Minecraft's Better Together version finally launches today for Nintendo Switch, and a new trailer has dropped to play up its cross-platform capabilities.
Xbox One and Nintendo Switch owners can now play Minecraft as if they were on the same platform but notably - as the trailer hammers home - it is just Nintendo and Xbox on board. Not Sony.
Minecraft's Better Together Update (which is in fact an entirely new game, although free to existing owners) is also compatible with Minecraft on Windows 10, iPhone, iPad and Android devices.

Calling itself, rather curiously, 'Instagram for Windows 10 Tablets', by which I assume it's for any Windows 10 device on an ARM chipset, this official client has had a big update overnight. New to be enjoyed here are a type mode in Stories and various video modes and the possibility to send a choice of 'replay' or 'view once' media.

From the developer of the terrific comes this new News/RSS feed reader. I have to be honest and say that the UI had me all in a spin, it's too easy to get confused and be unable to get back to browsing and adding new feeds without closing the app down(!), but I suspect a little extra refinement would sort this out. Not that news readers are in short supply, even under Windows 10 Mobile, but add this to the pile, at least, and watch for updates.

This won't be news to most AAWP readers, since we've been tracking the beta versions of the UWP implementation of Podcast Lounge for a while, with numerous . But today the commercial app Podcast Lounge 2 is formally launched for all Windows 10 users, on phone, tablet, desktop, etc. I've never seen a beta testing period as extended and as in depth, but the winners are its users, as it arrives fully rounded, with depth in terms of functions and podcast discovery.

If you're not 'down with the cool kids' (a phrase which itself - ironically - declares me as NOT one of the cool kids!) then you may need some help deciphering slang you hear in town and online in chat rooms. Which is where the Urban Dictionary comes in. It's a crowd-sourced (and lightly curated) repository of slang and miscellany and... hard to access on mobile, since the web site's not responsive. So a client is needed and this is where this new UWP app for Windows 10 Mobile comes in.

This isn't a new idea, but Flow Mail is a new UWP app that aims to be more polished than the average web wrapper, in this case for four popular webmail systems. In fairness, it claims most functionality under Windows 10 on Desktop, but it still works for Windows 10 on phones, so let's dive in.

Encrypted databases, or secrets/password managers, are always a popular application genre, and there are quite a few in the Store for Windows 10 Mobile. This isn't new, but I'd never heard of it until surfaced it today. It's slick and attractive, especially on AMOLED screens, but it's ultimately very much a 'v1' project and it's a shame it never went any further.
