you stream them, seriously how hard is this to work out?

That's not what I was asking. I was asking where it gets the shows from, and are they legitimately sourced.
I'll be more direct: is it piracy? I assume it is, which is why it was removed from the google play store.

Deezer is pretty good, plenty of choice on there

Real Boxing on Play for 69p. Looks gorgeous on the S4.

I've ditched Ad removal apps now as I've found network connections happen quicker with them removed and some apps don't complain about network connection problems (new Youtube, for example) from time to time.

Anyone suggest a good podcast app? Been using full version BeyondPod but about to launch it out the window as it isn't picking up podcast on SD card.

Wish I could get the new Transport Tycoon on my HTC One X

'Unavailable for my device' The One X isn't that bad, surely?

I like Pocket Casts.

If anyone didn't know, there's another humble bundle up for Android.

Woop Star command:

Looks exactly what I'm after, unfortunately Google (in their wisdom) don't allow purchasing from the Channel Islands.

Ahh well, I'll keep searching.

If it is something you really want you might email the developer and ask them if there is any other way you can purchase.

Any decent app for mpg work-out? I had road trip on my iPhone which is a very very good app. I like that a lot, any equivalent just as good for Android?

I use Fuel Log which is great and tracks other costs too.

I have asked in this thread before, but cant find it.

How do i send my current tab on chrome tablet to my desktop? So if i come across a youtube video on my tablet when im in bed, i can send it to my PC screen to watch it without getting up

Im being abit of a plonker and cant find it

Oh and whats everyone using as an RSS reader? I've tried several and im using Feedly atm, but cant say im happy with it since it doesnt have a widget.
Are there any that actually fetch the articles entirley instead of just grabbing the headlines/intro? (Sorry if thats confusing).

gReader/Feedly are what i use. I don't use them as widgets though.

As for sending tabs, click share page in your browser and the intents window will load so you can choose what to share with, select Chrome - I think it's like that with Chrome anyway as Firefox is the same, click Firefox and you can choose which synchronised browser to send the tab to.

gReaderPro is solid for RSS, comparable to Reeder for iOS but not as pretty to look at.

Don't use the widgets either though.

Thanks, exactly what I wanted. What's the situation with Flash in Firefox? Mine doesn't seem to work. Even after enabling plugins in the settings tab.

It was initially tablet only, but it seems due to the backlash they have started to make it mobile compatible. Today's update:

- Reworked to be installed on more devices

So have a check to see if you can install it on youe HOX now

Nice, launcher needs more features though like gestures etc.

Anyone recommend a good replacement for People that is minimal and doesn't have placeholders for pictures? I want a good old fashioned list of names and numbers, without any photos at all.

If there's a way to get rid of photos in Textra's conversation list too, then that would be great!

Cheers.
