My daughter is an iOS hold-out, but she is moving over to Android in the next couple of weeks. My Note 5 is being bequeathed to her.
There are great suggestions already in this thread that should get you very excited. Let me support some of those, and add some as well...
- Use all Google services. They are beautifully designed, perfectly integrated and so practical. These include:
-- Google Keep - I live in my Keep notes, both professionally and personally
-- Google Drive - so cool to have everything available everywhere
-- Google Docs, Sheets, etc.
-- Google Photos - talk about amazing. Please. Be sure to routinely ask Photos to off-load files from your phone to free up space
-- Google Music - I pay for this, and get You Tube Red included
-- Google News - often overlooked, I love how smart News is getting over time. It knows exactly what to put in my news feed.
-- Google Inbox - I prefer this on my phone. Sometimes on my PC I need to go back to GMail to find certain things.
-- Google Calendar
-- Google Now - among many other benefits, it provides perfectly seamless "hands-free" receive/send of texts while driving. Now provides weather, knows when I've booked air travel, reminds me of my travel dates, and more.
-- Google Authenticator - if you are not familiar with it, read-up, get it and turn on 2-factor authentication
- Pushbullet for SMS integration. I like it better than Mighty Text. Personal taste.
- Pocket to store things for later.
- Textra for texting on phone. Simply amazing texting app that you will probably love.
- When I need to take notes at work, I've typically relied on paper notebooks so that I can sketch, scribble and jot. SNote is a very, very undervalued app that is simply awesome for this purpose for me. I do a lot of design work, so capturing *anything* is critical. SNote does this, and syncs with my PC. Plus, I love when I endlessly get the eventual question from others I work with "Are you really drawing and writing on your phone"?
- Widgets - 'nuff said. Welcome to 2016.
- PocketCasts - get used to accessing netcasts without being endlessly tied to iTunes. Love this app.
- Tap to Pay - I love Samsung Pay. It will work on all of those POC stations that are swipe-only. Amazing.
I'll stop here.
Welcome to freedom.
