What are Reddit's favorite android apps?

It was recently released for mobile devices. No in-game purchases, no micro-transactions. Just the game as it was released in 1999.

Link for Android

Link for iOS

Verizon will probably take it out and still push theirs on you (like they did with the Note's built in call blocking)
Call block / Blacklist Pro was / sometimes goes on sale for $.99. Works perfectly for me to block area code spoof calls.

As a bonus, you can click on every item to show a popup with additional information.

The game is Shattered Pixel Dungeon, a rogue-like rpg, it's clone of Pixel Dungeon with some new features.

Second this, with shattered pixel dungeon being the most popular mod of the original source code. More items, traps and lots of quality of life improvements when compared to the original.

Take your phone with a decent battery, find the pattern area (there's almost always a table and chairs there), sit yourself down, download RollerCoaster Tycoon Classic, and lose hours.

Or browse Reddit.

My wife has 14 sewing machines. I know how to survive. Also, sometimes you can get decent velcro from them if it's on sale.

I use widgets all the time with Popup Widget, since it handles the worst aspect of widgets, they constantly consume RAM and battery if left running and the space they take.

I use it along with Nova gestures, but any gesture will do.

Added link https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ss.popupWidget

Pixel Dungeon ist ein genialer kleiner Roguelike und es gibt davon zig Versionen, weil das Original ein Open-Source-Projekt ist. Die beste und vollständigste ist mMn diese.

It still lags a lot on my device. The dev should look to increase the performance of the app first rather than adding new features. I would love to switch to Action from Nova. Due to its shutter feature,I actually used the widgets more and it is so intuitive.

Right now I am using Popup Widget 3 with Nova to emulate the shutters.

I downloaded an app called Hiya for iOS and Android, and it has pretty much stopped me from getting spam calls. I've had it for about a week, and so far, so good.

Others have recommended Peel, which is good for TV related stuff, but not very customizable.

I much prefer AnyMote Smart Remote. It also has a giant database of preprogrammed remotes, but for all kinds of devices. And more importantly, you can make completely custom remotes, and learn buttons from physical remotes you own (if your phone also has an IR receiver like on my HTC One M8). Also you can make a custom permanent notification that sits in your notification list with quick access to six buttons of your design, or a floating remote. Basically everything I want it to do.

I made this remote for my Blu-ray player. The buttons were all preprogrammed from the database, but I didn't like the layout so I changed everything to be exactly where I wanted it.

Just checked right now mine loads up and can find it on the play store. Try this link https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.atari.mobile.rctc

It takes some time, but Shattered Pixel Dungeon can entertain you for hundreds of hours once you had figure it out.

If you are on Windows and have VLC Media Player, right click one of the links and copy the link address and in VLC hit ctrl + N and then paste the link and hit enter. Or on the top left in VLC Media Player click on "Media" and then "Open Network Stream" and then paste the link. If you have Windows 10, you can just paste the link into Microsoft Edge and then it should work.

I don't have a Mac but other users have said right click, copy link address, open iTunes, hit command + U, paste the link but replace the http with itls. Or its the same for VLC on Mac just command+n and then paste the link.

If you want to watch it on your android phone you can use an app called MX Player, just copy the link adress and then hit the three dots on the top and then Network Stream and paste the link.

I don't have an IOS device but you can look for a VLC media player app and then look for Network Stream in the app and paste the provided link.

If you have a Chromecast, you can cast a VLC link on your TV with this app.

If you have lag, try these:

• PS4 should be connected in hardwired mode (ethernet) and Direct Connect should be turned off
• On the Mobile use 5ghz wireless if possible instead of 2.4ghz (if your router allows it)
• On Remote Play app, play with the frame rate and quality settings before connecting to the PS4 (high/normal to get optimal settings for your network)

If you have lag on mobile device, turn off location services, this helped me with the lag.

Also the App should be on the PlayStore: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.playstation.remoteplay

The XDA modified version is here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/ps4-remote-play-android-thread-t3068225

If you are going to keep your phone for that long, you really need to start mitigating it now. Most people won't notice burn in (even bad burn in) but it is something every AMOLED display suffers from over time. It's just something you have to accept as a trade off.

I use GMD Immersive. It's an app on the Play Store. It will force immersive mode system wide (as opposed to just those apps that are programmed to use it). This will probably eliminate nav button burn in and notification burn in, which are the main things you should be worried about. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.gmd.immersive

The devs accidentally made the original free and were unable to reverse it. So they removed the original and reuploaded the same thing as a different game. You can download the original from your library, it should be there somewhere. I doubt the original will be updated ever again though. But yeah, the devs screwed those of us who purchased the original, and they don't seem to care.

Link to the original, should show up if you purchased it before: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.atari.mobile.rctc

Popup Widget 2 - I rarely find apps that are really useful to me. This one is friggin awesome. Paired with Nova and mapped to a gesture, you can keep your homescreen clear and bring up any widget when needed, then just make it disappear when you're done. It's wizardry.

There's also Lux for Android too. ;) Essential.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.vito.lux&hl=en

And there is f.lux for iOS, but you need to jailbreak to use it. almost worth it on its own.

My guess is that they reduced the price by mistake and have temporarily taken it off sale until they are able to increase the price again. It's still on the site, you just can't see it unless you already have it.

Do you have an ir blaster? Link me : Smart ir remote-anymote

This remote is awesome, it will control anything with an ir receiver. Not just tv's cable boxes and stereos. I had this since my s3 on my notes and now my v10. It also has a bunch of widgets.

thats what i use works great, recent material design update and can even use it like a harmony remote with macros and stuff only real downside is the price

Smart IR remote by color tiger

got it when it was on sale, but it's like, 10 bucks now. Customizable as hell. Add remotes for anything, even make a smart remote to control different devices at the same time. Has options for macros, so you can have one button execute multiple actions, (turn on tv, change input and change channels on cable box...)

It's also integrated with Google now, so you can change channels by talking to your phone. I'm in the process of building the perfect remote.

Your objective:

Have Fun!

You have failed your objective!

LOL, freaking loved the games. The mobile remaster is quite nice as well.

This project has been rattling round in my 'brain' for a couple of years now. There has been experimentation, there has been failure. There has been tiny victories, but only this week did I solve the biggest bugbear and once done crack on with getting it all working!

So, the biggest bugbear: My living room is, by necessity, setup with a TV and a projector perpendicular to one another. This means on movie night that the sound is wrong. I finally solved this with the help of peverbeek and his Peace GUI for Equalizer APO. Whilst I don't mention this in the video, the orientation switch is macro'd in to certain buttons.

Once that was done I used a combination of Anymote, Tasker and Eventghost to get everything running.

Initial forays into this project taught me that you need to be checking states of things before running actions - for example I originally had 'play' set to turn lights off and 'pause' to turn them back on, but that works even if Plex isn't running so it quickly gets out of sync. The way I did it was to regex query the /status/sessions xml from the Plex Server to see if it contained either 'play' or 'pause'. This is literally the closest I have ever come to 'coding' in my entire life.

If anyone is interested please ask any questions. I'm quite proud of this setup but I think if you lifted up the bonnet you'd see some frightful things in Tasker so I'm also super happy to learn how to do things better!

Thanks

No juego mucho pero lo único que siempre tengo instalado en caso de es este fork de Pixel Dungeon.

Why not? I heard it's a pretty much a straight copy of the original RCT. Excluding the new font and a couple of glitches.

EDIT: Just to make it clear I'm talking about this

Smart Remote/AnyMote

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.remotefairy

It's a bit steep, but it has all the codes for all my devices so far, and it works with wifi devices as well, such as my Roku and even my FireTV. The FireTv has to have adb enabled, but it actually works.

YES! MX Player 4.5 stars with 2.6 million votes. I use it on all my mobiles and tablets. Swipe left and right for forward and rewind. Swipe up and down on the left side for brightness and on the right side for volume. It's amazing.

For the sake of confirming your numbers, the percentages for Smart IR Remote are about the same.

Similarly priced app, similar Play Store rating, similar download counts, similar category. We don't mind piracy that much either - we just hate it when pirates want customer support. Also, people sometimes contact us asking for a free copy for all kinds of reasons, and we've always given them a license key.

>I feel like this shit could be solved by just being able to filter out "includes in-app purchases" in the app stores. I want a filter like that so bad.

On the other hand, some games do in-app purchases fine. See RollerCoaster Tycoon Classic. The in-app purchases are just the expansion packs the original game had.

> PLEASE NOTE: Additional content for RollerCoaster Tycoon Classic is available via In-App Purchase, specifically the three expansion packs: Wacky Worlds, Time Twister and Toolkit. The expansion packs are the ONLY content that require an In-App Purchase and In-App Purchases are not used anywhere else in the game.

Gmd immersive will prevent burn in. Nova Launcher will let you make the notification bar icons black. Nova Launcher also gets rid of the Google button on the main screen. No more burn in.

Cool, maybe one day you'll even be able to remote play your xbox one from your phone with a bluetooth controller.

I use it on my phone, it works very well!

Lux/EasyEyes/Twilight all act exactly like F.lux. I use f.lux on OS X and I use Lux on Android and I can tell you 100% that it does exactly what f.lux does on OS X. (I previously used EasyEyes and Twilight and they both also did)

Popup widget 3. Frees up homescreen space for widgets. I swipe up on one homescreen icon (Nova Laun) to launch 6 widgets that will temporarily overlay my homescreen.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ss.popupWidget

I have been using Hiya for years. It can auto-block spam calls and any numbers not in your contacts if you want it to. It lets you flag a number as spam and shows how many other people reported it too.

There's apps out there that can do this as well. On Android, I use two apps: Calls Blacklist and Hiya to identify and block numbers. Idk what there is for iOS.

Obligatory mention of the mobile version for those who may be trying to replay this nostalgia trip.

It takes a little getting used to control wise but its the the game as i remembered it.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.atari.mobile.rctc

I also have issues with spam calls coming from phone numbers that have both the same NPA (area code) and NXX (exchange) as my number. For example, if my number was

514 867 5309

I would get numbers from 514 867 4564, 514 867 7896, etc. All spoofed of course.

My solution was to install an android app called "Calls Blocklist" which can automatically block calls based on wildcard rules. I have rules for "514867?"

"1514867?" (with country code)

"011514867" (country code and extra numbers from poor number spoofing)

This app with these 3 rules have cut out pretty much all of the crap calls. I was using an app called "Mr. Number" but that stopped working correctly for me when I upgraded to lollipop.

The only downside to this is that it doesn't work if you actually know anyone who has the same NPA NXX as you.

If you don't mind an add on Lux does a much better job of controlling the auto-brightness than the native system. I gave up on the native version because it kept losing it's mind in low light and jumping to full brightness. Lux lets you set custom points that it will learn from and adapt to how you like the light.

Hier aan toevoegend. De Calls Blacklist app. Stuurt alle telefoontjes die niet in je lijst staan naar voicemail.

Als het belangrijk is spreken ze een voicemail in. Zo niet, dan ga ik ervan uit dat het een spam call was.

Shattered Pixel Dungeon. One of the few games that I return to over and over, even after a couple of years of playing. Easy to learn, hard to master, a rich online presence if you want to cheat, and great (and still very active) development. If you're a fan of roguelikes and aren't familiar with Pixel Dungeon, you're in for a treat.

Note: there are quite a few Pixel Dungeon variations, but Shattered Pixel Dungeon is the only one that has kept my interest past a few games.

EDIT: Oh, and it's free.

Probably because it is a Verizon phone where mine is an unlocked phone. I guess they take away the ability for you to block spam natively. �� Although it is just using Hiya, so you could install the app separately.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.shatteredpixel.shatteredpixeldungeon

Then play shattered! It's a modern version with the aim of being as balanced as possible. No item degradation, regular updates. The last update overhauled the alchemy system with dozens of new potions and spells!

Download audio, or video, or simply play audio/video with the screen off in external media players which support it, like MX Player.

Totally free.

Polytopia & Shattered Pixel Dungeon have taken up 90% of my playtime on Android.

Shattered PD is like original PD but more fair and with more options, plus dev is amazing and is really easy to contact.

Polytopia is a simplistic take on 4x genre, that being said still offers tons of room for strategy. Recently added online MP (which is awesome)

Hvis du bruker Android kan du installere Calls Blacklist. Brukte selv appen for å få slutt på daglige svindel-telefoner fra blant annet Guinea.

There are multiple ways to autohide the navbar. you can setup tasker type automation apps to enable semi immersive mode (autohide nav bar, but not status bar) in certain or all apps. There is an app i used in the kitkat days called GMD Full screen immersive mode but i don't know how well it's working on newer versions these days. i remember it had issues with the keyboard if the nav bar was hidden, but that was years ago.

power toggles has a semi immersive mode toggle, xposed modules like gravity box can do it, and lots of custom roms have the functionality built in. Hopefully someone else can chime in as i haven't had a hiding navbar setup in over 2 years so there's probably a better app for the job i'm unaware of.

personally i get rid of the nav bar all together and use pie controls. swipe in from the bottom or right side and these little magic pixels appear, then disappear after i hit a key. makes one handed use easier on big phones, gives you more usable screen, and can be programmed for tasks on long press like expand notifications, search, switch last app, etc...

If by "remote control" you're referring to apps that let you use your phone as a TV remote, I use AnyMote myself. It's a little expensive as far as apps go, but it's worth it. You can even set macros that combine commands from multiple devices. Unlike a few apps you may find (though like many others) it uses a device's built-in IR emitter rather than requiring an external device. I believe they do make an external device that it works with though as another option.

In short, "Photos/Media/Files" is the generic category Google has given any app that wants to access a portion of your filesystem. I've had the app for years (back when it was named differently) and it has never done something malicious.

How about watching on mobile ?

If you have an android device I highly recommend MX Player which supports all fansub file types.

Huh, I'm quite surprised to see nobody mention Pixel Dungeon, specifically Shattered Pixel Dungeon). It's available for free for Android and PC (requires Java)

It's my first introduction to roguelike and what make me hooked to this genre. The tileset is nice, the mechanic is simple and it's actively developed.

Even though it's quite simple, there are quite many combination of item and enchantment so it should keep you busy for quite long. The gameplay is not easy, however it's not impossible either so it's quite satisfying to win.

I believe this is the best game to start, and I still played it from time to time.

Have you tried Shattered Pixel Dungeon?

I just learned about it in another post last week. It's free, and really good.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.shatteredpixel.shatteredpixeldungeon

Major shout out to OP for calling Watabou "the creator of pixel dungeon" because god knows i never have enough chances to champion this fantastic game.

It's a traditional roguelike made for Android, with a version available on PC. Its open source, which means anybody can make a mod of it if they want to. This has led to the creation of a number of mods that majorly improve on the original. I recommend Shattered PD which is made by 00-Evan, and is one of the highest quality indie games I've played.

While I realize it's not what you're asking, I have to ask, why not just run the Android version? It's available for free on F-Droid or also on Google Play. It works perfectly on my Chromebook, and can be played with touchscreen or mouse.

Your issue running it in Crostini is that you likely don't have GPU Acceleration available and/or turned on. You can find some info on how to enable it, if your system supports it, in other posts on this subreddit.

You can get it on Android or iOS through the respective app stores!

Unless you count being exclusive to one brand of android phone as "out on all Android phone", I guess it's because your statement is simply not true. You owning a Sony phone doesn't make it out on all Android phone.

After several Samsung phones I switched to LG when they stopped including the IR blaster, those who aren't spoiled to it simply don't understand.

If you have a blaster and haven't tried it, I highly recommend Anymote a very straightforward, but capable remote app.

I'm shocked no one's mentioned this is phone friendly. 4.6 stars with 95 park scenarios, allows file import, and no microtransactions.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.atari.mobile.rctc

Immersive mode is what you're wanting (full screens the app, hiding status/notification bar). Try GMD Immersive. There's also better ways to enable immersive mode once rooted.

So its a bit pricy for an app but the app AnyMote is excellent. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.remotefairy

You can create your own remote how ever you like it controlling multiple devices in one interface. Well worth the money IMO. You can even set up macros to turn off all your devices in one tap for example.

It's a little pricey but totally worth it.

Smart IR Remote

Just about every aspect of the remotes and widgets can be customized and you can even combine different remote buttons into one single remote.

You can find it here;

http://www.hiapphere.org/app-com.watabou.pixeldungeon

But instead I highly recommend trying Shattered Pixel Dungeon. It is a very popular mod with many great additions and changes plus it is also based on 1.7.5 source but with degradation removed.

"Cool" is a rather broad term. Every app comes with its predesigned widget.

A few options you can try are:

• Purchase KWGT (pro) in order to import other people's creations (they often share them as files or they come as apps that you can download from the Play Store).

• Try a different launcher, particularly one that has different looks than "regular" ones like Pixel, Nova, etc. As an example, Niagara Launcher let's you create pop-up widgets.

• There's an app called Pop-up Widget 3 which is basically a friendlier and standalone version of the one I mentioned Niagara has. It lets you create an icon that when you tap it, it shows a widget you specify, so that you can basically save screen space and keep it clean.

And last but not least would be to try different apps that you use widgets with. For example, if you use Today Weather's widget and you don't like its widgets, try Geometric Weather and see if you find them better looking.

Indeed!

Just download this app for iPhone: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/ps-remote-play/id1436192460

If your PlayStation is hardwired Ethernet, you can comfortably play from your phone. If it’s connected through Wi-Fi then it would be good for keeping an eye on Duty Queues or crafting 😊

Shattered Pixel Dungeon. It's been on my phone since it first started showing up on /r/PixelDungeon and it stays installed on each phone I buy. I'll sometimes go months without playing, but Evan keeps updating it so I always get to come back to new mechanics. Recently started playing again after a break and I died right after killing the last boss but before the end of the game. It can be brutal sometimes but I love it.

YES! You need to set it up from home ahead of time but you can download the free PS4 Remote Play app from the Apple AppStore or Google Play Store to do this.

I’ll post as a comment as well

there are plenty of pixel dungeon variants that are worth your time but shattered pixel dungeon is my recommendation

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.shatteredpixel.shatteredpixeldungeon

With DND (Do Not Disturb), you can allow only calls from contacts to show (varies by OS version). As far as blocking scammers you can use the Google Phone/Dialer app. It can filter spam - even block numbers too (depending on version).

Certain Android phones natively support this, LG comes to mind. To add, there are apps that can stop calls from numbers beginning with a specified area code.

Here's one: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.vladlee.easyblacklist

I used Calls Blacklist for calls like this, except my experience was them using the first 3 digits of my cell number and then a random set of 4 thereafter so my native call filter would see it as a Cell number and let it through. With blacklist you can filter by certain digits within the number so I just blocked those first 3 digits entirely and it blocked everything, so hopefully you can block that 502 portion if that wouldn't bar any normal calls (not sure if that is a pretty common number portion up where you are) . Hopefully it helps, I know how ridiculously aggravating spam calls can be. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.vladlee.easyblacklist

You have to use a different video player if you want to zoom into videos.

MX Player is one app that would let you zoom while watching videos.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mxtech.videoplayer.ad

Did you try Call blacklist?

It has an option to block calls that "begins with". You can set +44 & It should block every calls that starts with +44.

I used to get at least one robo call a day. I never answer my phone. It infuriates the hell out of me. Then I came across an app called Hiya It has a list of scam numbers and can autoblock them. You can also send everyone not in your contacts straight to voicemail. Pretty handy. Hardly have any spam calls come through anymore.

MxPlayer is the defacto video player for this sub. The best by far : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mxtech.videoplayer.ad&hl=fr

For File Explorer is suggest you MiXplorer (free and open source) : https://labs.xda-developers.com/store/app/com.mixplorer

Yea as the other guy said a custom ROM could help, most of them have fullscreen mode of some sort

This app I found in the play store could help though https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.gmd.immersive

The interface is a bit odd but other than that it seems pretty good. It has a 4.6/5 rating on Google Play, so the reviews suggest it's good.

Yes, here it is: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.gmd.immersive

No root required. I can go in and out of immersive mode whenever I want with a gesture. You have to pay extra to get more features, though. I had some Google Play credit saved up so I didn't mind.

What I'd really love is if someone made an app that subtly moved the buttons in the navbar like the S8.

Quando meus pais compraram o primeiro PC lá em casa, eu era pequeno e tinha uns 5-6 anos. Fui na banca de jornal com meu pai e comprei uma revista de jogos que vinha com CD. Óbviamente eu era pequeno e não soube na hora da compra, mas o CD só vinha versões demo de jogos...

O CD veio com vários jogos (tipo uns 20), mas todos só tinham a 1a fase, era mto chato. Mas o jogo principal do CD era o Rollercoaster Tycoon, e ele não tinha só uma fase, e sim três!! A única restrição era que depois de 25 minutos o troço te kickava pra fora do jogo. Mas, dentro dos 25 minutos, ele permitia jogar completinho dentro dos 3 mapas disponíveis (Forest Frontiers, Dynamite Dunes e Leafy Lake).

Gente...como eu morri de jogar esses 25 minutos. Eu era pequeno, não sabia inglês, e a internet estava bem incipiente...eu não sabia buscar na internet dicas pra melhorar meu desempenho no jogo. Mas eu joguei tanto, mas tanto, esses mesmos 25 minutos, correndo pra alcançar o máximo que fosse possível, que eu acabei me tornando um profissional nesses 3 cenários. De tanto eu ser kickado para fora do jogo a cada 25 minutos, aquela música da intro do jogo entrou na minha cabeça..ouvi aquilo centenas e centenas de vezes.

Bem, eu cresci e continuei adorando jogos de simulação. Rollercoaster Tycoon 2 e 3, Sim City, Industry Giant, Theme Hospital, Zoo Tycoon, Cities XL...e por aí vai.

Quando eu vi que tinha lançado pra Android o RCT 1 e 2 original, sem frescura pay-to-win, na hora eu sabia que tinha que comprar. Baixei, e abri. O jogo, na hora, começou a tocar a intro do RCT 1. Mano, eu chorei. Juro que lágrimas saudosistas e nostálgicas escorreram do meu olho.

É incrível como uma coisa dessas, um CD de 2 real que comprei numa revista quando era criança, pode marcar a vida da gente.

EDIT: Se alguém souber qual revista era essa, que vinha com o RCT demo, por favor avise!

>Can anyone recommend a good media player application?

>whose mecha are way too overpowered.

They wouldn't have been able to accomplish what they set out to do without the power of the Gundams being what they were.

MX Player is my suggestion (unless you buy the Pro version, there will be ads).

Yeah the red filter on CF.lumen is ridiculous. Change Sundown/Sleep color filter to Temperature mode and set the temperature to around 3400 K. That's what I use and I love it.
I also recommend Lux to manage the actual brightness of the screen.

Use an app such as Lux. It darkens the screen by drawing over it, rather than just dimming the backlight. Works best on AMOLED displays I suspect, but should help you somewhat.

There are also free apps that do the same thing I believe, but I haven't tried them.

I use Popup Widget to hide widgets until I want them. That means I can live with less-attractive widgets that are really functional (like Slider Widget), because I don't have to look at them all the time.

Try this:
- Install MX player (if you don't have it already).
- Click this link and choose to open it with MX player. (this is a HD stream so only use this on wifi or with a lot of data).

Figured some would ask what the center widget is, it is a Popup Widget that holds the widget "AppDialer" which lets me search through my apps using a T9 keyboard, and it's quite efficient!

I think Calls Black List (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.vladlee.easyblacklist) should do the job. It is simple and you can set it to only receive calls and sms from contacts. It really blocks everything without even ringing the phone, also the pro version has password protection if you need it. I've been using it for months on Android 10.

No, the app is exclusive to Xperia phones only, and selected ones at that. If you try searching for the app in Play Store you won't get any results, but if you Google it you do but you can't install it because it only works on Xperia phones. If you manually install the apk file it doesn't work either and if you go all the way into rooting your device and installing an apk mode for it to work, it does work but DS4 pairing won't work at all. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.playstation.remoteplay

Your old purchased one can still be accessed directly but will most likely not receive any updates.

Shattered Pixel Dungeon

Fits all your criteria. It's also F2P, regularly updated, popular, no IAP affect game play, and the best roguelike on Android IMO.

Meteorfall: Journeys

Also fits your criteria, P2P (Worth the price), still adding content, no IAP. There is a "Daily" battle you can do, but it's merely for the leaderboard and isn't required at all.

If you enjoy turn based roguelike, I'll suggest Shattered Pixel Dungeon and Meteorfall.

a Claro (sempre ela) vivia me infernizando.

abri um chamado no Focus da Anatel, que respondeu que não há lei regulando, e que eu "deveria instalar um app no meu telefone."

como sou brasileiro, acabei aceitando (o certo é entrar na justiça contra a Claro e incluir a Anatel no processo).

agora uso o Calls Blacklist depois de algumas semanas incluindo os numeros nem lembrava mais desse inferno.

I have the app for iphone and they have one for android too. I think you just sign in on the app and it connects. They have the app for Windows too.

hi i use this app to block all unknown numbers and private numbers..

Calls Blacklist - Call Blocker https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.vladlee.easyblacklist&hl=en_IN

there is an option to either ignore or reject the call..since the call itself is rejected i find it better than true caller..

I purchased SFD a while ago. I don't regret my purchase, but I can't recommend SFD unless you enjoy more hardcore rogue-likes. The demo version doesn't really prepare you for the difficulty of the premium version. Even on the easier mode, I found this game to be beyond me. I gave up against the default (hardest) difficulty when one particular boss insisted that it should be able to wreck everything with one chain lighting spell (usually my entire party would either die or be below 20% health after the first attack), regardless of my party configuration. I suspect the best strategy was to kill the boss on turn one, but I never managed to do so. Happily, this attack had a cool-down. Unhappily, I could either spend that time attacking the boss unsuccessfully (it would heal itself, too) or healing myself (it would kill me with another chain lightning spell).

Of course, my response to that painful experience was to buy the chain lightning spell myself, because clearly a spell that is effective at wrecking my party can also be used to wreck my enemies. But it turned out that even in my own hands, all it knew how to do was wreck my party; it doesn't differentiate between friend and foe.

I'm sure some of you are hearing that story with glee and buying SFD. For the rest of you, I recommend Shattered Pixel Dungeon (or one of the many, many other Pixel Dungeon forks) as a far gentler Roguelike. You'll still die a lot, but you'll probably find yourself getting further on each play. I'll note that the game has no ads. It does have IAPs, but they're basically just donations. Forks of GPL games generally don't hide content/cheats behind paywalls, since the immediate response of the community to such shenanigans is to fork the content out from behind the paywall.
