Hello to everyone. I would like to offer some suggestions for time-consuming apps to help fill the void left by TV regurgitating last years challenges. The Tribez is right up there for those who love building, collecting resources and managing (eventually) a cast of hundreds. Graphics are superb, with minute attention to detail and several months of gameplay in store. The Simpsons Tapped Out is funny and a visual treat with lots of decorating options and classic sound effects. I've reached level 20 in Tiny Csstle which is not as entertaining as TV but fills a gap. For Disney fans, try Nemos Reef - slow, steady and no stress. For more stress try the classic Smurfs, but be warned, it's a very long haul! Having said all that, I have to conclude that my real favourite is still DragonVale. I.'ve been playing TV, Smurfs. Tribez and DragonVale for over a year now and still log in every day to check for new challenges. I have occasionally spent small amounts of real money on in-app purchases but ALL of the apps mentioned above are fully playable without needing real cash. With apologies to readers who have other devices, I play on iPad and don't know if all these apps are available on all platforms.
