Vital for current affairs
Slightly biased as I sort of work with Twitter now, hence I use it minute-to-minute. The content is absolutely essential in modern-day media, from finding out initial pieces of information about an event and reading news, to even looking at statements from politicians - we can only guess who.
When I worked in a newsroom, it was my next port of call to speak to eyewitnesses, or find out something from a far off country, so I can't stress enough how important it is for work. We were able to speak to Ukrainian activists on the ground when the conflict began in 2014 thanks to Twitter.
App-wise, it works relatively fine - the new updates can be problematic as I can't copy the writing and some of the alerts do not get pushed through. I now use Twitter Lite as it takes up less memory space on my phone - it's pretty much the same, but it uses Chrome instead.

Does the work for you
User friendly!
I love using this app. I'm terrible with saving money but with this, I am able to set aside money without really even noticing it's not in my account. I have created several goals for myself that each have different rules regarding how money will be distributed into them. It definitely cane in handy this summer when I was off work (teacher) and needed some money. A quick transfer from my savings was all I needed! It does take a few days for money to be taken out of your bank and sent to Qapital and the other way around, but for me, that stops me from taking money from my savings for impulse buys... I need to think about it I really need what I'm moving money for.

Love this habit forming app!
You can set yourself challenges and either work alone or with a buddy/group to create new daily habits and achieve daily goals! You also get a character and can dress him using coins you earn. Alongside a character you can also find and hatch pets with magic potions, and feed them, too. All these items are dropped randomly,as rewards for achieving daily goals.
It’s a fun way to meet new people, and better your life by practising daily habits and conpleting challenges in order to accomplish life changing goals! I love it! I’m SassyBrit over there. Look me up! ?

Awix (3310 KP) rated Terminator Genisys (2015) in Movies
Mar 15, 2018
Auction-prize Terminator movie appears to have been made by dyslexics, but that's the least of its worries. A film of two unequal halves: opening section, in which the events of the 1984 movie are cheerfully revisited and rewritten, has a sort of demented energy which makes it rather watchable. The rest of it, in which the action inexplicably shifts to a near future where the nascent Skynet is some kind of app or Windows update, is essentially incoherent cobblers.
Film is not just incoherent, but openly and knowingly incoherent, with elements of backstory and actual plot left unexplained, presumably to be revisited in a future sequel. Action and acting is okay; makes relatively little use of Arnie, all things considered. Hits all the right buttons to keep fans of the series from rising up in a violent revolt (though it's possibly a near thing); it will probably simply bore, confuse, or repel anyone unfamiliar with the earlier movies.

Goodreads
I love Goodreads. I can keep track of what I've read, find books I want to read, meet new people and join groups, talk to authors, even set yourself a reading challenge for the year. Love that you can review your books, comment other people's reviews, add your Facebook friends and find out what they are reading too! I've found so many new books because of Goodreads. Can even let Goodreads into your kindle account and it will add what books you have bought or got samples of so you can add them into your "To Read" list.

An Absolute Must-Have
This has to be one of my most-used apps, one I go to on an almost daily basis. We use it for settling arguments over what else an actor has been in, the names of people we can't quite recognise, who the familiar voice in an animation belongs to, if a TV channel has missed out episodes of a series that is being shown and even the dates when a new series is due to be broadcast. One of my favourite things is that it also tells you the filming locations for TV shows and films. I really is a one-stop app for almost all the information you could possibly want to know about movies and shows. I have it installed on my phone, my Kindle and my tablet, and frequently use the website. I would hate to be without it now!

Diggy's Adventure - Delightful game
I love this game!!
I play this on my tablet on a regular basis. I have to say that it is very addictive! This game is great at challenging your brain by setting out various different tasks/puzzles that really make you think.
It has a variety of different adventures that you can choose, so you never get bored. Or if you just want to play the main story, you can.....the choice is yours!
The only problem with this game is that I find the energy system is highly confusing and I still don't really understand it. I don't want to say to much as you will see what I mean if you play.
It does require some in app purchases, however, I don't think that they are too expensive.
Overall though. I would highly recommend this game!!

You can stream content easily (3 more)
Various apps are supported
No loud noises coming from the device
Alexa is a nice touch, although a bit of a gimmick to me personally
It can feel quite slow at times (1 more)
Some of the apps designs are often trudged and unappealing. But that's not the devices fault
Good price for a good product
I use the fire stick every day and it has relived much stress from my life. I grew up watching things on my laptop, then xbox 360, then ps4. So, to have something that isn't constantly blowing hot air in to the room is pure relief.
Typing in to the search bar is a pain in the a*** when you use the accompanying remote, so I downloaded the Fire TV app and it has made the experience a hell of a lot easier. Especially considering my phone is always by my bedside, and the remote always seems to get lost in the sheets.

One of the handiest apps
This is always one app I download straight away! Absolutely love it. Has a very vast database and you can almost always find the name of practically every extra in anything and oftentimes can find uncredited people.
Most pages have a full biography of actors and crew alike. More popular people have lots of photos too. It also comes in handy for trivia and when you recognise someone and just can't figure out why.
It's easy to use and all pages for TV shows have an episode list complete with original release dates. Episode pages also exist with a generalisation of the plot, often having more than one written by other people.
Only downside is that sometimes the biography doesn't have enough information on but a name can be all that's needed for a Google search.
100% recommend to everyone!
