I. Samsung's Messenger
Problem:
Too clunky and unintuitive. Have to scroll down every time to view all messages due to enormous "Messages" title. Same with contacts. Annoying pop up balloon that reads "Converting to Multimedia Message" that overlays on screen preventing me from typing. I don't need to know how your app works in the background, stop impeding my ability to compose a message!
Ideal functionality:
Built in contacts and groups as I have a lot of clients that I sort by their organization and not just name which is the only problem with Textra.
II. Samsung Gallery
Problems:
1. No ability to lock touchscreen input using Spen! This is a serious oversight by samsung and is extremely annoying while trying to finger zoom or pan an image while editing with the s-pen!
2. Turning off screen rotation doesn't take effect until the app is restarted.
3. Built in annoying prompts asking to update to latest version! I have app updates DISABLED globally because this is the way I have always done things since Windows XP! And don't tell me that my device is less secure without the latest nagware updates because I have haven't had viruses in over 5 years!
Ideal functionality:
To not have the above mentioned issues like samsung's gallery and to have a separate app for camera just like the stock galley app.
Summary:
If anyone has two recommendations that fit these requirements you would be doing everyone that uses a Galaxy Note a big favor. Most of us only use this series because of the S-pen functionality which isn't even fully supported by Samsung! I use a Note for business use like many other professionals, and find it incredibly frustrating when in the field to deal with these problems.
