Essential.


Got the paid version and its a lot better than the freebie one. Not that the free one is bad.

Other than, I think, a recording facility what do you get on the paid version over the freebie?

I tried Opera for Android but it just wouldn't work well. Will give that a try, thanks.

TBH.....that's possibly all. :D

But it just seems to stream much better...and no ads.

Star walk - great for the night sky + plus it has a night vision mode, so you can actually use it at night without blinding yourself.
With the best, thats a good bit of PR, though I would say the Bedford team, theres, like, you know, 13 blokes who can get together at the weekend to have a game together, which doesnt point to expansion of the game. Point, yeah go on!

It does tickle me when I read apps as "essential", much like sky+ is for most households. I love my sky, however I'm not fussed by phones, my brother is. But I always have to take a second thought when I realise how attached people are to their tech.
