A few months back I asked for your opinions on what kind of phone to buy. Well, I decided on (and got) a Samsung Galaxy s4 mini. I love it. This being my first smart phone, I was just wondering if I have missed out on downloading some fantastic apps.

I don't have a Samsung... But the ones I use the most are Facebook, MapQuest, Kindle, eBay, Photoshop photo editing app, and YouTube.  Hope you enjoy your new phone! PS... and Pinterest! |

I have an iPhone, so not sure of how many of these are Apple only, but....I like Pic Collage to put together several photos in a collage that can then be sent to your Instagram or Facebook account. I use Bloglovin for a blog reader if you follow several blogs. And as an avid book reader, I just started using Goodreads this year and wish I had not waited so long! Flixster is great for movie reviews and showtimes. I would also recommend downloading any apps for stores you frequent and Amazon if you shop online regularly. And finally, 2048 is a fun, addicting game!

Another iPhone user here, but here are the apps I couldn't live without: Instagram A good photo editing app (or 5 - who's counting?) My favorite is PicTapGo, [HASH]2 is Snapseed. Facebook (although I've given up on the Facebook app and use Friendly instead) Tapatalk for the board! A good grocery/shopping list app. I've tried a few and have been using Grocery IQ for over a year now. Love it!) Words with Friends A password keeper - I have mSecure Pandora Other ones I use a lot are RunKeeper (not that I run, but I've found it to be more accurate that Map my Fitness), Flipboard, Around Me, Yelp, Netflix, Goodreads, Retail Me Not, and SnipSnap. Enjoy your new toy! |

I don't have very many apps on my phone. I do how ever can not live without my scrabble word dictionary, IDMB, and my spite and malice card game.
On my tablet that is a whole different ball game..... I love my tablet and love playing games. I have a bunch of games but I like to play card games, farm games, dice games, zuma, I have downloaded every free zuma type game I could find and I have started with the 1st level and gone through all the levels on all but 4 of the games. I think there was 23 total that I downloaded. It has taken me since Christmas.
my none game apps I can't live without are of course IMDB, offline dictionary, netflix, my cable app (its suppose to be like a remote control so that if I am away from the house and want to record something I can set a recording on my dvrs) daughter used it a couple times on her tablet but I need to set mine up... I have a few tv channel apps, local news apps, my kindle app, nook app, I have ps touch, and phototshop tutorial so that I can learn how to use the pstouch.
On my kindle fire that stays on my nightstand I have IMDB, Backgammon I think there might be 1 or 2 other ones on there but I never use them.... I either read or play backgammon before going to sleep at night or when I wake up in the middle of the night when everybody else is sleeping.

Photo Grid is cool, so is out of milk! Thanks guys! There's one called Mosaic, you pick out 20 photos from your gallery or FB and they will create a book, the cover is a mosaic cut out of the pics. I don't know the price though, I created my book but when it came to click to buy, I stopped.  |

I use my tablet more. Your post made me realize I want to use my mini pad more for games AND especially backgammon! My sister always wants to play and I haven't played in years so I say no. But if I could practice and relearn that would be awesome! So thank you!!! |

gale w have you tried AccuWeather? It's pretty, well accurate! It will give you minute to minute forecast for the upcoming hour, like it will tell you it's going to start raining in 10 minutes and predicts when it will stop. So far it's been pretty spot on.

Mobimaps. I amuse myself sometimes by 'exploring' places I have wanted to see. It saves a fortune in petrol.

In addition to many that others have mentions, one I love is "Keyring" it keeps track of ALL those loyalty cards you have. it will let you take a picture of the bar code, and some stores can scan that, if not they can enter the number.
I also use it for membership cards to museums etc. Saves a lot of space in my wallet and purse.

So thank you!!! i just have the free backgammon. the one with the picture of a wood board. I tried a few of the others and didn't like them. This one doesn't have annoying ads and you can set it up the way you want. you can play with multiple players or against the game. I like it because I can watch tv and so it at the same time and I am not timed. |
