Why are we being rode on the exchange rate?

Not only exchange rate but EU tax on the apps as well!

You can install Superuser straight from the Play store but you still need to root first or its useless as far as I know.

It's aa root method I'm after that's not overly complicated to do.

Download supersu 2.46, a quick Google will get you a link.

Put it on the device somewhere.

Revolt to recovery.

Find the zip file you downloaded. Flash it.

Device rooted.

Only if you have a custom recovery and not the locked down stock one that devices come with. Installing a custom recovery requires you to unlock the bootloader which will wipe the device.

Not on the vsu6 that he wants to root.

Hoping it is as good as Strangers Wrath

Is this a platformer or similar to Strangers Wrath? I played the original 2 games way back in the day and they were fantastic, but Strangers Wrath was not my cup of tea.

Looks like a 3D game with steep enough minimum requirements. Click the link.

Have to say, trick shot was one off the most enjoyable games I played in a while.

Mr E · 18-11-2015 10:38PM

Same here. I played through it twice.

Some levels were impossibly hard, while they next one was dead easy, I was surprised at my own perseverance, only having to youtube one solution (for shame, I know I know)

Was definitely my favourite time killer this year, big thanks for the recommendation dude.

Failed root numerous times, not comfortable methods other than one click root so left it altogether.

Is the mobile version not poor in comparison?

Not as detailed as the pc version but it suits me as I don't have endless hours to be doing interviews and studying the opposition. I'm going to hold out for the touch version which is more advanced than the mobile version and stick it on my Yoga 2.

I use this app a lot to control my PC in bed when watching stuff. Fully recommended.

This is my first ever Android thingy and I LOVE it can't stop playing it.

Very addictive to try and get farther. It's possibly something very basic and simplistic for a hardcore Gamer who may be able to get to 100% straightaway but I like it. : ) Very cool on my big-ass-Pencil-case-size humongous screen may I say.

The Unbeatable Game Unchained

Excited now to find more equally cool things but the GooglePlay Store is shyte to use from what I can gather. I can't find a way to segregate free games.

Yeah I can kind-of see where I'm going a bit better now looking at the Store on Laptop and things do have prices listed when ya go into them. Will get used to it. Thanks for your help.

Not for everyone but it's very popular, highly rated and Ultimate Guitar Tabs & Chords is only €1.12.

I just bought this and then it start asking me to pay more for using the features it advertises in the app store!
Did I take this up wrong?
I've gotten a refund anyway, until I can clarify what I just paid for.

EDIT: It was the "Powerful upgrades (available as an in-app purchase):" part that I missed. Thought they were listed as being in the app as well.

To be honest I don't know. I'm horrified to hear what you say though.

Just realised that Google maps offline mode is now live, handy to save on data.

What app do people use for reminding themselves of stuff in the long term and the short term? Id like to be able to set reminders and have a general "To-do" list.

Actually if Google Calendar had a To-do list it would be perfect...

I use google now for all of my reminders... "OK Google: Set reminder for tomorrow morning: Eat Cereal"

This, or google tasks as they should both integrate with google calendar.

I also use any.do which links into any.cal.
Does the same thing with a different interface. Does a general reminder thing at 9am to setup your day and reminds you what you need to do.

I use GTasks
It integrates with my Google Calendar and vice-versa.

Any Do

Great app, well implemented snooze function, browser version for desktop and a useful any do "moment" every morning where you have to review items that are coming up that day.
