Ironic that we now get a free download of the song used in Samsung's Gear ad.

Yaaay. I am enjoy Lorde.

But what is it with apps that ask when you first open them "would you like for this app to give notifications" and then ignoring your yes or no?

'Angry Birds Go' - no, I don't want notifications from you. But I still have to go into the settings and fix that myself after I keep getting reminders to play even though I told them "no".

'12 Days of Gifts' app - yes! I would like notifications from you! I never received a notification about this, but they're all set to appear that I should.

First music vdeo i've ever downloaded... So how do I view in horizontal mode without the album artwork appearing?

Check in your Videos app rather than your Music app. :)
