hi alex; well i expect that the iPhone will do more than the phone i had. but i generally try to keep my expectations low when it comes to new hardware or software. your reply was very comprehensive. I appreciate it and will save the email. i have had fun playing trivia crack although i hate the ads. and i'd love it if the rs games had an iPhone version. i love their versions of uno and monopoly. will check out the link and the apps and get back to you, max On Apr 18, 2015, at 11:01 PM, Alex Hall wrote:
