Excellent game
This game is incredibly fun. The basic concept is something like a cross between the movie Frequency and Stranger Things with a fun synth score. A group of teens end up on a haunted island in a series of time loops and have to use radios to communicate with the ghosts and break free. It's an easy way to lose a few hours, and then play all over again with a few surprises. This is among my top IOS games for sure.
James Koppert (2698 KP) rated Tasks in Apps

The best of all
I have been wanting an app that gives a practical task list for work. There are plenty to choose from including ones by giants such as Microsoft and I have tried them all. Most of them I find untidy or unintuitive and ended up deleting them to continue my search. Others give you a free trial then ask for yearly subscriptions which are over priced with no value so I delete them. Then I found Tasks. And it was perfect. I thought 'where is the catch?' but there wasn't one. Tasks is beautifully designed, intuitive, easy to use and a massive help at work. You can donate if you like it, which I did because I was that impressed and immediately approached IT to have it on all our work phones.
I received a free copy of this book from NetGalley for an unbiased opinion.
JUST BREATHE takes us through Repult's journey to brokenness and then shows us how God has begun and continued healing him and putting him back together. It is a book not just about redemption or addiction, but a bit of both combined. After following Repult's journey, he's included a list of tools we can use to allow Jesus and God fully into our lives to heal us and continue to use us.
Well written, insightful, and useful, I think particularly the tools section was helpful. He discusses the link between amends and forgiveness, which I have, in the past, felt was overlooked. This book is not just for recovering addicts who are trying to find redemption; it's a book to remind us all that we must be willing to admit our complete brokenness before we can be healed.

Netflix had it's time
I know people are going to disagree with a lot of what I say. I have used Netflix on different devices and different counties.
Where to start.
-it would be nice if it looked and acted the same on all devices. I base this on use on PC, Roku, IPad and Samsungs
-to have the same options in all countries. Some things are dubbed in english in the USA but in Canada the same shows are only subtitled in english.
-not all things that are available in the USA are in other parts of the world, like Canada
-when you go in to a show it would be nice if it did not start right away. I like to read what ot is about before choosing to view it.
-instead of playing a clip from a movie when scrolling over it a trailer would be better.
-to make it easier to delete off of you continue to watch list.
There are a couple of good streaming service i use over Netflix and some of them are free like tubi.

I absolutely love the kindle app. I have it on my phone and I also have a kindle. I can buy books on my kindle and they will instantly sync to my phone. If I read on one device I can instantly pick up on another. However, I don’t like that I can’t buy books on my phone, I end up saving books and either forgetting and missing deals or forgetting altogether

Huge range of books (2 more)
Completely portable
Great narrators!
Biggest Smallest Bookshelf Ever!
Hands-free reading at its very best, this is the biggest, smallest bookshelf around. With an incredible choice of classics, modern, fiction, non-fiction, biographies, and podcasts, the Audible app gen uinely has something for everyone, and yet it still fits in your pocket. The user interface is simple and intuitive, and subscribers get free episodic content as well as a credit for a free book every month, which can be spent on any book in the store regardless of price!
The app synchs, so you can be listening to a book on your tablet, switch to your phone and it will pick up at the same place. You can listen to books narrated by famous names like Stephen Fry, and a host of other wonderful voices, at home, in your car, through your headphones, and wherever else you can listen to music or podcasts, and the voices appear to be selected specifically with the content in mind. And if you don't like a book, you can simply swap it for another one, no questions asked.
All in all, Audible is a great, easy to use app, with fantastic content, excellent customer service, an amazing range and number of books and 'shows', and fantastic voice talents, all for a very low monthly fee. And you can give it a try with the first month (and your first book) free in a lot of cases.

Crazy large packaging for tiny items
It annoys me but I love it?!
I have Amazon Prime Student which is £39 a year.
For that I get
-expediated delivery
-early access to deals
-prime music and video access
- Prime drive unlimited photo storage
-kindle borrowing library and
- extra student discounts (about the usual 10%)
I mostly use the music and delivery and for the student price I definitely make my money back on the postage reduction alone. In saying that I would probably not spend a o much in the first place if postage wasn't free.
I've never had any problem with the app which I find easier to use than the website. Payment is so easy once you set up PayPal and swipe to pay (almost too easy).
A tip is to leave items in your basket and wait for the price to drop before buying as you get alerts when the price point changes if the item is in your shopping basket.
Amazon is innovative and has so many different aspects. Prime now lists items in your area which they can deliver to you in a few hours. They have a pantry food branch and a fresh delivery option in some areas. They also have an app selection, warehouse deals and baby lists.
Keeps bankrupting yourself interesting anyway.

Essential
How can you really fault WhatsApp? It has become an essential part of everyday life for anyone with a smart phone. Unless you have an iPhone and iMessage (which I don't - Android all the way), this is the only way to send and receive images and videos to friends and family for free.
You can send whatever you want, as much as you want as long as you have an Internet connection - so this app is ideal when you're off on holiday and only want to use wifi to get in touch with family back home. It automatically saves any media direct to your phone and you never have to faff around logging in and out.
Honestly can't fault it - I'd be lost without it!

Jan 11, 2019
An interesting first person insight into the Zombie Apocalypse
Contains spoilers, click to show
I confess I only downloaded this book originally because it was free on kindle, however, that being said, I was surprised at how good it was.
The story is written in diary form by fictional character Bill Wright. Similar to Rock Grimes (Walking Dead), Bill missed the initial apocalypse due to injury. His government links tried to rescue him during the evacuation, however, at the last stage the chauffeur fails. The story primarily centres around Bills attempts to escape London on his own, with a leg in cast, without falling victim to the Zombie virus.
The use of a diary to move the story forward is a different approach to most Zombie books, and allows us to to have a greater insight into the thoughts and feelings of the main character in hindsight of the events.
If you are looking for an in-depth and complex book, this is not the book for you, however if you are looking for a quick easy read on the go, I highly recommend this. I have already downloaded the sequel to this story (not free) in order to find out what is next in store for Bill.

Large variety of extra widgets
Small for easy placement
I've had my alexa for a couple of weeks now and have to say it really is fantastic. It was so easy to setup, literally took a few minutes and she was up and running. I use her everyday from the minute I get up to the minute I go to bed. I placed her in my kitchen which is adjacent to my lounge. I found this the most appropriate placement for her as I use her daily for timers when I'm cooking. I love the personalised routines you can create, my morning routine is "alexa, good morning" where she will then tell me a random 'on this day' fact, my daily schedule which is linked to my phone's calendar, the local weather and then she will play my chosen radio station. At night I say "alexa goodnight" where she will then wish me goodnight.
The app is really easy to use and I love looking through all the widgets that you can enable alexa to do, such as: speak in Chewbacca language or tell me a joke. I personally like the daily affirmations or life quotes. You can also meditate with her, that's quite interesting.
The reason my review is 9/10 is because there is an extra subscription charge for Amazon music, 3.99 a month I believe. Perhaps it would be out of kindness for Amazon to allow alexa product buyers a free subscription.
However, I do have the radio on all day anyway so don't really request her to play specific songs.
I'm quite excited to purchase additional alexas to use in other rooms. The drop in ability is fantastic, I drop in on my families devices to check all is well or to have a quick chat, they're like walkie talkies. Brilliant. This ability can be disabled easily for times you don't want anyone dropping in on awkward situations or during the night. I also find the drop in ability good for when I'm away, I can drop in on my cat and talk to him, obviously I don't get a response but I know he can hear me.
Lastly, she's also nice to talk to if you're lonely.
Overall, I'm very much enjoying my alexa and her wide variety of abilities.
