Otherwise, here’s a look at the five apps games you ought to download this week.
Corgi for Feedly
Corgi retrieves the latest stories from the RSS feeds in your Feedly account puts them on your lock screen, letting you quickly see what’s happening.
nt to see the latest news from your favorite sites every time you turn on your phone? That’s what Corgi is for; the free app pulls stories from your Feedly account’s RSS feeds splashes a preview on your lock screen.
It’s attractive, but Corgi isn’t just there for looks. You can flip through recent stories from all sources with a left swipe, then scroll up to read the article. If a story is abridged, you can tap to view the full thing on the website within the app’s browser, so there’s no switching apps to follow through with reading. The app is new, I hit a couple of navigational bugs along the way, but Corgi has a lot of promise for helping you stay informed throughout the day.
Five Nights at dy’s 3
The primary view is drab, but it’s the creepy creatures that suddenly pop up that make the dy’s games memorable.
As of this writing, three of the top five paid games on ay are Five Nights at dy’s entries, all have been released since August. Really! The horror series—set in a children’s pizza party place (think Chuck E. Cheese’s) overrun at night by the animatronic critters—has become a quick sensation thanks to YouTube reaction videos, the third entry just launched this week.
Five Nights at dy’s 3 ($2.99) takes place 30 years after the earlier games, at an amusement park inspired by the old restaurants gruesome incidents, but the gameplay is very similar. You’ll man security cameras control the ventilation audio systems to try ward off the coming creepers. If they get into the security room, you’re done— there are several nights of this to savor. It’s lo-fi relies on shock value, but clearly dy’s is doing something right.
NCAA h Madness ve
Come Sunday evening, h Madness ve will become an essential destination for college basketball fans on the go.
’re about halfway through the third month of the year, so sports nuts know what that means: h Madness is upon us.

It also has new team pages featured content for finding compelling storylines surrounding the tourney, as well as a revised bracket approach for fantasy fans.
Outwitters
It’s cartoonish silly, but Outwitters has some serious strategy within.
One of the better asynchronous combat games on iOS has finally, finally made the leap to Android—seriously, it’s been a few years— Outwitters deserves the warm welcome. It’s a turn-based affair in which you control a team of creatures trying to take down an enemy base, you’ll have limited resources each turn to move attack. Choose wisely.

Outwitters’ free-to-play design gives you one team a couple of maps to enjoy free, while others can be purchased to add variety more tactical options.
