that out.

As awesome as that'd be, without controller support they're probably impossible to realistically play (and succeed) Here's my list of essentials for ya: Adobe Reader Airdroid AK Notepad Astrid Tasks (if this is still around anymore) BlueputDroid ConvertPad Credit Karma Dolphin Browser ES File Explorer Gameboid Gas Buddy GBCoid Gensoid Hangouts Maps Max Remote Meridian Player Mupen64 Plus AE OfficeSuite QuickPic RAR (WinRAR) Screenshot Ultimate SeriesGuide Shazam Skype Speedtest Steam SuperSU (...because you better be rooted lol) Teamviewer Ticker Titanium Backup Torque TuneIn Radio VLC Wallaby Wifi Analyzer uTorrent Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

WhenKittensATK Posted March 14, 2015 Posted March 14, 2015 My most used apps are (non-social media): Plex, SlickDeals, Walkman, Poweramp, and Mint. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
F13Bubba Posted March 15, 2015 Posted March 15, 2015 I'm not rooted, purely because I don't want to risk the warranty. @BP, I think I actually installed that today. I play guiotar, drums, a wee bit of piano and sing, so I like everything haha. Thanks for the suggestions! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
IVIYTH0S Posted March 15, 2015 Posted March 15, 2015 If you can unroot it at any time, just do that if it has to get warranty repair, but if it's so far gone you can't then I doubt they'd deny your warranty claim when the rooting was obviously un related Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'll see what I think needs to happen. I'm working on rooting my dad's old eee pad transformer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
