Samsung Galaxy Tab 2

Complete novice here. I bought a Galaxy Tab 2 for my wife...she would like to begin keeping in touch with family and friends using Skype video. She'd also like to load her photos onto the Galaxy. Check her email. And listen to Tuned In Radio streams. That's it.
The Galaxy screen now has about 40 icons on it, and I would really like to simplify it, but not sure how to do that.
I downloaded something called GO LAUNCHER, but that seemed to make things more complicated.
Is there any easy way to simplify the screen so it has these icons only:

Skype, Yahoo Mail, Dropbox (for her photos), Internet Explorer (she occasionally tries to surf the web), Tuned In Radio (already downloaded), Xfinity TV (already downloaded.

Thanks.

 

took me several hours, but I more or less figured it out....lots of pressing and holding down buttons and dragging icons into trash cans!

 

thanks!

 

While I don't have a Galaxy tablet I do have a Galaxy phone, and it has several home screens. They work like multiple desktops on a computer.... I have organized mine so one has games, one has multimedia, one has commerce/banking, one has emails/IM (including Skype) and so on.

If a Samsung tablet can't do what a Samsung phone can, something has gone terribly wrong with that company.

Also, everything David said.

 

Thanks again to you and everyone on this site....always very helpful to us novices!
My wife is thrilled with her tablet....she doesn't use it's fully range of capabilities for sure, but it reall is suited for the limited uses she does have for it!

 

Unfortunately, the Samsung galaxy tabs aren't as popular in the US as they should be. The iPad is more responsive to touch and is more accessible though. I currently have both.
