It has been about 3 months since I starting using Samsung Galaxy S5. Here are my top 5 picks for Samsung Galaxy S5
1.Google Keep
This is similar to Notes but because it is Google, you can have access to your notes from your desktop browser as it is synced with the Google Account. You can use Google Keep app for all kinds of stuff, storing memos, lists, recipes, random articles, URLs to news articles etc. You can color code your notes to differentiate memos from recipes. What I really like is the list feature which automatically strikes off an item when I click on the check-box. That makes grocery shopping super easy. It also has a search feature within the notes which makes it easy for you to search among thousands of notes.
2. Push Bullet
I absolutely love the Push Bullet app. I frequently use multiple devices, my desktop at home, my work computer and the phone. If I am reading an interesting article on my desktop or find a recipe for example, and I want to save it on my phone, the only ways to do that is email it to yourself or type the link on your phone. With Push bullet, you can install an extension in your browser and by the click of a button it sends the article that you are reading to your phone or any other device. The same applies to your phone, if you are reading an article on your phone you can push it to any other device. It isnt limited to just articles, you can push photos, videos, notes etc. You can also push it to your family's devices. So I frequently share articles using push bullet with my family as well.
3. CamScanner
I frequently have to scan documents. But its a tedious process on the scanner. So the CamScanner app allows you to take a picture and then converts it to a scanned document. Best part is even if the picture is a little distorted or angled incorrectly or the lighting is not right, the app adjusts everything and makes it look like an actual scan.
4. Beep'nGo
This is a Samsung native App, so download it from the Samsung Apps store. Love this app because it has all the offers in one place, no need to search for coupons! Beep'nGo app has offers on apparels, dining, grocery and automobiles. Plus, you can also scan your own coupons with the bar codes and you never have to carry them again. You can also scan your gift cards along with their bar codes so you can use the gift cards from your phone and never have to carry them in your wallet!
5. NightCamera
Honestly, Samsung Galaxy S5 has a great camera but it does not take good pictures at night. If you are a party animal who loves to take pictures in the dark or at night, you are better off with the IPhone. IPhone has way better picture quality at night than the Samsung Galaxy S5. So I have installed the NightCamera app which takes a good night picture. The only thing annoying about this app is the advertisement, but hey, if that's what keeps it free, then I am ok with it. ;)
