Games

I am not a gamer, but I need some games which I play during free time when I am bored. I keep trying out different games but remove after some time. I have played Subway Surfers, Flow Free, Flow Free: Bridges, Unblock Me for a long time but finally removed them. Following is the list of games I still have.

• Sudoku Free
• Classic Word Solo
• Drop
• Flappy Bird: This game was removed by the developer due to guilt over what he considered to be its addictive nature and overuse. Since then numerous similar games have been added to Google Play Store. However, I have managed to keep the original game. My highest score is 45.

Launcher

Finally, I have installed Google Now Launcher to replace the default launcher on my mobile.
