addyour own customitems, too. Better still, you can share

andcollaborate on lists with others in real time– family

members, say, or friends planning aparty. It’s

also possible to keep multiple lists runningat the

sametime.Überliste is sleekly designed and easy

completely freeof ads andin-app purchases.

Downloaded
more than 10
million times in
just its first four
days, the latest
mobile gamebased on the Pokémon
franchise isalready guaranteed to be a
colossal hit. Unlike the hugely popular
PokémonGo, however, there’s no
augmented reality ‘gotta catch ‘emall’
element this time.Instead, gameplay
centres aroundPokémonbattles,
similar to those found in Nintendo
console Pokémongames. The twist
here is that you can play
3v3 or in co-op mode,
as well as recruiting and
levelling upnew trainers
andPokémon.
