OK, was thinking this was maybe only of interest to English Soccer fans but then someone told me not to be so dumb .. so here it is - MUFC is a vertical App that scans the net for any new information about the 'Most Popular Football team in the world" and presents it using the unique pleasantries of METRO.

Another great show Laura, nice to have you back!
Hey, since you like Wordrix I was wondering if you've tried the new Numerix? It's Wordrix... for Numbers! Devilishly simple game that is deceptively hard to master!

Yes, nice to have you back!

As if I don't already spend enough time looking for those elusive 6-7 letter words, now I am spending time looking for combinations of Numbers. Worth a look.

A great new app to check out is Activity Roulette.

It basically has a bunch of categories for you to randomly "spin" to discover new activities to try.
