    Samsung WatchON
    SnapChat
    Microsoft Outlook

LINE: Free Calls and Messages

    Clean Master
    Spotify
    Amazon Shopping
    Super-Bright LED Torch
    BBC iPlayer
    PicsArt Photo Studio

Media streaming apps Spotify and iPlayer constantly stream data and consume a lot of power.   Once you turn Samsung's WatchON remote control app on, it remains running in the background.
