Top 5 entertainment mobile apps
There are so many entertainment apps out there that it’s probably impossible to narrow it down to a universal top five, but having the apps below installed on your smartphone will guarantee that you’ll never have a moment when you’re twiddling your thumbs feeling a little bit bored. With these five apps, you’ll have all the entertainment you could ever wish for just a couple of taps away.
Netflix
More and more of us are streaming movies these days rather than downloading them. The Netflix app’s strong points include the fact that it’s really easy to use. All you do is log in, which takes you to a browsing menu and once you select a film you can play it back almost immediately. The menus have easy to view thumbnails and you simply tap on the film you want to see. The monthly subscription of $5.99 gives you access to all the Netflix content. The only slight downside is that you may find it frustrating that new DVD releases take a while to make it to Netflix, but this is a similar issue for its competitors, too.
Casino Tropez
Playing games like CandyCrush is ok, but when you can play games where you might win real cash on your phone, that’s when it gets really interesting! You’ll find a great selection of mobile casino games on the Casino Tropez app – find it at http://www.casinotropez.com/mobile/games . Whatever mood you’re in, there’s a game to suit it right here. For example, if you want to zone out and de-stress, then a slot like the eight-line progressive slot Gold Rally or Jacks or Better video poker are a great choice; no decision-making beyond how much to bet per spin. But if you’re looking for a game that requires a bit more thought, switch to playing blackjack or roulette.
Sky Go
You pay enough for your Sky subscription, you may as well get the most out of it by being able to take your Sky with you when you’re out and about. You might be on the train or away from home overnight and not be able to watch your team’s match. However, as long as you download the Sky Go app, your Sky Sports and Movies channels will come with you, free of charge. Set up is simple on this app; just use your Sky ID or if you haven’t already got one, create one. Like with Netflix, the interface is easy to use and in only three touches you could be watching any of the Sky Sports channels, Sky Movies Premier, ESPN, Showcase, Action and Adventure or Family channels, as long as you’re paying for those subscriptions. Even at home you can use your tablet as a second Sky screen if someone else has already started watching a different channel on the TV.
Gigbox
If you enjoy going to concerts, Gigbox is a real must-have app. By factoring in your current location, Gigbox can tell you which artist is playing a gig nearby. It can pull in the songs and groups on your Last.fm account and with Google Maps tells you how to find the venues. Once you’ve got to a gig, you can then use the app’s live mode in order to share pics and chat to other concert-goers. You also get to rate the gig if you want to.
PicPush
PicPush is a great app to have if you own more than one photo-sharing account and don’t have the time or energy to upload each of your photo batches onto each service. PicPush does this for you, automatically sharing any pictures or videos on your phone with any of the major photo-sharing services that you use, like Facebook, Flickr, Picasa, Shutterfly and SmugMug, and you only have to login once. It even does its work while you’re having a conversation on the phone – no need to just watch the upload take place.
