Game

Townsmen: This another nice simulation game. You get to build your own medieval city from grounds up. You start your city, decide what jobs the men and women do, manage the town's economy, deal with diverse scenarios and challenging tasks. And the most important thing: keep your townsmen happy. That way they'll work hard and help you build the best town. Here's the link. From the phone search for "townsmen" and install. Happy building!

Movies app

Crackle: This app allows you to watch movies and tv shows for free on your phone. The selection is nothing to get super excited about, but then it's free. The experience varies depending on your phone and your connection. It does work over 3G, 4G or WiFi and the only draw back is that every 10 minutes or so you have to watch a commercial. But it's free. Here's the link. From the phone search for "crackle" and install.
