As we get into the middle of February, big publishers pushed major updates to popular apps and there have been some amazing game releases to come out on iOS and Android. One of my most used apps on iOS, gets the attention it deserves on Android in a major update and one of PlayStation’s best game, gets an iOS and Android port that is actually really good. Here are the highlights:

One of the best PSP games got remade for mobile when it released on iOS a few months ago. This week, GTA: Liberty City Stories comes to Android with upgraded visuals, mission design tweaks to allow for better play on the go, and controller support. Best of all, you can now sync your progress cross platform with Rockstar Social Club.

Talon 4.0 for Android
While many people enjoy Fenix for Twitter on Android, Talon is a very nice app that got a huge update. If you use Android tablets, the app now supports split view. For everyone, there’s faster switching of accounts and improvements to the Material Design overall. I always recommend using a third party Twitter app to avoid the unnecessary battery wastage and annoyances from the official one.

Wordpress for iOS has always been an app you use after creating and tweaking your website on your computer. This changes with version 5.9 when WordPress finally gets into the post PC world.
