Come right on in, those of you who got electronic items like IPADS and Kindles, etc., for the holidays, and let's talk about what's new or old that we like on them and share tips.
The biggest tip I know about any i device (iPad, i phone) is to be sure you've turned it off. That does not mean clicking the top once, it means clicking and holding that top button down until you see a red arrow, THAT turns it off. Why run out of batteries?
We've had several requests for games we might enjoy free or otherwise on our new devices, and they are getting lost in larger discussions, so since this one is for this purpose, let's list some we really like.
These do not have to be played with any other person online:
Some super games you can enjoy entirely by yourself and play against a computer are:
1. Parcheesi: If you, like me, like Parcheesi, then get Ludo Pro, it's fabulous. The pieces are so big on an IPAD it's like playing the real thing.
2. Checkers Free by Optime software allows you to play a computer at several levels.
3. Crack the Code Free is what we used to call in the old days Mastermind and it's really fun and supposedly is good for the brain.
4. There's a wonderful Hearts+ Free which is as real as any real card game, sounds and all and it's lots of fun.
5. Quiz Quiz Quiz is a Trivia challenge which is also very addictive.
6. 7, 8, 9, and 10: There's Tic Tac Toe Free and Free Cell, and Cut the Rope, of course many versions of Angry Birds, none of these have to be played with anybody else. I actually like some of the children's games my grandson (5) plays on the IPAD, like A Monster Ate My Homework. .
Optime has some great games and most of them are free.
What do you like to play on YOUR device?
(This is not something to play with but I do have to recommend GPS Plus which is free from the Nav something people. It's a marvelous GPS system, better, in my opinion, than the Garmin or the Magellan, and for 9.99 a year it will talk to you as you drive. That's the only cost so far and it has saved my bacon more than once: you've always got your phone with you and now you can have a GPS on that phone, free).
