Where do you get Polaris Office and is it available for purchase or is it still free? I know it was on the Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus.

Try Kingsoffice its fantastic.

Given that Google bought quick office, I would at least consider it since it's likely to evolve into the de facto standard for the android platform.

Using Quickoffice HD its the best looking and easiest to use in my experience.

best for me has been office suite. The advantages are many including opening password protected files

Quick Office HD... if you buy it on the Play store you have to side load it...otherwise you can buy it on Amazon and it installs without issue.

I prefer documents to go. Its the only one of the major office apps out there that worked flawlessly with some of my gigantic excel spread sheets. All the others crashed or failed to load properly these spreadsheets.

Kingsoft Office works for me. Free too.

why not google docs/drive?

Why can I not find Polaris anywhere?! I've tried their site, Google play, and even ripping the apk from my Transformer Prime...still no dice. Any ideas?

I use Smart Office 2, it was a sale on play for something like £1-£2, tried kingsoffice on the Sony tablet S I used to have, but it was too laggy for me, SO2 worked great on that then and now.
It has the 'swish' factor plus use can share in all the usual places, as well as the usual doc, docx etc.

Documents to go is another app to look at as well. It includes word, excel, powerpoint, and a pdf reader

What is the best pdf reader for the note 2 ?

Hello there, I was a long time iphone user and goodreader for ios was a bomb and ever since I switched to the gs3 and the note 2 I can't find a pdf reader like goodreader, so guy can you tell me the best pdf reader on the note 2 ?

Try ezpdf or repligo
Fast smooth and has a ton of features.

I like repligo...

I have used Adobe Reader for years and never had complaints about this app personaly.

I think Adobe's own Reader does the job very well.
The other one I like is ezPdf. It has some decent annotation options,

+1 EzPdf.

The Amazon Kindle reader is the best.

If you are often reading pdfs with many and large pics you might want to try perfect viewer with pdf plugin...

I'm a law student and my court cases are in pdf form. The best one I've used so far is ezPDF. It's really worth paying for.

I been using perfect viewer with pdf plugin for comics and work its super lag free for larger files and it saves a lot of app space like pdf and cbz or cbr all under one app.. market link https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.rookiestudio.perfectviewer

Good movie and TV app... live and free

Latest movie downloads etc. .. Thanks for any help.
Sent from my GT-N7105 using xda premium

You can get some from the Play Store, Amazon, Netflix and Hulu. Also if you have ROKU, I believe there is an app for that too. Yes those are all paid, but it is a place to start. Also, most networks (at least in the US) have either an app or way to view shows on/from them.
I do hope that you are not asking about torrent sites and how to use them. If you are, then Google is your friend and please do not post such on XDA.

I'm doing Netflix hulu and the occasional red box instead of cable right now, saving a bloody fortune streaming media to my smart tv from my note

Xbmc then add navix plug in and you will get all tv series, movies etc.

I'm looking for apps. .. Nothing I need to buy hardware for. .. I live in Canada so Hulo etc don't work well here. Thanks.

So you want completely free, "latest" releases and current tv series all through an app.... Let me know if you find anything because I've stuck my head in that hole and there's no turtle to be found.

There should be a decent streaming video app somewhere

I haven't heard of any that are free... Why wouldn't Netflix work well in Canada, the Internet is the Internet no matter where you are.

What is the best Office app for android In Your Opinion?

I am looking for the best office app (paid or free) which doesn't lag and have rich feature, like we can make table, customize font, align text, etc.
I tried QuickOffice but still lag when typing and scrolling, Office Suite 7 is better and have a ton of features too, but it still lag.
Google drive seems okay, no lag, but it lack of feature and cannot edit or view my documents in internal storage.
To moderator: if I posted this in wrong section please move it, cause I am confused between post this on Q&A or theme and apps.

I am using Office Suite Pro 7 now, but a bit lag while scrolling pages.
Web view of it works fine tho, but looking for more fluid office viewer and editor.
I will try skydrive and kingsoft office tomorrow.
Thanks guys for your help

google drive just updated. Now it allows u to store files offline.

Paid for officesuite, and have tried a bunch of others but nothing seems to really feel right to me. I use Evernote and format on my laptop but officesuite served its purpose for me. I fried my laptop right before finals about 2 years ago.....it saved my semester
