Hi,
Looking G for the best app for sports results & fixtures, league tables etc. One that includes odds would be handy but I'm happy with one without odds if it's better all round.
Currently using livescore but it's only for current fixtures.

Flashscore is great. Has live tables, odds. Fairly complete app.

Depends on the sports really, Fotmob pro is probably the best for football, flashscores I like for golf, twitter probably best for Gaa results.

SofaScore for football

Does anyone know if there are any apps available to set you Wear watch to take a heart rate reading at certain intervals?

I think I remember someone asking on Boards before but I can't seem to find it.

Looks interesting, how useful is it for irish specific stuff. For example could I get notifications about GAA related games perhaps?

Epic War 2 TD is currently 10c on Google Play

Worth a go at that price, especially if you like tower defencev games.

Had a log mess around with that app. Seems like it's not ready for this side of the Atlantic yet.
Great idea though.

Nice one. I love tower defence games! Just came on here to see if anyone had any recommendations now that I've finished Kingdom Rush. Keep them coming!

Is there a good app that lets your phone act as a universal remote control for a number of devices such as tv, stereo etc?

Peel remote or SURE. You need an IR blaster for most devices. Peel is the nicer one of those apps so try that first.

Sony have an app for their phones called TV Sideview it's primarily a TV listing app but it also has a feature which lets me control my Wifi enabled Blu Ray player (also a Sony)
On this BD player I can also access casting controls from the Netflix and Youtube apps on my phone. I imagine this is doable among many smart tvs Bluray players etc.

donegal. · 13-04-2016 11:23AM

you need either equipment that connects to wifi,
or
a phone with a built in ir blaster,
or
harmony remotes have an expensive little device that'll do it .

Don't know an individual app but sky+ for remote controlling tv ( you will have to stand up and turn tv on) if you have sky. Unified Remote to control your pc.
A Bluetooth receiver to play any music on your phone or tablet through your stereo.

I think there was an update to Sky that allows the box turn your TV on and off over the HDMI cable (if your tv supports it, my 2 year old Samsung does)

I think your are right. I think my tv does turn on but only when I take the sky box out of standby.

Mark Tapley · 13-04-2016 02:26PM

I have a laptop connected to the TV and find a wireless Xbox 360 controller is a good remote for watching Netflix and stuff. If you combine it with xpadder you can decide which buttons do what.

Edit sorry forgot this was android apps and games.

Had been trying this out the last few days on apps like Facebook and WhatsApp as I have my security set to allow instant unlock in certain places like home, work, the car. Works a treat, don't see any reason why the free version wouldn't suit most people. Worked perfectly each time.

I've tried both this one, and the app lock facility within Clean Master, but neither of them work for me. I know the App Locker is installed, as when I install any new app, it asks me if I want to lock it. But there is no app lock, as even the apps marked as locked just open up freely every time.

Any ideas?

GustavoFring · 14-04-2016 10:37PM

Haven't come across that problem at all. I have noticed the odd time it might take a split second to give the prompt for the fingerprint.

Yeah I like that too, gets bad reviews because people are expecting a streaming app, morons. Turn it to landscape to see what channels things are on.

Where's the match is spot on!
