      Looking for a simple clean looking email app for a pop3 work account for my Pixel C as stock Android doesn't have a built in one. I don't really like having it in the Gmail app.

      Any recommendations? I was going to try Boxer after using it on a Oneplus One for the past while, but some of you may know a better one.

      I have been using bluemail for about 4 months and find it excellent

      Lifeline, Lifeline 2 and Lifeline: Silent Night are all 10c each. Seem to be well reviewed.

      Been using Nine for the last couple of years and it's been faultless. Nice looking interface too.

      +1 .. except it'll only accept an Exchange/Outlook.com account, so Google is out - unless you redirect it to one of the above (and if you want you can also set it up as an alias on Outlook.com)

      Not sure if it has been mentioned before, but Black Pants 'Blown Away' is a lot of fun. First 30 levels are free and will keep you going for an hour or two.

      I don't think Nine or Cloudmagic allow POP3.

      Bluemail does

      Horrible on Android/touch imo, bordering on unplayable...

      I got stuck at one of the racing parts that I just couldn't manage with the touch controls.

      I was ok with it up to then. Touch controls for me fundamentally don't do it but I felt they were passable up to that point.

      It's one of the things that fustrates me about Android gaming - systems that are more than capable of handling AAA titles from relativly recently but then the games themselves are hamstrung by poor quality controls.

      Well if you've got the Shield controller its probably perfect, performance wise it seemed fine, I just literally could not get them to go where I wanted or react in fights properly on a touchscreen, and they're 2 of my all time fav games, same for Vice City and San Andreas though, maybe I just hate touchscreen gaming.

      Friend and I had been playing quite a lot of Connect 4 Quads on the Chromecast. It's a very basic game, which is essentially Connect 4, but with blocks as opposed individual pieces and is controlled via your phone that is connected to the Chromecast.

      Surprisingly addictive, or it might be just because we're very competitive.

      So I was playing the once great game Quizup last night and my god they've ruined it, full of advertising, hard to play anyone and really bad design!

      Does anyone know of an app similar to the way it used to be?

      Really? That's super disappointing, because I've sunk quite a lot of time into that app! Not recently, of course!

      Have you tried this, or any of the ones mentioned in the comments?
      I am rooted and use Adaway, so I've not tried any of them.

      Phone isn't rooted, and while the ads are awful it seems nobody is using it anymore as it was very hard to play against anyone, waited 15 minutes on general knowledge and no takers.

      Have you used the app recently?

      No, I haven't. Don't think I will now either, going by the reviews (sorted by newest) too.

      I have a Bluetooth controller, I can get it to connect to the phone but all it does is volume control, back buttons and starting Google music, is there a simple way to remap it so the press of a button simulates a finger tapping the screen, I dont need anything else, Ive looked at a few Bluetooth rremapping apps but tbh they're gibberish and dont seem to work, the reviews seem to agree with me, has anyone ever found one that does?

      Great game. Very addictive. It updated in past 24 hours and now it freezes up every time I play.

      sometimes i find if you exit and start again you may land on a different server which wont lag. Can be very frustrating when you have been building in size nicely!!

      Maestria is now free, no ads or IAPs (it used to be €2)
      A beautiful and very clever puzzle game.

      What's the best battery saving app these days outside of Greenify that requires little input from the user?
