Anyone else use Google Opinion Rewards? Doe's not make a lot of money but enough for the occasional paid app.

They seem to be popping up more often compared to last year, checking the history I've earned over £11 since I've started using it.

Any decent football apps out there?

Preferably one thats show fixtures and what channels the games are on.

Last year I had a penny in credit, this year I've got about £5

I get some really odd surveys at times. The last few weeks I've had one ask me if I play or attend polo matches, another wanted to know if I'm learning the saxophone or trumpet and another asked if I have any life goals I intend to achieve in the next 12 months...

I liked it more when it just asked me when I last went to Tesco.

I use a Google shared calendar for my teams fixtures etc. Onefootball is a decent app though.

The rewards app always seems to ask me when i last went to Starbucks ... not much per question but it adds up.

Installed Google Opinion Rewards last night after seeing it mentioned in this thread. Within minutes of setting it up I had a survey that asked 'When was the last time I watched a film at a drive-in movie theatre' as the first of three questions. Do we even have those over here?

Still, it paid .50p for answering three questions. Can't argue with that.

I just had 'have you been skydiving in the last 4 weeks?'

Orcvader · 6 Aug 2015 at 09:59

Noticed those surveys as well, it made me think "who does all these things or am I just boring?". They're starting to creep me out, is Google trying to tell us something?

AndyCr15 · 6 Aug 2015 at 10:14

Surely this information is for people paying Google, not Google themselves? So a Skydive company comes and says 'Google, here's some money, find me 5,000 people that went skydiving last month and ask them X, Y and Z'.

I've made like £1 in the last month from it, in total over £10, worth it for some free play credit!

Had Rewards installed for a while, easily clocked up £10 too....very nice Play credit spends

I use Fotmob. It also has push notifications for goals scored on selected fave teams, leagues from around the world and is my go to football app.

Sofascore, hands down the best app for that...IMO.

What games are available that are any good for a 20-month-old child to play on an android tablet?
I've got a spare tab kicking around and figured I'd stick some baby games on it for the boy.

My daughter (3 yrs old) enjoys the Dr. Panda games (Amazon app store do some good deals sometimes).

Other than that she quite likes Fireman Sam games (Fire and Rescue by P2 Games is good) although may be a bit old for your child as yet. There are a couple of Peppa games that are ok but to be honest the Dr. Panda games seem to be the only ones that keep her attention as there is so much to do and so detailed. The nursery one is particularly good but she likes the gardening one and the airport one. When she was a bit older she started to enjoy the bus driver one as well but that's probably a little advanced.

Most have free versions which should give you an idea of whether to spend the money but they were brilliant when we were travelling last year to occupy some time.

Awesome, thanks. Will give them a try.

Age group categorisation would be a good call for app markets, every decent parent wants their child to be safely conversant with touch screen systems and have fun doing it.
