This made me look to see if I could find the original Angry Birds in my App Store purchase history. It's there, but its been renamed "AB Classic" – I couldn't find it by searching, so I had to scroll a loooong way down the list of apps until I found it near the bottom. Its position in the list was accompanied by other such classics as Flight Control, Doodle Jump and geoDefense, none of which have (or had) ads. I don't install or play games on my phone anymore.
- _the_inflator 4y ago+10 for "I don't install or play games on my phone anymore." Same here. I gave me this rule: No games on phones or private work computers, as well as no crap like Facebook. I might expand this rule to other non-productivity apps as well, since gaming on a phone is a time drainer and distractor for me.

I still catch myself about once a week mindlessly logging into something while waiting for a process longer than 10 seconds to finish.

- _the_inflator 4y agoForgot about this one. Nice tip.
- propogandist 4y agothis can be done with NetGuard (Android) or apps like AdGuard Pro (iOs). Both function as VPNs and allow DNS filtering (load custom host lists). Essential software and should be the first app to be installed on a device.
- bombcar 4y agoI’ve started to mainly focus on games that have Ana drive community years after release - often indicated by an open source implementation of the engine. Thing the various source ports of Doom, OpenWM, OpenTTD, etc.
- selectodude 4y agoRIP Flight Control. I miss that game a lot.
- apple4ever 4y agoMe too. It was so so good.
- binkHN 4y ago> AB Classic Wow. Couldn't even leave the words Angry Birds in the title.
- lostlogin 4y agoYou need SEO for this crap. Search engine obfuscation.
- werdnapk 4y agoNetflix's games have no ads and have no annoying pop-ups... it's the only stuff I download for my kids to play with. Everything else is cluttered with too much junk for my liking.
- jnsie 4y agoOn iOS Apple Arcade is pretty good also. No ads or other nonsense.
- albrewer 4y ago> Flight Control I've yet to find a good substitute for this game. Nothing else is paced quite right.
