Players can now also drop elements such as balloons into levels in order to help reach a solution, and there are now Level Solutions that will walk you through, step-by-step everything you need to do in order to complete a level you’re stuck on.

Just head over to your Settings menu and Set the Savings feature to Off. COMPRESS DATA USAGE WITH Get up to fi ve times more from your ONAVO EXTEND monthly data plan without changing the way you use your phone The advent of 4G-compatible smartphones was a big leap forward for mobile use. Superfast download speeds boosted productivity and made media consumption on smartphones a breeze – but 4G also came at a price in the form of expensive monthly deals. Now, however, there’s no need to compromise. With Onavo Extend, big phone bills – along with slow internet speeds – could well be a thing of the past. Onavo Extend compresses any data you use over 4G, 3G, Edge and LTE networks, so you get a staggering fi ve times more out of your monthly data plan. Working with text, images and video, Onavo even promises to save on the amount of data you use when you’re abroad – perfect if you’re worried about those over-the-top roaming charges. The way Onavo Extend works is by setting up its own virtual private network (VPN), automatically confi guring a profi le with your permission so that any data you receive from the internet is sent to Onavo’s cloud- based compression service fi rst. Following that, the compressed data is sent back to your device, resulting in you using a much leaner, faster and more effi cient version of the internet. In this tutorial we’re going to show you just how easy it is to set up Onavo Extend. You know how to download an app, so head off to the App Store and we’ll get started. You’ll need to agree to Onavo’s terms and conditions fi rst, and it’s well worth a read through. The developer says it takes privacy seriously, so make sure you’re happy with exactly what the app does before you decide to commit.
