Each app mentioned here plays a different role, and not every app may fit the needs of every Galaxy S6 user. That aside, I think you’ll be hard pressed to not find at least one app here that can’t improve your S6 experience.
1. Nova Launcher
Conclusion
No matter what apps you have on the Samsung Galaxy S6, your phone will still be a top class device. However, adding just one of these ten apps could potentially improve your experience. If you’ve never given one of the apps above a try, I implore you to take the plunge and give your Galaxy S6 an edge. Despite not being as bloat heavy as previous iterations, the Samsung Galaxy S6’s interface can be a little slow stock. Nova Launcher offers a faster, customization heavy launcher experience that many users never look back from. I really can’t stress enough how much you can customize Nova Launcher to suit your needs, so give the free version a try sometime. Free Version
2. Snapseed
Snapseed is a free photo editor that can easily make itself at home in any Android app drawer. Even if you already have a photo editor installed on your Galaxy S6, I recommend that you give Snapseed a try. Snapseed has a number of image editing tools, and raw image editing abilities. This editor is definitely one of the few I’ve encountered that has enough power to rival desktop programs. If you want the ability to edit images with layers on your device, then Snapseed definitely has you covered. The features list on its Google Play page alone is a journey to read through. Free Version
3. SHAREit
You can even share files wirelessly with SHAREit to a PC or Mac. As long as both devices can download a copy of SHAREit, you’re golden. The app’s sharing speeds can go all the way up to 20M/s, so don’t be afraid to copy or share big files; they’ll be done in no time flat. Even if you don’t have any files you want to share currently, SHAREit is a good, free investment that will pay off in the long run. Free Version
4. Monument Valley
Monument Valley isn’t free. You’d be looking at a $3.99 price tag, and in-app purchases on top of that. However, can you really put a price tag on beautifully outsmarting crow people in geometric mazes? If you can actually answer that with a yes, I’d like to have a word with you. Free Version
5. VLC Media Player
Personally, I additionally use the desktop version to play media files with almost obscure formats. No matter what device you use VLC on, it will serve you well. If you’re already set with your current media player on your Galaxy S6, I still implore you to give VLC a try. Free Version
6. AVG Antivirus
AVG is a fairly recognizable name in the antivirus world, and you’ll be in safe hands if you decide to let them protect your phone. The app includes more functions than just virus protection however. It can help free up space on your device, stop certain apps from misbehaving, and even help conserve your battery. Just remember that if you decide to do a full scan of your device, your phone may be sluggish until it’s complete.
7. Soundcloud
When it’s a match between Spotify and Soundcloud, I pick the latter based on its usability. I’ve never had a problem navigating Soundcloud, but that could be chalked up to how I like my music presented. Either way, Soundcloud is a fantastic way to enjoy free music, and be introduced to new artists you never knew you loved. Free Version
8. Smart IR Remote – Anymote
There’s a free version available as well under a slightly different name. If you need a remote that you most likely (here’s hoping) won’t lose, Smart IR is the way to go. Free Version
9. Dropbox
When you sign up, you’re given a box, and you can freely drop any file you want into it. If you like, you can lock the box away to draw from later, or let your friends know where the box is so they can copy files from it too. Any copyrighted material will be removed, and any illegal content as well, but other than that the box is yours to use. If you want another online storage option for your Galaxy S6 that you easily reach from anywhere, this is a great service.
