Please use this thread to suggest and promote good apps that make use of the S Pen.
It's my first time with a stylus enabled device and having just found out that the digitiser is made by Wacom got me excited about what features devs have been working on with regards to this. I am a computer graphic designer of sorts and decided to first look for an app that would maybe make my handset into a graphics tablet and soon found VirtualTablet Lite (S-Pen) (adfree version available).
Installed and loaded up PhotoShop CC 2014 and was very pleased that it tracked accurately and the pressure sensitivity worked instantly. I immediately bought the adfree version which works even better since the ads are gone and the tablet space takes up the full screen in horizontal mode. The phone screen is a proportional representation of your computers screen. Palm/hand detection is enabled by default too. The app and the server program are very clean and nicely made.
Screenshot of adfree version on my Note 4:

How about Sketchbook for galaxy and Artrage?
I'd love to hear some journal apps. SNOTE doesn't auto fill in dates so daily notes are even less convenient than paper.

How about Papyrus?

Handy Note is one of my favorite try it
I love LectureNotes although for Note 4 you have to change (in handling settings) the thickness of the pens to a much higher value.
MyScript Calculator
Let's you write out formulas and will calculate them. Doesn't seem to handle imaginary numbers though.
OneNote
Everyone probably knows this one. Switches to ink mode when you bring the stylus up to the screen.

great ! and free. what's good !!
Very cool app, but it doesn't display correctly on square screens 320x320.
great app!!! it works good on omnia 2. thank u!!!
The App is Good and work Super on Blackstone one Suggestion.. When you bloow you hear one time LOOP so will be really great if the bloowing is real i mean if you bloow longer to hear longer the sound if you bloow shorter the sound to be short too not everytime the Wuvuzela to play the same way no matter how do you bloow
Thanks, this is amazing app, the sound is like hmm... african
It's great! Tested on my Treo Pro, some issues:
The app don't fit to the SQVGA screen, can you release a qvga version?
When I force to close the app I can't open it again without restarting my device.
After close the app there's no more sound system need to restart the device
Truly a great App.
But the microphone blowing doesnt work for me.
It says that my device is not supportet???
which device?
Its a Touch Diamond 2 Fake... T5355. ;-D
Well maybe because it is fake?
Does mic work for other applications?
Yeah in other Apps it works very well.
Have you calibrated the mic at settings? (check the option, blow straight into it and then tap Ok)
I have the problem that when I started Wuvuzela on Touch Diamond2 with Stock ROM, the mic will no longer work in phone mode. This sucks.
A soft reset seems to be the only workaround.
Maybe you need to close the app to talk... not the ideal but anyway its a fun app.
Anyone tried amplifying it?
im looking for a developer with some android background who could help to implement some changes regarding per app dpi as explained here.
what this will do is break free what many have come to call "tablet mode" but this time without blowing the phone to bits. we could have the best of both worlds: tablet UI, tablet apps (gapps, settings, youtube, everything tablet HD & related) and normal apps running in their default layouts. the problem is that google created a hole between tiny phones from 2005 and big tablets. all our phones fall in it. it makes no sense that a nexus for instance runs in 1-column layout, its ridiculous actually for such a huge screen. tablet mode, as it is right now, helps, but it forces non-tablet apps into tiny layouts.
now we've had some success with our manual mod and even some dev's jumped in to adapt their apps, nova for instance is now tablet mode ready. but we just need to dig further. without per app dpi this will only be interesting for a small audience. with the setting in check it will probablby blow over and re-define ICS as we know it.
i managed to compile cm9 and im learning how to deal with it but its so much. a simple grep for stuff takes like an hour because its gigabytes of code. it grows way over my head right now. i think i've found A. the position where the treshold for the tablet switch is implemented which could be lowered and B. how to implement individual DPI but there's stuff missing. anyone who's interested to help or lead us in this, please contact me.
ps. what we'll get will look like this:

with that setting it could be like that on all phones, not just high density ones like nexus.
thanks!
Dear All,
We have just released our latest game for Windows Phone 7 and are looking for people to test it on Windows Phone 8. We would like to know if the game runs smooth and looks good. In the meantime we are working to port this game to Windows Phone 8 and make it resolution independent with HD graphic support.
The game is available for free. If you have the time please let us know if it works good on WP8. Thank you kindly.

DESCRIPTION:
A while ago we decided to tackle an old classic called Achtung die Kurve. This game has received quite some cult fame as a multiplayer game under students to release some stress during study breaks, and that is exactly how the idea started to revive this classic. Our initial plan was to design an AI for this game so that it could be enjoyable to play on a mobile phone. The problem with other Achtung games out there is that the AI is very simple and easy to beat or even non existant.
To design this AI we could not use a standard predefined algorithm, but instead had to combine various methods to make the AI more intelligent and harder to beat. And what started off as a challenge for ourselves ended up better than expected so we decided to turn it into a full game. We have worked hard to make the algorithm as efficient as possible and push the boundaries of the devices to achieve great performance, yet keep the gameplay challenging and fun.
To top it off we gave it a nice chalkboard design and composed a catchy theme song.
The game is completely free, please check it out and let us know what you think! If you like the game, please rate or review it.

We hope you like it! We had fun making it and are currently planning a Windows 8 port as well.

Hey Guys,
Its a great application landing to NOTE 2
Most people make do with a PIN or pattern lock to secure their Android devices. If you need something a little stronger (or just want to feel like Ethan Hunt) EyeVerify has just released the beta version of an app that uses honest-to-goodness eye scans. Eyeprint takes a photo of your face, then matches the pattern of blood vessels on your eyeballs to a previous photo to access locked apps.

Technically, Eyeprint isn't using the classic retina scan to grant access - that would require a small amount of infrared light to illuminate the membrane at the back of the eye. It uses the same principle of amazingly unique vein patterns, but it picks them up from the corners of your eyes. Users need a front-facing camera of at lest 2 megapixels. To create the baseline, you'll have to follow the instructions while using the rear camera, looking to the far left and right to let the camera pick up the veins on your eyes. After that, a quick scan of your eyes looking left and right from the front-facing cam should do the trick.
EyeVerify hopes to expand its services to other developers on Android and iOS through an SDK. At present, the app can only lock other apps - you can't actually unlock your phone with an eye scan. (There's a quick "lock all" option for the truly paranoid.) Early feedback from the Play Store indicates that it's very efficacious, so hopefully more devices will be enables as the beta program continues. The Eyeprint App Lock Beta is free to try for 30 days.

looks promising..
Anyone have the apk? google says not compatible with note 8, I say 'let me try'
This app did not get very good reviews from the users on the Playstore

I was considering shelling out £600 for the Tab S3 but remembering from my old Note 4 that the Direct Pen input method stopped working about a year ago I thought I'd check whether Samsung had addressed this on their premium note taking device.
No.
I can't believe that the 2 top apps for note taking and management can't be used with an S-Pen, this is crazy.
I don't believe this to be a strange use case, there must be others who want to write their notes onto the screen and have that turned into text WITHIN their note app of choice. I'd be happy to use either, but neither works. Evernote told me it was to do with adopting Chrome as the input editor, is there any way around this? Otherwise there is little point in having an S-Pen.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Direct Pen input works with no problem here. Is it only not compatible with the 2 apps you mentioned?

You can use the S-pen in the keyboard and have that convert to text in any app you use. As for converting sketched letters to typed words it would be the app not Samsung to blame.
BTW, for OneNote, the "workaround" is to turn off auto switch to ink mode on stylus hover in settings for getting the keyboard To show up when using the S-Pen.
