So this is pretty neat, makes your phone Nvidia Gamestream compatible (aka pretends it's a Shield device). Let's you play your PC games on your phone if you've got Geforce Experience set up. Kinda requires that you have a controller (I've a Moga, but you can hook up DS3/DS4/n maybe Xbox stuff) but I imagine some mouse only games are fine.

Seems pretty cool for family members. I know that for most parents I know that controlling the kids and what they're doing on their phone is not exactly a practicality. I like that this forces the kids to ask for permissions to install apps from the parents in a fairly seemless fashion too. Though I do agree that locking out Youtube seems a weird, YT kids is a little bit toooo kid friendly imo (though once again with grown up YT you get a lot of stuff kids shouldn't really watch such as minecraft lets plays with anti-semites).

 

Only super big issue is it's Nougat phones only, which most kids I know get hand-me-down phones so gonna be a few versions behind.

I'm having more fun playing Magikarp Jump than I expected though I was genuinely traumatised the first time a pigeotto made off with my little pal. 


I downloaded that and ditched it after it took me (what felt like) ten minutes before the game actually let me play it.

I'm enjoying it so far. Except the connection issues, obviously. Makes me wonder if they'll ever get around to a switch animal crossing though, because it's  more like a "proper" animal crossing game than I originally expected when it was announced.

Got a couple of good ones. Maybe you already know about them since they're popular but they're also not on the app store so maybe not. You want a youtube app that will keep playing audio after you shut off your phone screen or go back to your home screen? Youtube Vanced. It also cuts out the ads as a bonus. It's like getting everything you get from Youtube Premium for free except for the terrible premium shows that nobody likes anyway.

 

Want a good manga reader? Tachiyomi. It's the only thing I've found that lets me read series such as One Piece, Beastars, or Berserk. All the official apps in the Play Store only connect you to webcomic crap.

 

Edit: This one is a Windows app but it's a huge help. Do you have a bunch of empty folders on your PC but you don't want to go through them all one at a time to get rid of them? Use Treesize. It analyzes any directory you choose and lets you mass delete empty folders if you wish. It's saved me a ton of time.
