Have you looked at Zello ?

AndyCr15 · 15 Jan 2016 at 19:28

I have just installed that actually. Thanks.

This might be a long shot, but can anyone recommend a Track Day app too? One that records lap times etc.

Great games, been looking forward to this one.

It does look rather good!

Is it a stand alone game, or is it best to play the preceding two first?

Looking for a decent tide timetable app? I only really need high/low info for around the UK so any other stats would be a bonus

There is a fairly thin narrative connecting them all but it's nothing significant. They're all superb though so I'd recommend starting with the first one anyway.

Barclaycard is just Credit cards

No, not really.

You would download the Barclaycard app and expect to manage your bank account?

Hxc · 16 Jan 2016 at 18:28

Mobile payments not showing for me; is it on a per device basis?

Pigeon_Killer · 16 Jan 2016 at 18:38

Not sure. I'm using a Nexus 6P and the app updated to v1.20 this morning.

Hope they add the Barclays debit card to the app as they don't appear to be supporting any of the other payment apps at the moment.

Barclaycard doesn't work on rooted devices

Uhtred · 16 Jan 2016 at 19:06

Aren't there apps which mask root? RootCloak?

Scottland · 16 Jan 2016 at 19:27

They only work on some apps, all depends how the app detects root.

To be honest, I'm not all that interested in phone payments, but I do feel like I'm missing out on something

Post necro I realise, but what are the icons from please? And the gradient background.

V_R · 16 Jan 2016 at 20:22

They are Velur Icons - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.vertumus.velur

That guy does some very nice icon packs.

Skeeter · 16 Jan 2016 at 21:01

Wow, I just happened to wander in here on the off chance, and thought "I recognise that start screen"

As has been said, they are the Velur icons. The background is just one of the stock Marshmallow wallpapers on my old Nexus 5.

Makhaira · 17 Jan 2016 at 08:32

There's also a very similar wallpaper in the Velur pack. Thanks guys, it's transformed the look of my tablet!!

Skeeter · 17 Jan 2016 at 10:50

Actually your right, it could well have been a Velur background. I've changed phones now and have a different one (still using the Velur icons though)
