    It can be installed alright. But I can confirm it can only be used on one at a time. It requires a text message pin code to enable activation.

    Yup. It takes a bit longer as well because you need to leave the app waiting for the text which it wont get and then it asks for the code from the text. It will disable the other instance of whatsapp on your other device.

    I'm swapping between phones a lot, I must check the charge for these texts! My HTC seems to never reverify but the BlackBerry always does.

    Installed it, set it up, it says recording, but when I go to play back the file, there's no audio

    Good catch. It redraws the screen and re-downloads the data. This only takes a second for most screens, but the Dublin Bus server they have is fairly slow, so can be annoying.

    I'll see what I can do for the next release.

    If you purchase it through the web page, you don't have to download today. It will be in the cloud and be available to you forever (I think).

    What app are you getting?

    Angry Birds! :P Maybe world of goo as well. Don't really play games on my s3, had angry birds ages ago but the idea of it ad free now is appealing. I've swiftkey paid for a long time ago. Must have a good look through the rest.

    Someone posted an app that can be used to sync game data between devices and I can't for the life of me find it anywhere, been reading threads for ages and no sign of it.

    So would anyone happen to know the name of the app or a similar app I can use. Basically I want to be able to play a game on my Nexus 4 then when I pick up my Nexus 7 be able to continue from where I left off. Or at least have most of the game data/saves?

    Thanks in advance :-)

    I think play games does this.

    I took a look at that but I can't seem to find a way to sync my data. From looking at play games it's up to the developers to implement syncing. The particular game I'm playing at the minute is hungry shark evo and it's listed under play games because I've logged into the game using Google+ but it's not got any sync data.

    This app that was posted is a generic sync app, as far as I can see. That will take any app data and sync it between devices. I might just email the hungry shark guys and get them to implement it :-P

    If you are rooted, Titanium backup will do this. But its a little manual.

    That looks like the job, thanks! I didn't realise it was a rooted app though :-(

    Thanks for all the suggestions

    Not sure if it has already been mentioned but the official RTE player app is now in the play store. Looks pretty good as well!

    How does one get the free daily app on Amazon? It appears to be confined to US customers?

    Make sure you have downloaded the app from the uk site here.

    Once you have that installed you should be able to get any free app from either the UK or US promotions.

    It's for version 4.4 but that still means version 5 won't be called Key Lime Pie either.

    Parody of apple for Android KitKat 4.4

    BBC iPlayer For Android Updated To Version 2.0, Debuts Video Downloads And Android 4.3 Support -- AndroidPolice link.

    You will need a uk based VPN to download (and use these here) from the Appstore + The media player has also been update. Manually required update on both.

    Apptoide doesn't have the updated version yet.

    Thanks for that John but tried using Hola and Tunnelbear as a VPN to hide my location but Google Play still says I am not in the UK, could you advise me as to what I need to do as I'm anxious to update my iplayer so I can avail of the downloads option?

    I just connected to BestUKVPN and loaded the Playstore, then I manually found the apps in the list of all apps and pressed update. The store still thought I was in Ireland but still allowed me to update the apps.

    If that doesn't work use the link below that Captain Morgan provided.
