The mode in which hotspots appear as red dots on the bulls-eye shaped screen turns the traditionally frustrating task of finding WiFi reception into a game.

The Eggs Lite (games)
The Eggs Lite app is the latest in numerous replications of the USSR console game Nu, Pogodi, which in turn originates from the USSR-era cartoon of the same name. Staying true to the game's original format (the screen is laid out with imitation buttons from the original game and the same graphics) users play as a wolf and try to catch as many eggs in a basket as possible. The app is available in a full version as well with additional features like replay and high score tracking.
