[ZenFone 2 General] tatubias:
Guys i have being playing around with the phone for 3 or 4 days. My first impression as every one was WTF 4562398562389476 Bloatware apps installed. And i did remove all of them or disabled them. (im using original rom). I have also removed all the GAAPS, cleaner and all that stuff from the phone.

But it crossed from my mind why not to check ASSUS apps.

Splendid: This aps gives you full control of the display. You can enable blue light filter, vivid color mod, you can control hue and saturation, the temperature of the image also. its a very complete app and its not bad at all.

SystemUpdate: There is not much to say there but with one click you can receive the OTA updates. Quick and easy (and works lol).

Themes: it does what it is. you can apply in a easy way new themes. it gives you the option too, you can share your creation with ASUS and they may include yours into this.

Weather: As it says the name this is an app that shows the weather from were you are its very complete and its stylish. also has a good looking widget.

MiniMovie This app is for making videos "presentations" from photos that you have on your phone. you can add text music. is easy its not bad at all. i do not use this kind of apps but i may stat using it ;). also when you finish editing you can share to whats up, or upload into youtube, etc.

Music: This app is the music players it has nothing special it does what is expected not bad at all. also has an option that you can connect to cloud storages to listen your music.

MyAsus Its an app that let you connect to asus and open tickets to them ask questions etc. also you can access zen forum. there is not much interesting here more than you can open support tickets to them. i did open asking for update 5.1.1 and it took like 2 days to reply but they did. Also they send you news like the IFA event form today.

Pc link: This application lets you mirror the screen from the phone into your windows desktop. its not bad at all. there you can controll all your phone, also take snapshot, make videos , etc. its not bad at all.

Photo Collage: This apps let you make Collage with taken photos, or downloaded ones. its easy and quick not bad at all. lots of options. you can modify the colage how is made. add text effects colors etc. when you save you can share through watsapp or any app.

Power Saver: This app lets you configure may aspects of battery consumptions. also let syou set battery modes .

FlashLight: This app turns on your led to use it as a flashlight also you can turn on the display for more light. SOS message and some other thinks . this app is not very good it does drains your battery if you turn off the LED and you left the app opened. so close the app when you stop using it. There is not need all this options we only want turn on the led to use the celphone as a flashlight.

FM RADIO: I have not tested due i did not connected a head phone yet. but it should be good.

Kids Mode: I have not used it but its good one. you can configure the phone to have only some apps that kids can use.

Asus Mobile Manager: I have mixed feelins with this app. it does make some short cuts to the ui or other apps. but what can you do there is. you can configure not to start apps when the celphone boots. also you can make applications not to send notifications. You can clean the memory from apps loaded. And go to the Battery saver app.

Audio Wizard Basically you can select music modes presets

Auto Start Manager: This app is shown inside Asus Mobile Manager. it lets you block apps to start when the celphone boots.

Camera: This is the camera app there are lots of review. it has tons of options its very good.

Asus Cover: This app lets you configure the Flip cover when its installed on the phone. i dont have one so there its not much to do here.

Email: Im very happy with this app i have connected to Outlook server and it works grate it has tons of options very complete. Probably it is not the best but its ok for most users.

Calendar: tis a calendar its very good also. i have synchronized to outlook sever works perfect tons of options to configure.

Regarding the ASUS IU. its great its fluid and you can tweak all aspects from the interface. you can modify fonts, effects, colors etc. it may be not as complet as nova or similar launchers. but for most of us the job is well done.

There are some others apps that i still have disabled. like:

Mirror:(its enable the front camera (selfie))

Remote link: allows you control your pc from the cellphone. (this is not bad at all if you need it)

Party link: i think it was like an app to share contact in a party but the other person should have the app installed also. The idea is not bad but too complicated to send a contact.

ShareLink: Dont remeber waht was this.

SuperNote: An app to do notes. im using other so i don´t have any opinion on this. But should not be bad at all.

WhatsNext: its like shows you what you have to do next in your calendar. its like a shot cut to your schedule.

ZenCircle and ZenTalk don´know like something "SOCIAL"

Giving a thought what i can say of ASUS apps. they are not bad at all i was expecting very bad apps. and they are being updated so it may be good to give them a try. they are balanced for productivity and leasure. they are quick and elegant. what i can say thumbs up for almost all of them ;)

i cant deny they are A LOT.
