Default Switched from Apple to Android

I just got an Android after having Apple for about 10 years what are the must have apps? I have a couple of the shooting ones from the crossover setup, Tapatalk, and IHunter already what about more day to day stuff?

I don't tend to get a lot of time for podcasts but I do enjoy them when I can. Thanks.

One thing I'm really unimpressed with is Android Auto. I have a 2017 GMC and Car Play blows it away by far. Is there a better version or something I can do? A better music player to play my music, not an online player?

If you get an iPhone it will be better.

Sometimes the grass isn't always greener.

What I meant say is, that if you still have an iPhone just use it as your music player in your truck.

Or get yourself a iPod.

If I do that I also lose the functionality of having the Android Auto or Car Play. While it is a solution, there has to be better players out there, or some better apps to make it a better platform.

Google Music/play or Spotify is what I use for music. If you pay monthly you can download onto your and play outside of cell range or use no data. I think Spotify is worth the 10$ a month I spend.

Colornote is excellent for keeping checklists and notes.

Army knife for Android, good little app. Flashlight, unit converter, timer, stopwatch, compass, level, calculator, magnifying glass, ruler, etc.
