More family-friendly games
We’re always looking for new and innovative ways to use your phone as a remote or game controller, which has lead us to new social games like FitFlap and Catch Phrase Blitz.FitFlap, by BreakFirst, uses the front-facing camera on the phone to capture players flapping their arms. The harder you flap, the higher pigs on the screen fly to collect coins while dodging obstacles. More into brain games? Catch Phrase Blitz, the classic Hasbro guessing game, is now casting and is sure to bring excitement to your next party. Or try your hand at a more strategic, turn-based gameplay with Tricky Titans by MediaMonks. These giant Titans are standing on top of villages and using large shovels to scoop up houses and throw them at each other.
And still more
Budding photographers will be pleased to know that Pixlr is also available — a fun and powerful photo editor that lets you quickly crop, rotate, and fine-tune any picture. Foodies and travel gurus can now cast their favorites on the Watch Food Network and Watch Travel Channel apps, including Cutthroat Kitchen, Beat Bobby Flay, and Hotel Impossible. And finally for the kiddos, on Pokemon TV dozens of episodes featuring Ash and Pikachu are available for you to watch and rewatch as much as you like.Anyone with a phone or tablet can join the fun. Download these apps from the Play Store or App Store so all of your family and friends can tune in, flap, swing, shout, smash, and dance, or binge on their favorites. A subscription is required for some content.
Happy Casting!
