Why not just turn on Preloading? (Settings) Add video's to 'Watch Later', plug it in to power with WiFi on and it downloads them for you...

CheapCast

An app that emulates ChromeCast on any android device. Could be handy for those of you using those android dongles for htpc's or whatever.

what are the best Football related apps to get at the moment? Also anyone know much about sun+ goals app? seems pretty good, i know you gotta pay but if it works its decent i guess.

Livescore and ESPN Goals.

The only thing that is really missing is better managed of purchased apps..

Hmmm that third feature has been around for a few months?

They used to have purchased app section back in the day, mystery why they did away with it. I probably have loads of apps/games I have purchased and forgotten about.

365Scores and ESPN ScoreCenter are good too.

Good spot - the video looks very similar to clash of clans so will give it a try

rotters · 12 Aug 2013 at 20:35

Castle clash is even more of an android clash of clans copy. Quite fun in that the troops that don't die during a raid are still there for the next raid which is right, its one thing that annoys me about coc.

tals · 12 Aug 2013 at 23:39

Grabbed both of them, so far jungle heat is appealing more, but you are right castle clash is a close copy.

He makes valid points. Android is in a very good place right now and I think I'd have a very hard time transitioning to iOS now in comparison to 12 months ago.

One for the S4 users.. Make use of those extra sensors

CheapCast: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=at.maui.cheapcast

Emulates a spare Android device as a ChromeCast device. Works pretty well, YouTube, Google Movies and Google Music works fine, but they must be on the cloud instead of the device locally to work. I tried the Chrome browser extension but it seems using a desktop from LAN doesn't work even if they're on the same network, it has to be connected to wifi. Hopefully there will be more interesting apps with ChromeCast support.

Does anyone use Notify my Android? I had been using Chrome2Phone, but 4.3 seems to have broken it. Trying to use NMA now, but notifications just don't seem to come through unless I go into the app.

Is there an app or something to make folders within the app drawer with Trebuchet?

Would be nice to have without having to install Nova.
