APPS that you must use!

[Oliver Ngo]

Hi, i've moved from iphone to samsung for first time. I've always used stock apps, is there any apps i should be using?

For me. Nova launcher as a homescreen. contacts+ as combined texting and contacts app. QuickPic is a nice gallery replacement. Pushbullet is brilliant for file transfer and computer stuff. Chrome as a browser no doubt.
These are my picks but my best advice is to try these, stock apps and other third party apps and find out what you like most yourself

Agree with the Nova Launcher suggestion. You can sign up for the beta version which seems to run better on the S6. Nova Launcher Beta

Also recommend Textra for SMS, Zedge for ringtone and notification sounds...

Thanks for the reminder about Nova Launcher beta, as a paid user I look forward to seeing what they are doing. What types of improvements are you seeing on the S6 vs the non-beta?

If no one said Shape'd or Image Editor....BAM lol

Carbon for twitter. Has a dark theme. A must in my book.

Flipboard or news360 for news reading are great!

The beta version is material design and seems to run much better on Lollipop. Notifications etc are much more fluid.

It actually does, nova allows you to customize a lot of options that change the way your home screen and app drawer work. Download it them spend 10 minutes in the settings
