Look at me I'm an unsuccessful nerd

[Krill]

I just bought a Samsung Galaxy S3. I have never owned a smartphone before (never needed one) but I'm taking the plunge at last. What apps should I get?

[DaShi]

Pleco

[Krill]

And WTF does that do?

[DaShi]

It helps you hit on Chinese girls.

[Krill]

Unless it allows the phone to sprout tentacles and rape them itself so I can watch I'm not interested.

[DaShi]

I guess you choose the right market for apps then. You won't find anything like on the iPhone.

I have an older Samsung smartphone, so your phone will be able to handle these apps without any problem. These are all free unless otherwise noted

Google maps
Winamp
YPmobile (yellow pages app)
Blacklist (blocks the university's department of asking me to donate money)
Kindle
JP Morgan Chase app (your own bank will probably have its own app if it's a national bank)
Wordie Adjudicator (for figuring out of a Scrabble word is legit)
Scrabble Helper (same as Wordie Adjudicator except it also provides the word's definition; only works online, Wordie is offline)
CoPilot Live (5$ GPS app that isn't as good as Google Maps 95% of the time, but is infinitely better if I don't have cell service)
Youtube
Dictionary
App 2 SD (tells me which apps can be moved from the phone's internal memory to the SD card)

On my tablet I also have
Logmein Ignition ($30) (lets me operate my computers via the tablet)
MX Player (video player)
File Expert (file manager)
Hex editor (for cheating in video games)
Netflix
Dictionary, calculator, etc
A bunch of ****ty kids' games for my nieces

Pandora

Doesn't work outside the US last time I checked.

[SlowwHand]

Pandora doesn't? That sucks.

[Ben Kenobi]

Loin does TASes?

The Night Sky
3G Watchdog
Folder Organizer
1 Tap Cleaner
Evernote (this is truly a wonderful app)
Best Parking
Juice Defender
Shake Camera Free
Wave Launcher

What do you use for security?

[loinburger]

The tablet is encrypted, and the phone will wipe all if its data if the wrong password is entered eight times
