Must Have Android Apps and Games?

McGeough123 · 15-07-2013 11:35AM

New Star Soccer and Pocket League Story 2 are two very good and addictive games.

Lads quick question: is there any point keeping all those receipts for the different apps? I have tonnes of Google Play receipts. Worth keeping just to be on the safe side or a complete waste of space?

Never needed to go back to them, but they go to my gmail account, so never needed to delete them either.

I've had 3 different rooted phones over the last 3 years and never had an issue with IMDB

the issue was it wouldn't tell me what was on in cinemas near me.it kept telling me my location was uk.it didn't do that before i started installing roms on it.
maybe I'm wrong but that's what i was blaming anyway.
i have a non rooted s3 at the moment and again imdb and everything else works ffine.

and now that i think of it flight radar was the same.it never worked while rom was installed.

Webcam software?

Yeah, there are many to choose from, but are there any that still allow you to connect and view the audio/video while the screen is off? I want to set up a view at home and be able to connect while travelling. Don't want or need the screens on all the time. It just avwaste of power.

Not a bad idea. I don't want to have to set up multiple gmail accounts, though. All my phones will be using my primary gmail.

I'm pretty sure the audio will still work even with the screen off.....

Magic. IP Webcam on the webcam phone and tinyCam Monitor on my viewer phone. tinyCam can even monitor multiple cameras. Perfect.

Blimey. I see Google Play has gotten another makeover.

Did I miss something? It gotten a make over a couple of weeks, maybe a month back. For the worse that is...

It was shown off in May but was only pushed out today. We're talking about play.google.com rather than the app.

Should never have changed its name from the Android Market.

donspeekinglesh · 16-07-2013 10:42AM

And they've ruined it. Can't see which apps are currently installed, update them, uninstall them, etc. Can't filter reviews.
Google seem be be busy taking away every feature/service I use these days.

Saw it now... I slowly realise the reason why I don't miss windows phone so much lately cause everything Google makes begins to look like it.

You shouldn't really criticise it until you've at least explored all the functionality!

Click on Apps -> Menu Button -> My Apps -> From there you have 2 x Tabs:

1. Installed - Apps currently installed on your device
2. All - Apps you previously installed on this device or other devices using the same gmail log in. You can easily push previously installed apps to the new device from here, and you can also remove apps from this list by clicking on the "x" beside them.

EDIT: just noticed you are talking about play.google.com not the android app..

Where is this magic menu button?

They finally added the option to view/add/delete apps from your wishlist on play.google.com!

You can view your apps in the "My Apps" tab, but it says that I have installed some apps that I don't any more. The search are fairly cramped.

No Menu button here. Just click on Apps on the left and then there is a button for 'My Apps'. Still looks very clunky!

nedd · 16-07-2013 12:16PM

something seems to be missing from the new view. It used to tell me which apps i have installed on all of my devices. Now it just lists all apps i have ever installed alphabetically.

If by something you mean lots of things then yes.

Nothing in particular. I'm using Samsung app but, just looking to change and see what others recommend.

I like Google Play Music. Some nice cloud storage and streaming options, as well as a nice clean interface.

RangeR · 16-07-2013 02:48PM

Heavily recommend Google Music app. Stream your music form the cloud is very liberating. No more taking up space on the device.

BopNiblets · 16-07-2013 03:13PM

Google Music +1, apart from the annoying skewed album artwork bug!
Took me ages to upload about ~7000 album covers, correct as many ID3 tags, then they update the app and the artwork is skewed
I was thoroughly flipped off.
