Whether you’re an artist, professional, student or just an avid scribbler-of-things, we’ve got the apps to have your S Pen serve you better.There are tons of apps available in the Google Play Store and it is very difficult to find the right apps for your new Samsung Galaxy Note 8.Don’t worry we have got you covered.Here is our list of Top 20 Best Must have Apps for Samsung Galaxy Note 8
Top 20 Best Must have Apps for Samsung Galaxy Note 8 | Best Note 8 S Pen Apps
Samsung Notes
An obvious one to start with: of course Samsung wouldn’t let its own built-in notepad to be rubbish. All the quick notes you scribble down on the lock screen are dumped into Samsung Notes, so you can’t really escape it, but thankfully the app itself is pretty decent. You can swap between tools for typed text and written S Pen notes, but you’re limited to the dimensions of the phone – there’s no zooming in or out here. You can’t scribble over text either, which is a real shame. It’s the “brush” options for arty types that really impress, though. You’ve got plenty of realistic art tools, from pens to brushes and pencils, which can all be subtly modified and fine-tuned. Paints smudge with uncanny realism, watercolours come out the way you want them to, and the pencil markings look as they should. [appbox googleplay com.samsung.android.app.notes] AutoCAD 360 enables you to view, edit and share AutoCAD drawings with anyone, anywhere using your Galaxy Note device. Optimized for the S Pen, AutoCAD 360 allows you to draw and edit shapes with accuracy using S Pen. Annotate and revise drawings in the office, in the field, or in a meeting. AutoCAD 360 facilitates design creation, review and approval using powerful, built-in collaboration tools. [appbox googleplay com.autodesk.a360&hl=en]

Colorfy
Colorfy has plenty of designs and templates for you to add colour to, and best of all,don’t burn any data – making this the perfect travelling companion that can finally replace Instagram and save some precious bytes. [appbox googleplay com.fungamesforfree.colorfy]
Google Handwriting Input
This is perfect if you’re tired of typing on sterile QWERTY, if your phone is flat on a tablet and you’ve only got one free hand, or if you’re a real hipster and just like to be different. [appbox googleplay com.google.android.apps.handwriting.ime&hl=en_GB]
Squid
This app is all about handwritten notes, only with a focus on PDF files that you can import and then annotate on. It should make providing informal feedback on your friends’ and colleagues’ work much easier, or send digital signatures without the faff of printing and scanning first.It’s pretty great for basic note-taking too, letting you select the kind of paper you prefer, from traditional foolscap spacing to the widely spaced pages you find on your primary school books. You even have grid sheets for graphs and, accounts, musical scores, sports court maps and lists. So a digital Filofax, basically. [appbox googleplay com.steadfastinnovation.android.projectpapyrus]
Adobe Photoshop Express
Our go-to app has to be Adobe Photoshop Express, which enjoys greater accuracy when highlighting specific objects to manipulate and edit. Great results are that much easier to get with a stylus that they are solely by using your fingers. Sure, Photoshop Express will never rival the sheer number of tools and features available in the full-fat desktop PC version of Photoshop, but you’ll probably never find a better companion to make edits on the move.

SketchBook Mobile

Draw Rider
Draw Rider is somewhat of a classic and was known as a computer game before being ported to Android. The only issue with not using a stylus is that it can be a little hard to draw accurately. If you want to create your own stages for the game, using the S Pen will make things a whole lot more precise. Even if you didn’t play the Draw Rider computer game, this app will appeal to both new and old users. [appbox googleplay com.Studio17.drawrider&hl=en]
Fruit Ninja (Game)
Fruit Ninja was all the craze five years ago, but maybe it’s time to bring it back, thanks to the ultimate pseudo-sword sheathed away in your phone. With a stylus in hand, you can be ridiculously accurate, and you’ll be sure to hit all the combos you want. Time to make Fruit Ninja great again. [appbox googleplay com.halfbrick.fruitninjafree]
Scribble Racer (Game)
Styli might not scream fun, but thanks to Scribble Racer, you can have fun with your S Pen. The game asks you to navigate a road with your stylus. You pick up fruits and prizes along the way to boost your score, but be careful not to ram into the wall — you’ll be dead in a minute. Scribble Racer is free, but with ads, so if you want them to disappear, you’ll have to pay $1, which isn’t so bad. It’s a super fun game that’ll take you back to your arcade days.

Lecture Notes
[appbox googleplay com.acadoid.lecturenotes] MyScript Collection consists of MyScript Calculator, MyScript Stylus, and MyScript Smart Notes. All three of these apps are fairly basic apps in their genre. However, these are made specifically for stylus users. In particular, MyScript Calculator has gained a bit of momentum. It works by allowing you to write out your equation and the app helps you solve it. These are a few really good stylus apps that are worth checking out. Especially for academics and students. Alternative: MyScript Stylus (Beta) [appbox googleplay com.visionobjects.stylusmobile.v3_2_store&hl=en]
Learn How To Draw
Learn How to Draw is an app that helps teach you how to draw. The focus is mostly around how to draw people in a comic book format. It features tutorials for beginners, intermediates, and there are even some expert level tutorials as well. The tutorials were written by Will Sliney, a noted comic book artist. There are hundreds of pages of tutorials along with an interface to draw them yourself. It’s pretty good for only $0.99. [appbox googleplay com.learn.howtodraw.draw] That’s all, folks.
