If youre using the same password for any two separate apps, youre setting yourself up for sorrow.

TNWs Matthew Hughes says theSony Audio Recorderapp is a great solution as well.

It reminds you several times throughout the day that you are, in fact, a mortal.
And that means youre going to die.
Most of them tweak a few contrast and brightness prefs and watermark your images.

The games we love to play
Fortnite on Android
Yes, Fortnite is everywhere now.
No, were not ashamed to admit we got excited when it came out on Android.
HQ Trivia
This one isnt new, but we cant stop playing.
You have to wait and play HQ Trivia with everyone, and thats part of its charm.
Altos Odyssey
This beautiful endless runner is one of the few pure gems on Android.
Hello Quantum was designed by physicist James Wootton.
Its a game that works a bit like a combination of Sudoku and Go and its devilishly difficult.
The point of the game is to learn how quantum gates and qubits work.
Its definitely a game thatll challenge almost any intellect.
And by reading, we mean comic books of course.
Amazons ComiXology still makes one of the finest comic book viewers available.
Luckily, in 2018, it saw a major redesign that catapulted it back into the spotlight.
Its definitely worth checking out.
Google also dropped a barebonesPodcastsapp this year for those who dont need a lot of bells and whistles.
If not, theres always 2019.
Have a great year!
