Are there any apps like sefaria but instead of a scrolling UI it's page turning like.

I hate scrolling and would rather swipe left and right like a real book/sefer.
My Tapatalk notifications don't always work.

If you have the pdf of the sefer then there are some good pdf page flipper apps that mimic page turning

It's that time of year again. I have $13 in Google play credits expiring. I want to get a useful app. But can't think of anything. I browsed through the last couple of pages but nothing seemed to interest me much.

Anything new that you discovered recently?

I wish there was an app that can give you a credit to some store using a Google play balance.

I have a ring camera for my yard. I want to mount a tablet to my kitchen wall for a screen but don't want my kids to access anything. I would also like my smart thermostat and smart switch apps on it. What app is the best for parental control?

There is a whole bunch of them, I don't know if Google's version is the best

You may need to install a 2nd app which constantly taps the screen to keep it on, some of these apps shut of the camera after some time.

If your smart thermostat is also Alexa controlled, then Amazon sells a home control version of their tablet

You mean it won't keep playing the camera feed?

Do you have this? It seems like it has a proximity sensor. Is that a problem for shabbos?

It's that time of year for me. Which app should I get with my expiring $15 Google play credit?

I guess I can get a book too but I doubt I'll read it unless it's something really good
