Review Your Apps/Games Here [All Platforms] !!

There are so many threads discussing which is a better device based on hardware. But its the apps installed on the phone which makes it stand out from other.

So this is where we will be putting the apps/games which we find worth sharing.

Rules:
1. Must provide Google PlayStore/Apple AppStore/Windows Store link for the app/game. If not there, an official website/thread link.
2. Mention if it requires Root (most of unrooted phone users will download without even knowing).
3. What you like/dislike.
4. You can review something which has been reviewed with you viewpoints.
5. Provide your rating.

So lets begin.

App Name : State Bank Freedom Plus

Type : Banking

Root : Not Required

Pros : This is a new app by SBI and is far far better than the previous crappy one. It's lightning fast and fluid. A very well made app and a MUST HAVE for SBI account holder.

Cons : Not much. since it's new, some features like recharging mobile are yet to be included.

My Rating : 5/5

^Thanks for notifying. Been a user of freedom since long. The new UI is really really good. Seems like SBI hired new devs. :p

Anyway, from the user reviews two things apart from recharge facility, come out-

1) You can't add an NEFT beneficiary from the app itself. :eek:

2) Timing has been restricted to 8am tp 8pm, seriously ?

I use it mostly for recharge (99%), and 1% for transfer, as it's the fastest transfer mode available in country yet. And both of these features are missing. :(
