Even with a Halloween update bringing some players back into the fold, only the most devout players remain catching and battling Pokemon on a regular basis. Still, even with a diminished population of active gamers, there is a need to remain safe while playing the game, particularly while attacking Gyms.

As the number of new monsters to catch decreases, and the level of your current Pokemon increases, the one thing left that can sustain and engage the dedicated trainer are Gyms; geographic locations that members of Team Mystic, Valor, and Instinct can battle over to control. Aside from local bragging rights, these Gyms provide Pokecoins, an in-game currency that can be redeemed in the app’s built-in shop for rewards like PokeStop Lures, Incense, PokeBalls, Egg Incubators, and extra space for Pokemon and items. To get these coins, you must either battle the occupying team until no Pokemon remain, or find space in a friendly gym, before placing one of your monsters in the gym and claiming your coins. The more Gyms you hold at one time before cashing in, the more coins you’ll have. Then, it’s just a short 21-hour wait before you can repeat the process and get those sought-after coins.

Still, whether you’re a trainer yourself, or the parent of one, these in-game locations may not be safe to congregate at. Some may be in less-than-ideal locations in your neighborhood that aren’t 100% safe, while others may be too remote and away from houses and communities in case the unimaginable occurs. No matter the reason, it pays to follow a few simple tips while battling Gyms to make sure each gaming session is as fun as it is safe.

Battle With Friends
With some gyms hosting Pokemon with particularly high combat points, attacking gyms with friends on your team is not only effective in staying safe while strolling around the neighborhood, but can make the process of taking a high level gym far quicker and entertaining than it would be flying solo. Moreover, going with a friend ensures that you get wherever you need to go, and that nothing happens to you or your buddy while you’re gaming

Don’t Battle Gyms Far Away from Others
While most Gyms are located in places frequented by pedestrian traffic, like monuments, churches, or historic landmarks, others may be off the beaten path that see far fewer visitors. It may be tempting to go after these gyms since there is less of a chance that competing teams will battle you for control of the gym, but their remote locations can also be potentially dangerous — whether someone decides to mug you at this gym, or if you fall and sprain an ankle, help won’t arrive quickly, To lower the odds something awful like that happens, leave those backwater gyms for other trainers to claim.

Visit Gyms During the Day
Following similar logic to the previous tips, you’ll want to be playing while there are many people around and about. As the days become shorter and the temperature drops, this means you should be playing between dawn and dusk, both because autumn and winter aren’t as conducive to an outdoor video game like PokemonGO, and because common sense would conclude that you’re less likely to deal with vengeful players, thieves, or other delinquents in broad daylight.

Maintain Situational Awareness
This one should be an obvious recommendation (the loading screen for the game even says this for legal reasons), but considering that people have died playing PokemonGO because they were distracted and unaware of surrounding hazards, it deserves repeating here. If you’re going to spend 30 minutes battling Pokemon, do so somewhere that has clear lines of sight of your surroundings, is outside of roadways, and, when possible, where you can have your back against a building or wall. Not only does this give you a good view of the pedestrian and vehicular traffic around you, it gives you protection from potential muggers coming at you outside of your field of vision. 

While we hope that you never have to put these tips to the test in real life, these tips are intended to give players of all ages a sense of security while gaming by lowering the odds of something bad happening to you. To this end, strive to be the very best, but keep in mind that your safety matters more than becoming a Pokemon master.

<![CDATA[Flip Diving Could Be Your New Gaming Obsession]]> https://www.psafe.com/en/blog/flip-diving-new-gaming-obsession/ Mon, 03 Oct 2016 22:11:12 +0000 https://www.psafe.com/en/blog/?p=4338 Flip Diving, from MiniClip.com, is a free Android app. There are several lookalike apps out there, but this is the one you want. If you have ever wanted to perfect your high diving skills from a variety of platforms, then this is the action game app for you.

Immediately after you download the game, you will read a disclaimer: The following game features diving stunts modeled carefully based on professional stunt and cliff divers. Accordingly, no one should attempt or re-enact any dive or activity performed in this game.

You must agree in order to continue. From there, you will be taken to the main screen. Hit the flashing green arrow button to carry on.

Diving in Flip Diving

You begin as the Diver, an athletic, trained cliff diver who is a great go-to guy — and the only free option from the start. Your character will perform a basic dive. An interactive tutorial will help you learn how to control your diver. Simply press and release the screen at key times to perform the perfect dive. You can easily access the tutorial again from the dive screen.

After that’s over, you can click on the bottom of the screen to choose a new character. There’s Big Dave, though he’s a bit unstable and sluggish. For a big splash though, you just can’t beat him. Or perhaps you want to play as the Businessman or the Bodybuilder?

As you progress, you can unlock new characters with different skills and special jumps or rotations. You may purchase new divers or you can test your luck by spinning the wheel. Watch the videos to earn coins to unlock new characters or tricks and make sure to use your free daily spin.

Back to Diving

After you are all set with a new character, you have to position your diver to earn the most coins. There may be coins floating in the air or in a crate on the water with a hidden bonus inside.

Backflips and belly flops void your dive. Make sure that you release your diver with enough time to avoid those problems. But if you do well, you will be rewarded with coins, so you can earn characters and new locations.

Playing Flip Dive

Now that’s you’ve found a great new game, make sure your Android smartphone has the battery life to play it! Install PSafe’s PowerPRO and receive tips to keep your battery lasting longer than ever.

<![CDATA[The Secret Cat Collecting Mini-Game in Nougat]]> https://www.psafe.com/en/blog/secret-cat-collecting-mini-game-nougat/ Fri, 12 Aug 2016 19:52:47 +0000 https://www.psafe.com/en/blog/?p=2906 If any lesson has been learned in 2016, it’s that people love catching things with their phones. Just recently, the pop culture craze of catching Pokemon erupted when the semi-virtual reality game Pokemon Go was released. And now… cats??

“Android Neko” is an Easter Egg game that can only be accessed when you dig deep into your phone. Keep in mind this game is only accessible to those who have the Android 7.0 Nougat, which is planned to be released in early August. Here’s how to do it.

  1. Locate the settings app.
  2. Select “About Phone.”
  3. Tap on the “Android Version” button three times.
  4. Locate the big “N.” Tap on this three times, then press and hold.
  5. Find your notification panel — pull it down twice. This will expose the “quick settings” option.
  6. Click “Edit.”
  7. You should find a “???? Android Easter Egg” button on this screen. There should also be a cat head on it. Drag it up to your current tiles.
  8. After dragging it to your current tiles, the “???? Android Easter Egg” button should transform into a tile named “Empty Dish.”
  9. Tap on the empty dish. This should bring up options of foods to feed your new kitty. You get to choose between four items: treat, chicken, bits, or fish.
  10. Select which food option you desire and it should take over the empty dish tile.
  11. You’re almost there! Wait a little and you should receive a notification that reads: “A Cat is Here,” from “Android Neko.”
  12. You should now have a cat notification. You can click on this to view your collection of cats.
  13. You can rename your cat by tapping on it. If you press and hold the cat, you can share a high resolution image of your friend to whatever app you desire.

You’re finished! It’s much easier than trespassing on your neighbor’s lawn to capture a Pikachu. Android has not released any further details about this hidden game.
