Kingsman- The Golden Circle
Android, iOS
Free
Fans of the Kingsman series awaiting the second movie, set to release next week, can play the official mobile game Kingsman—The Golden Circle in the meanwhile. It is a third-person action game involving stunts and characters from Kingsman movies. The similarity to the original characters is remarkable. The gameplay is quite unique, though.

Felt: Birthday Cards, Greeting Cards

Split Screen Creator
Free
Android
One of the highlights of Android Nougat is the split screen mode. Unfortunately, Android Nougat is running on just 13% of devices. The split screen creator can make up for it by allowing users to use two apps side by side on the same screen. However, it works a bit differently. You can’t swipe up to use it with any app. You will have to classify the apps you want to run side-by-side by adding the split screen widget on the homescreen first.
