Flighty is a good app. Will try out Railbound

I bought Railbound. Mostly because it reminded me of a fantastic game called "Trainyard". Railbound has better visuals. But the puzzle difficulty of Trainyard was so much better and satisfying. One of the best puzzlers ever to have graced app store
 
I’d have been snarky and given Apollo a special award outside these categories just to rub Reddit’s nose in it.

Hey congrats Ben Brode and your team at Second Dinner for Marvel Snap winning. Always love Ben Brode's team back when they were with Blizzard making Hearthstone
 
Wait WTH?!

Something is REALLY wrong with Apple's evaluation or understanding of Applications in their ecosystem, or macrumors editor has a serious mis-type, or somebody at Apple is high (maybe our editor too)?

How on earth does an Education application like DuoLingo get set into delight and fun? Sure I get how the application has that funny psycho bird but learning is supposed to be fun. But it's an educational app first and foremost.

Words don’t mean anything anymore. I mean wtf even are these categories. They’re like bad Jeopardy topics.
