    for anybody who plays fpl fantasy football (fantasy.premierleague.com), fantasy football buddy is a fantastic little app, free version or ad free for one euro something i think. Great when your head is ringing on a Saturday morning and need to make that last second change
    Is that an officail app or what? Is there anything you cant do, in terms of functionality/transfers/info that you can on the web? I've been having connection issues with their website on my phone so this could sort it out for me.

    not official as far as i know. only real thing you can't do is view list of gameweek fixtures, though each player has opponent team in brackets for present gameweek, plus by clicking on player info you can see next 3 fixtures. So it's not really an issue, unless you were playing your wildcard, in which case you might want to use the main site to study fixtures

    I got the lite version there. Had a quick look, seems to work fine so far.

    Handier than using the site if you've a small screen.

    Heres link if anyone else is getting it

    If you go to the market on PC there's a link for staff picks for tablet apps on the first page.

    Does it not just show compatible apps when you browse the market on the tablet? I don't have one so I'm not sure about that.

    Is there an app that lets you send Meteor webtexts quickly and easily? I see this one, but it only has 3 reviews so not sure if it's legit?

    edit: cabbage seems to do the job.

    IMO unfortunately none of the Android apps are as good as Instagram. They 'say' they are coming out with an Android version but its now been several months and Nothing!

    Magic Hour is pretty good IMHO, but doesn't have the web hosting option of Instagram, although with Android you don't need it. ;)

    Re the 7 digital app.

    I'm a 7 digital customer but only downloaded their app yesterday after reading about it here.

    Buying an album today and noticed you can't use paypal on the app.

    Or am I missing something?

    Linked to your Google account as far as i know. Same for nearly all other paid Android apps. Do you not have a card linked to your Google account

    They've just updated it and integrated a widget that lets you see your players and score without opening the browser. Handy. You can even set the refresh interval and do manual refreshes from the widget.

    I was always of the belief that games on phones were a bit silly , until i discoverd stickyman golf & iRunner :D

    such simple but brilliantly made games that keep you entertained . People downloading the likes of gta and modern warfare i still think is a tad nonsensical but each to their own .

    I only have four games ; Stickyman , i runner , angry birds & word feud .

    God blast you, you've ruined my life

    For geeks: flash cyanogenmod and adjust brightness levels manually depending on current ambient lux level.

    I want emails to hit my phone when they're sent, so manual data sync isn't an option. Granted, email is the only thing I care about in that regard.

    Thats very strange. It seems it might have been removed. Maybe on request of the PL. The app is still working, thankfully

    Try this one instead. Before it disappears!

    I've got an app for that that was taken off the app store for obvious reasons but since Netflix came out I haven't looked at it.

    Seriously, pay the 7 euros it is well well worth it. Dexter, Breaking Bad, 24 and some excellent documentaries and some good movies obviously. Much better than sh11ty streaming sites waiting forever to buffer at 240p compared to Netflix.

    Shows you that when the Movie Industry does do something right they can put a dent on illegal ways of obtaining material besides the foolish road they're going down now i.e SOPA.
