Does anyone have any mobile games to recommend to the FG crew? I've been looking at Mini-Motorways but I was wondering if anyone has played it? Throw some favs in here and spread the word.

Hi all. Since I've been here and over the past year being an admin I've tried to make small incremental changes alongside the updated site, in line with what you guys want. After all, this place is all of ours. Thanks for answering the FG research poll - if you haven't, please add your answers to the separate pinned thread in the announcements. So in short, I currently have an android app for the FG forum in beta mode. It has its pros and cons which I will explain when its live and available in the play store but wanted to let you guys know what will be available soon. Thanks to a few that have been testing it somewhat over the past week. Hope you like it when it comes. Even just for the notifications to people who have Android phones it should be a good addition. An apple app I will look at, please note that any change takes an amount of time to implement. Lastly, please remember though, this just adds another choice to access the forum. There will be many changes still to the forum via the other ways which I'll explain over this next few days, such as a way to intergrate twitch feeds and updating the video section (which are two things you won't be able to see via the app). Thanks FG Lee

Started a new thread as the other got derailed. Will copy over the key inital info where it came from. It went into beta today for PC, Android and Xbox. Switch won't get beta access although they are part of the live release. The update adds features yet to appear on console - stained glass, parrots, coarse dirt and perhaps most importantly, world conversion. PC folk can download the Minecraft Better Together Update beta now via the Xbox Insider App. On Android, it will be available to those who have already bought the game via the Google Play Store. Worlds you have been building and playing on already will be present in the Better Together Update, and if you play with a world from Xbox One and Nintendo Switch then you'll get extra world generated for you when you reach the edge of your map. Gotta be honest, Sony look like proper dicks not getting with cross-play on this and the longer it goes, the worse it'll get.

http://kotaku.com/pokemon-go-players-requesting-refunds-over-lack-of-trac-1784616329 With the broken in-game tracking patched out and third-party services getting shut down, Pokémon Go players are now requesting refunds for in-app purchases, and in many cases they’re getting them. A Reddit thread started earlier today is steadily filling with stories of players requesting refunds for their in-app purchases through Google Play or iTunes, citing that Pokémon Go’s latest update broke the functionality they’d made the purchases to take advantage of. When the game’s tracking was working, nearby Pokémon would be listed on screen, along with a series of steps vaguely denoting how far away they were from the player. Players could then select a Pokémon, tap the compass and follow directions to hopefully capture the creature they were after. The three-step glitch, which showed all nearby Pokémon the furthest possible distance from the player, made tracking difficult. Yesterday’s game update removed tracking altogether, leaving just a list of nearby Pokémon without distances or the ability to select one and track. Players had been making due with third-party tracking programs likePokevision, which used Go developer Niantic’s API data, but as of this morning, many of the more popular apps have been shut down for unspecified (but pretty obvious) reasons. So now players are requesting refunds, citing that the game’s functionality has been altered to the point where the original plans for those in-app purchases are no longer viable. They purchased Pokémon Gocurrency to buy items to track and capture Pokémon, and while they can still capture random creatures they come across, it’s not the same thing. To test the process, I hopped into iTunes, went to my purchase history and reported a problem with my most recent purchase, a $9.99 buy made back on July 9. It went through without a hitch. Other players report similar success going through the automated process. Meanwhile, Google Play’s automated policy only allows for refunds on purchases made within the past 48 hours, though Redditors are reporting success getting earlier purchases refunded by using the option to have Google support call them. It remains to be seen how refunds will affect player accounts, or howPokémon Go developer Niantic will respond.
