Yup, only works on phones unless it has a SIM I think.

A buddy of mine showed me the Simpsons: Tapped Out game yesterday, so picked it up and played it last night and today. I can see why people get addicted to these things, it's very good and very very addictive...

Qualcomm have released a beta version of their Snapdragon battery managing app. If you have battery issues and run a snapdragon processor then this might be useful. It learns the usage patterns of your phone and tries to conserve battery based off of these.

Swiftkey has updated to version 4. Free upgrade for those who already own the app, includes flow (which is like swype).

Best keyboard app for android got a little bit better in my mind (plus you can download the Irish language if you want).

Note: might not yet be updated to V4 here, at home my appstore thinks I'm in America :pac:

It does with flow disabled. Otherwise it gets confused as to if youre trying to type so they just turned it off

I'll see how it goes. I've been pretty happy with stock galaxy note 2 keyboard using swipe on that. All the times before I tried swift key it worked great in the start then started ducking up later so ended up deleting it. Will see how it goes this time. Swipe working ok anyway.

I think we all know what ducking stands for at this stage

Live score addicts is great, I never miss a notification (they frequently never arrived with other similar apps).

I just installed Swiftkey 4 last night. I had tried Swype before and uninstalled it (didn't work as well as Swiftkey, and took up about 4 times as much memory), so I was all ready to revert back to Swiftkey 3. However I like v4 a lot, it's a big improvement on v3, which itself was already great.

I'm enjoying The Simpsons: Tapped Out.
Wish there was easier ways to get donuts though.

There is buy them hehe, there was a hacked app but EA fixed the loops though.

It ducks up the game though so I find it silly. You can fly through the game if you have more donuts

What is the aim if the 'game'? I'm struggling to figure it out tbh

Build the Simpsons town? Recover lost characters
I don't have a lot of time to play games. So the requirement of only getting on once every couple of hours is great

Yeah, you can get other apps that work similarly (i.e pay to advance quicker by buying special items) and although you progress more slowly, if you enjoy the games, there are a lot of them out there that don't require you to pay to play and can keep you entertained if you have a few of them.

I play the simpsons ones now but used to play myclinic for android which you can win the special items by spinning a wheel (winning streak style) and you have a reasonable chance of winning the gold coins. I never paid anything and by the time I stopped playing had a few hundred of the coins and could buy anything I wanted.

I made a politics.ie app that goes to the mobile site if anyone wants it:

Admittedly, it would be more popular over there :P

Ok my boards.ie touch app is up now.

Thanks! looking good.

So the ads i'm seeing within the threads of boards while using this app are from boards alone?
