A brilliant App that I found a few months ago. I am OCD about storing contacts from people I meet and CC must have saved me at least 30mins per day.

My other most used apps are

Uber
UberEATS
FB
LinkedIn
Poker
Google Maps
DropBox
Notes +
And many many more.

I literally run my life through my devices but am not the kind to sit there looking st the phone when with someone else. It’s all about how you set/allow the notifications :)

Backgammon, Words (Scrabble) and Crosswords for when on the throne

I use google maps for routing but someone else was telling me about Waze as well so will try that now
by the by, interesting and read and I agree with most of what is said

Have you tried eXtreme Gammon 2? It's excellent on a PC, slightly less so mobile, but still mightily powerful. Worth the money if you want to improve.

Unfortunately that's not available yet. iPad Pro next upgrade, perhaps?

How can there be anything to guess when it grows out of your forehead?

I stopped playing PC games when the carpal tunnel thing hit many years ago, used to be part of a team and leauge and all that blah blah but got bored with it plus there was SO much online cheating in PC that frankly just gave up

ps3 and now ps4 (garden warfare king...yeah baby! :rofl:)
although having said that I did make a very very sweet rig a few months ago and installed the HTC VIVE and learned all I have to about it coz now I am selling that stuff
VR is the new thing my man, the day MS manages to combine Apple's SIRI, Xbox's motion detection, some form of augmented keyboard, smaller and more versatile motion controllers, they will launch MS Virtual OS and boom. The kit (vive or Oculus) is heavy and too many wires for now but I think 3-4 years down the road, this VR thing will explode.
and what do you mean want to improve? I am the king in backgammon...on my good days :rofl::rofl::fingerscrossed:
