I think that was the initial idea behind Pocket but no idea how it has developed since then.

The main thing is a script to stop any media playing and turn off the screen after x minutes, so I can fall asleep watching YouTube or listening to something. There's probably already an app for that but this is pretty customizable.

Another stupid use is putting the phone on silent while using the camera app because Samsung won't let you turn off the camera shutter sound.

Tasker. Basically an interface for writing scripts for your phone. Even if you don't have a use case in the beginning you'll start finding things to do with it.

Oh I didn't know about this. You're talking about The Familiar, right? I don't know if I'm up for another 5 books like this but now I really want to try.

If you want something really wild by him you can try Valis. Going in blind or not won't really make a difference.

A speaker too. So you can mess with your pets while away or spy on your spouse. What an amazing product idea /s

Definitely House of Leaves. A story inside of a story, inside of a story, with all narrators being just a bit crazy. Text of different fonts, going all over the place and even upside down based on the story. Just make sure to get the physical copy.

Is there a difference at this point? If it doesn't automatically correct you, you don't have to correct it back.

At this point its main function is adding apostrophes and tildes to words. About half the time it does that when it's not needed and needs correction. Eg. the first "its" in this comment.

I only watched it much later as an adult, maybe that's what I'm missing.

Finally someone who agrees about poltergeist. Most people seem to like it even though it has aged pretty badly.

Don't really have a normal camera. I have a GoPro Hero 4 (ancient, I know) which I take with me swimming. Once you get used to it, underwater photos look amazing. I want to get a actual camera too but worry I'll keep regretting not carrying it with me places. So potato phone camera it is.
