Unroll.me
Unroll.me can make quick work of your junk mail.
If you’re not diligent about unchecking boxes anytime you buy something or create an account online, or you don’t tap the “unsubscribe” link with regularity, then you probably have far too many junk newsletter promotional subscriptions in your inbox. It happens to all of us, it’s a nuisance to try fix. But that’s exactly what Unroll.me is for.

From there, you can simply swipe to unsubscribe (or keep them if you want). It’s a dead-simple way to address an everyday annoyance, it’s totally free to boot.
Final Fantasy Dimensions II
It looks retro, but Dimensions II is a new stalone quest.
You’ll find more than a dozen different Final Fantasy adventures on the ay Store, including a mix of old-school ports from the classic console games various spinoffs— now Final Fantasy Dimensions II ($15) is here to grow the stack even larger. In this case, it’s a br new, mobile-exclusive role-playing journey about time-traveling heroes who must b together to save the world.
That’s pretty typical Final Fantasy fare, by large, that describes this entire stalone game: turn-based battles, eccentric names, quirky character designs, slick retro-inspired graphics. But it’s also a bit awkward in some ways, because Dimensions II started off as a free-to-play game in some other countries, but now it’s a $15 premium experience that lacks some of the depth you’d expect from the series. But if you love Final Fantasy, many of the familiar staples are here.
Genius Kitchen
Tip: don’t watch while eating a mediocre microwaved meal.
Can’t get enough of cooking TV shows? Feast your eyes on Genius Kitchen, which has arrived on Android to deliver your fill of culinary video. The app promises more than 150 hours of programming, with more still on the horizon.
Genius Kitchen is home to familiar TV shows like Simply Nigella, Iron Chef, Bourdain’s No Reservations The yover, but it also has shorter recipe videos with inventive premises—such as the zza Skulls that have racked up an amazing 72 million views on Facebook over the last week. It’s all free supported by commercials, so you won’t need to plug in a cable or satellite login, plus written recipes appear in the app once you’ve watch the related video. Hy!
S Card Collection
Konami’s S franchise gets the collectible card treatment.
Nothing captures the thrill of professional soccer like… collectible cards automated action? it, that can’t be right— yet that’s the approach seen in Konami’s new S Card Collection. EA’s rival FIFA series uses player cards for its popular Ultimate mode, but lets you play out the actual matches yourself.
On the other h, this o Evolution Soccer spinoff hles all of the moment-to-moment gameplay itself while you watch. It’s all about the collection aspect here, as you accumulate cards based on top soccer stars from club national teams alike, unlock more along the way through online matchups solo play. It’s light on interactions, but soccer fans might still dig the chase for rewards better cards.
Sheltered
Stick together maybe you’ll survive… maybe.
“Sheltered” might describe your plans for the impending winter, but in the Android game Sheltered ($4), the situation is much more dire. The nuclear holocaust has arrived, you’ll control one of the lucky families who made it out alive. However, since you’ll need plenty of food, medicine, tools to survive in the bunker, that means tough encounters on the surface harsh decisions along the way.
It all looks sounds a bit like Bethesda’s freemium Fallout Shelter, albeit with more depth less of a cartoonish tone, but it’s not quite as harsh as something like This r of Mine. Still, if you like the idea of a post-apocalyptic survival simulation on your phone, Sheltered is equal parts bleak compelling.
