Jelly Bean Keyboard PRO has been updated to support the new swiping feature, will probably switch to it as it has cursor keys.

EDIT:

Whoops, isn't what I thought it was It is just plain old swipe gestures.......

Does anyone know of a good podcast app?

I'm using Tunin Radio at the moment but I can't pause the streams midway though, it just goes back to the beginning.

I use and prefer Pocket Casts

I use Doggcatcher, although it was a paid for app when I bought it last year or year before!

Screen Lock

Afternoon all,

Bit of an odd one this, I'm after a bit of advice regarding a lock screen.

Last week I was in work and noticed a couple of updates appeared in the notification bar, not taking too much notice as I was busy I just clicked to update, next thing I knew I had a screen lock (don't normaly use one)
The screen lock had a padlock in the lower middle and you could choose to activate the shortcuts from it by pulling it up, down, left or right. It also had to the left a icon that when pulled to the centere changed the phone to vibrate, silent or normal (sorry for the vague discription)
For some strange reason a couple of days later it dissapeared for no reason
Does anyone know what it is called and can I download it from the play store. I've seen a few but they seem to want a launcher installed and I don't want that just the screen lock.

Cheers

I've not yet seen anything that beats BeyondPod, but it is paid.

Reading this today I figured I'd give it a try as I already had JB keyboard installed, works really well actually although the keys in portrait mode are quite small though prediction and accuracy mean it still works well.

Screeny:

Spot on for Galaxy Note/tablet users though!

Is there any good Quake or other retro shooter apps, that actually work well?

What is the next best radio app after Tunein? I love it but I'm getting phone reboots every couple of days with it.

I just need BBC Radio 4 and Radio 2

Trying to install BBC media player, but it just says this video is not available in your country.
Any ideas? Google isn't providing much help. In the uk, no VPN.

Did you reboot? Might require it to pickup the right network identifier (the app is a bit picky if it's not able to use Geo-IP via wifi).
