Good Android apps for the Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1

Summary: I have been using the Galaxy Note 10.1 for a few weeks and find the big screen is great for most apps. This is a collection of some really good ones including some apps preinstalled on the Galaxy.

Chrome browser

I use Chrome on every device I use, and it works especially well on the Note 10.1. Web pages display well in either landscape mode (shown) and portrait mode. Touch operation of the browser is smooth as butter, and makes web surfing a breeze.

Chrome also works with the S Pen in hover mode, as dropdown boxes work as they do on the desktop with the pen hovering over them.

  • HD Widgets

    A great collection of widgets for both phones and tablets. Another similar good set of widgets is Beautiful Widgets. That comes with the live wallpaper I'm using in that screen shot.

  • Value Add Apps

    I rarely comment on anything but was disappointed in this list. Almost all of these are included apps. The list is really remiss to not have included SketchBook for drawing/sketching and LectureNotes for taking handwritten notes. I liken SNote to how I use a sticky note and LectureNotes to a real notebook for meeting notes, ideas, etc.

    For a PIM PocketInformant 3 is superior to SPlanner I think in every way imaginable.

    • Missed your PI2 Screenshot

      But still worth mentioning PI3 and Lecture Notes.
