Ocean HD is pure eye candy!

I’ll pass on this first batch.

Asphalt 7 looks good, even if it is 1.4gb :eek:

That office suite is awesome as well i bought it last time it was on sale.

I found it utterly awful when I bought it for 69p - wasn't worth the space at all.

The first batch of discounted apps for today has emerged.

Thanks for the list, but how can we find which ones are included each day?

Presumably it is published somewhere!

I wonder when the UK Play store will update.

edit, I see on the mobile they have it live now.

They're all on there for me?

open/close app animations.

Should happen with all apps even when launched from app drawer.

I am using jellybean although would rather use the ICS animations, however, they aren't very noticeable, especially not as noticeable/good as the nova version.

Ah right, just wondered if there was anything else it did that I hadn't noticed. Yeah JB ones are nice :cool:

Just had a problem trying to drop a new icon into my Games folder. All my icons inc. my folder kept moving out of the way so I couldn't drop it in. Is there a setting somewhere for that? :confused:

I got it there in the end but it's a bit annoying!

I gave the trial version a quick try and it seems to work well for Excel but the PDF viewer is immensely slow to load each page and the quality is pretty bad compared to Adobe's PDF viewer. Is it the same for the full version?

As part of the 25p offer, OfficeSuite Pro 6 +: https://play.google.com/store/apps/...3lzdGVtcy5lZGl0b3Iub2ZmaWNlX3JlZ2lzdGVyZWQiXQ..

I have the free version as part of the bloatware on my phone, and it's pretty good viewing .doc, .pdf, etc files. I can't edit them though with the free version. Is this pro version worth it? Or is there a better office app?

My friend had DocumentsToGo as part of his Samsung bloatware and it keeps rendering some files wrong.

It's the best office app imo. Well worth it for 25p!

So i noticed Play Music is no longer on my phone, and has disappeared from the app store. Does that mean they've cottoned on and removed it for us UK folk until it works properly? It was my favourite music player as it was so simple

Edit: It can still be found if you go through google search https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.music&hl=en and now it's installed again, woo

Bad Piggies does not like the Tab 10.1:

Samsung GT-P7510

This item is not compatible with your device.

mrk · 27 Sep 2012 at 14:20

There is a HD version as well, try that? Both work on the S3

The non HD version works on the Tab 10.1.

I have the HD version on my iPad and Nexus 7.

Nutella33 · 27 Sep 2012 at 15:49

bit odd that they are both the same size install between HD and SD?

Only played it whilst I was 'Busy' in the bathroom... now my legs are numb because I was sat there for nearly 30 minutes playing this!!... and I didn't get 'anything else' done!!

Already addicted!!

mrk · 27 Sep 2012 at 15:55

Hope you washed your hands!

It's an addictive game indeed, between this and a few others, I'm sorted!

At least by then he wouldn't have needed to wipe.

millsy888 · 27 Sep 2012 at 15:59

So far I've bought Tasks and Granny Smith. Hoping for more when they change the apps.

anyone know of a good app to manage voicemails? I'd heard of one before where you can record different messages for different callers (great for work)

also a call recording app that records both incoming and outgoing voice. i've tried one before which only recorded the incoming voice
