I did this a while ago sharing the apps that I had on my Nokia Lumia 928 Windows Phone (phone provided to me by Windows Phone Team), but I also carry a Samsung Note 3 smartphone (phone provided to me by Samsung) and so I thought I would share what apps are currently installed on it as well for those of you who are Android users.
These are the apps installed, but that does not necessarily mean I use them. It means I found them interesting enough to download, but sometimes I am slow to actually try them out.
