Re: Multi-window compatible 3rd party apps

Yea I noticed, but surprisingly the one on Google Play Store ( 2.9.5196) , seems not to be multiwindow compatible.

Re: Multi-window compatible 3rd party apps

Brilliant idea, thanks so much. I hope smn else might think about similar trends.
I would add.:
Dice Player
Floating Notes
Flying Notes
Float Player
Floating Stickies
MemoTheme/TheMiniMemo
My Files
Stick It!
Somnote
Som Todo( see it in the store at other apps created by the developer ofSomnote, it doesnt come up in the search menu)
Tiny Apps
WNotePad


RELATED
Floating Banner -it's not a floating app per se but allows you to put your fav applications on top of those you're working on
Sticky- it's not a floating app but it's screen is transparent allows you to create sticky notes while maintaining sight of apps you're working on

Thanks for listing Tiny Apps. I just downloaded it and like it a lot. Finally found a note pad app that will allow me to use previous notes on top of other applications. The S-Notes will only float when you create a note. Once it's saved, there's no way to make it float again. This app can make new, as well as older notes float. Are there any other note pad apps with floating ability, which allow you to create notes using the S-Pen?
I also downloaded Floating Banner. How exactly does this app work? I was assuming I would be able to run apps in the little window, but when I click on an app icon, it exists out of that window.

FloatNote

hi, thanks a lot for making me aware of addit possibilities re picking up from previous notes-I did not think of that. After your email/ ideas I reviewed my apps and my impresssions are:

1Floating apps for typing:
-Tiny apps are better for audio recording and listening to recordings 2nd place for text editing after Hovernote and TextEdit.
-Hovernote and TextEdit( a multiwindow, not floating appp)are better for typing. They allow you to pick up from the note you left off, and they also allow you to open and edit other text documents from your sd memory. I also like Hovernote as it has the advantage of staying on the screen and you can close it in a specific manner- you can not close it by mistake as other floating apps

2.Floating Spen apps
-Among the multiwindow apps that you already know, I use by default as " floating" Papyrus and Write (my fav, bcs they have the most customizable features ie smaller size) also LectureNotes, Quill.
-Today I came across a 3rd party app called FloatNote see link bellow .It's good for reminders eg memos,to do notes rather than as study notes etc
- ⚝⚝Spen app (Alternative "Touchwiz") / Float Window ⚝⚝ --- ➭➭CM/PA/AOSP - xda-developers. google search is " List of S-pen app & Floating app". or
[APP]$$$... FLOATING Windows { NOTE & FOLDERS & Many more } nice to help US with Spen - xda-developers

3.Re Floating Browser- the apps are meant to exit the window once you use them. You can add your floating apps or multi - window apps in it. It doesnt edit other apps, it allows you to open them without closing or minimizing the apps you're already working on.- it' s a shortcut, not an editor.To edit your apps ( make them multi- window), ppl recommend that you " root"?? your device, I havent tried that.
There is another app recommended by others FLOATING WIDGETS but I struggled with it.

- In an unrel matter, I liked 3 folder applications for your icons that declutter your home screen: Popcon Tray, Floating Browser( they are also floatable allow you to put your floatable apps on top of the ones that you are using) and Popup Folder).


Any other suggestions re productivity would be much appreciated.

Thanks for the input. I've added the ones that I could verify that work with the multi-window feature. Most of them seem to be floating apps, which are different from multi-window.

If I missed any or you have any others, please post them.

I see that this thread has been widely viewed( it's an excellent concept) and I am hoping for more posts from viewers. Even obscure apps count to keep the interest and traffic on - which would increase the possibility of smn else posting otherwise the thread will die out would not benefit
