We love the S Pen but the Note apps need to get better. We pick the Android apps we hope will make better use of the Note 4's best feature
The Galaxy Note 4 is here, and once again it offers something very important that you just don’t get in its more famous brother the Galaxy S5 – a brilliant S Pen stylus.
This is a digitiser stylus that’s pressure sensitive and much more accurate than the capacitive styluses you can get for other phones. Of course, you need an app that really uses that extra hardware to make the S Pen stylus worthwhile.
Samsung has packed the Note 4 with its own ways to use the stylus, but there are others out there too. As the Note series has been around for years, there are plenty of apps that can make use of the phone’s drawing skills. Here are the top picks, and how they need to be improved for the next-gen Note gangbuster.
