Intelligent Devices

I haven't had a smart phone since the MDA.  I briefly had an iPad, but sold it to my dad so he could use it to take credit card payments.  I've worked for apple doing tech support, so I know iOS, which I'm finding helpful on my new Galaxy S7 that was given to me for Christmas about half an hour ago.  

 

 

So.....what should I know?  What should I download?

The battlefleet Gothic game!

I'm going to force it to take sooo many high def pictures of my crotch, you don't even know.

I've downloaded Google Earth, Google Drive, Fallout Shelter, HappyCow, Injustice Gods Among Us, Adobe Acrobat Reader, and a couple other games that I've since deleted.  

 

PDF rules reference is going to be swell.

How about this, what are the three Apps you use most?  Games or otherwise.

[Duckman]

Phone

Contacts

Log

 

Why do I have to have all this other crap?

[WestRider]

Messaging, Web browser, Bejeweled.

Hangouts, Chrome, Plex. Waze (great for getting around town)

 

edit: I also you Paprika a lot. It stores recipes in a uniform format and syncs across devices. I love it.

After boring email/messaging/calendar, top three are podcast app, RSS reader, grocery list app

[ROGRE]

Google Keep, Hangouts, Battlescribe

I'd forgotten about Battlescribe!

 

savion, what device do you have? I was reading paprika has issues with Android OS.  Is this something you've experienced?  I good recipe/grocery list app is very high on my list of must haves.

 

I picked up Battlefleet Gothic, haven't been able to find a multiplayer game, yet.  I played once before, probably 7 years ago, just a couple games using proxy, but it was fun.  The tutorial and computer generated dice/movement/etc makes for an easier game to learn, to be sure.  I'm hoping the table top redux will keep to the rule set so I don't have to keep two different sets in mind.  

 

Also, stupid vassal not having a stupid app.

 

 

Biggest complaint about the phone at the moment: My voicemail wants access to my location so as to play appropriate advertisements for me.  Why the [big bad swear word] does my voicemail need to advertise to me?  I haven't set it up because I refuse to be marketed to.

Battlescribe isn't available on Android?  Or do you have to sneak it on through manual transfer of files from the computer?

I use a Nexus 6. I have used the app for many years and have not really had any issues. of course sometimes it does not download a recipe correctly, but I feel that is to be expected for what it does. I don't really use the grocery list portion of the app at all as the wife and I share a grocery list so if either of us is at the store we just pick up everything else.

I've heard that the updated version of Battlescribe is horrible. No personal experience, but it might not be such a big loss.

[InfestedKerrigan]

I was looking for "BattleForge" instead of "BattleScribe".....

Man, the apps on my phone don't have options anything like that ;)

[InfestedKerrigan]

It's a powerful app.  

 

Also, the drink earned an additional point for getting me to post in the wrong thread.

Phone, Email, Timer (for cooking).

 

I also frequently reference the Weather, Date and Time, Calculator, Address Book, Texting, and internet.

 

Though regarding the internet, for some reason, Microsoft phones are unable to set a custom homepage with the phone version of windows 10, so I had to acquire an App which goes to a blank page, rather than loading the very large "infinity edge" default page.

Santa gave me an Oculus VR Gear thing for my S7.

 

Any suggestions here?
