so the z-fold three videos have been going down really well recently so why not take a look at my
best android apps for the galaxy z43 of 2022. so i'm gonna kick the episode off with a bit of
a controversial one so there's tons of apps out there that we all know about but tend
to ignore for one of two reasons first reason they're just bad or the second reason is that
there's much better competitors out there and i'm thinking spotify for example hear me out on this
one amazon prime music now there's one reason and one reason alone that made me think okay i'm gonna
give this one a go and that is because currently they have an offer on giving you three months
of free amazon prime music so my thinking was that surely it's gonna be good enough to get me
through three months and it's gonna save me three months on my spotify payments and you know what
it's actually not half bad so it's got a really nice clean simple ui it's very easy to navigate
very easy to find your way around yes there are things that i do miss about spotify for example
my release radar i listen to that every single friday i absolutely love it but it has actually
got me through at least a month now of not really missing spotify too much if i'm honest it has
a really good library of different artists and genres so for a lot of you for the sake of saving
yourself what 7 14 21 22 pounds it might actually be worth it and that brings us on to our question
of the day spotify or amazon prime music the slightly cheaper alternative is it actually worth
it or is it just a complete waste of time let me know in the comment section what you think now
our next app is one that will specifically benefit you if you own a z fold three and that is swiftkey
now this one was brought to my attention by a couple of subscribers on my latest galaxy z43
review video and what it will do is actually make your galaxy z43 cover display experience
a hell of a lot easier and just better all round this keyboard in my opinion is a lot better than
the stock samsung keyboard and it also comes with a bunch of cool customization features
for example you can get this cool gray and orange theme that i'm rocking here and to be
honest because it looks so good and feels so good i think this is going to be my go-to keyboard for
the foreseeable future now not only am i enjoying it on the cover display i'm also enjoying it on
the inner display i think it's better all round so definitely check this one out and let me know
down in the comments what you think of swiftkey has it made your z fold 3 experience better or
do you prefer the stock android keyboard next up is a finance app now this isn't an app specific
to the z-fold three it's just an essential app that i always have on all of my phones and that
is the curve app so what curve is is essentially a digital wallet we've spoken about it many times on
the channel before you can store all of your debit cards all of your loyalty cards and credit cards
all on one card you'll get sent a free physical card unless you pay for the metal version like i
do this is the curved red metal card so once you get your card you can pick up to six different
retailers to earn one percent cash back on for example i use amazon and i even use curve with
my business card so i get one percent cash back on all of my purchases even the ones i make for tech
it easy so i actually made quite a decent amount of money back using it and the features don't stop
there you've also got the go back in time feature which allows you to move payments from one card to
another up to 30 days after making a purchase and then there's also the anti-embarrassment mode so
if you say have your barclay card loaded up and you go to pay for something at the checkout
you haven't got enough money in there it will automatically move that purchase
onto a different card that you have stored on your curve card preventing you from getting declined at
the checkout and as the name suggests preventing any embarrassing moments curve for me has been an
essential tool for budgeting and just everyday use to be honest so there will be a link down
below i think if you sign up at the moment you get five pounds and one percent cash back it's
definitely worth trying out in my opinion it could save you quite a bit of money next app is maybe
one that is quite obvious or not it's actually the kindle app so kindle isn't just a physical
tablet for reading books on it's also an app that you can download to your z-fold three and because
of the book like folding display on the z full three it makes it an even better experience so
i'm pretty sure you all know what kindle does now it allows you to browse purchase and store books
and then you can just read them straight off your phone and with samsung's new extra dim feature
that we covered in my one ui 4.0 video it makes reading a lot easier on the eyes especially at
night time in my opinion this app goes really nicely with the kindle unlimited plan i think
if you sign up to that you get like a month's free or something with that so if you are into
reading books definitely check that out now if you don't like reading but do you like your books
you can also try out audible this is one that i've recently tried out and i've absolutely loved it
especially at night time me and my partner both listen to them it's not very specific to the z
folk 3 and i'm pretty sure you know what it does now they're all audio books and if you sign up i
think you get one or two free audio books to download and keep forever so i'll put a link
to that down below too you can definitely try that one out very very much worth it in my opinion and
even if you don't have a z full three it's worth getting it anyway next up is an app essential for
all creators and designers this one is called pigment it's a very simple app but it does a
lot of ground work for you this is personally how i built my whole tech and easy branding
basically what you do is input a color so you find your starting point and then you just tap the plus
button and it'll bring up other recommendations that fit in with that initial starting palette
it's a really great app and if you are a graphic designer this could actually prove
to be a really essential tool for your workflow we won't spend any more time on this one because
i appreciate it's for quite a niche audience but definitely try this one out i personally found it
very useful moving on we've got an app for those of you who like to change their wallpapers up
this is the 4d parallax wallpapers app it does what it says on the tin really if you want a
more dynamic exciting wallpaper for your z fold three this is the place to go it will use your
phone's gyro to give you that sort of parallax 4d effect and in my opinion these sorts of wallpapers
just look awesome on the z43s in a display if you're not keen on potentially wasting a bit of
extra battery life you can always try this app out this is a little bit of a bonus one for you
this is war wrap the ui is super clean really easy to navigate and it has some really good preview
features for those awesome 2d wallpapers i get a lot of the wallpapers that you see on the channel
from here so i'll put a link to both of those apps down in the description underneath the wallpaper
section before we move off this one though if you have seen any wallpapers that you think you
might quite fancy you can always join the discord server there is a wallpapers tab there where i put
a lot of the wallpapers you've seen in my video thumbnails and in the videos themselves down there
for you to download so definitely check that out it'd be really nice to have you in the discord
server as well so next up we've got a couple more creative apps the first one i want to talk about
is canva this one is for those of you who sort of struggle with creative software it simplifies
everything and gives you a bunch of templates for making things like youtube thumbnails instagram
posts and even video ads for your business so it might be aimed at those who do struggle
with photoshop for example it's actually a great place to pick up some inspiration for your youtube
thumbnails i personally have actually signed up to the premium plan for this although i know
photoshop like the back of my hand and even use it for my full-time job canva has actually been great
for giving me a bit of inspiration on suggesting me new fonts and layouts from my thumbnails and
the best thing is it is free you don't actually have to pay for the premium version to make use
of it the free version actually comes with plenty of thumbnail templates and free bits and bobs to
use on your thumbnails or whatever you want to use canva for again there will be a link to this down
below let me know what you think next up we've got one perfectly suited for the galaxy z43s in a
display now since the z43 came with s pen support it'd be pretty rude to ignore the opportunities
for that in display when it comes to the s pen so this one is ibis paint x it's a free painting
app that offers tons of great features including over 7 000 gpu accelerated brushes you've also got
features like rulers blend modes and even a layer system much like photoshop one feature that really
stood out to me though was the stabilizer tool for getting those really nice smooth lines this is an
incredible app especially considering it's free i have to admit though my painting days are very
much behind me now moving on is an app for the productivity nuts out there this is trello now
i've spoken about trello several times on my channel before it's an essential tool for me
for keeping on top of my channel and i even use it now at work because it's just such a good tool
so i did have this on my note 10 plus but because the z43 has such a great inner display
it gives you an almost desktop-like experience essentially what you can do is create different
cards different sections add labels add tasks and just keep yourself really organized this is where
i do my channel plans for example this is how i organize mine i have my video ideas on the left
once i start them i move them along once they're finished i move them to the publish section and
then i also have things like additional tasks say if i need to do a tax return or something like that
then that will go in that section it's a really great little app and it has tons of customization
options and the best part is it is free next up we've got a couple of games for the z-fold three
so if you want to check out some really great games to play on your new folding phone check
the link over on the right hand side now also if you want to know more about the z-fold 3 itself
check out my latest 2022 review for the z fold 3. for now though i've been alex this has been
tech it easy thank you so much for watching and hopefully i'll see you in the next one
