Pip-Toy [Peripherals In Phone - Toy] will help you traverse the wastelands using the built in compass and maps. But wait, there's more! If you act now, you'll also get an angle finder, stat view, and flashlight to boot! STATS shows the current day's (steps, calories burned, minutes of exercise, etc.). Please note, HealthKit data is only available on supported devices, such as iPhones. If installed on tablets, the classic flashlight screen is presented in glorious monochrome in place of the STATS view. Now you can install your phone (assuming it fits) into a PIP-Boy device that came with SPECIAL editions of Fallout 4 and launch the app in Landscape-Cosplay mode (screen resize/reposition)! Just in time for Halloween! Please note: When changing the orientation (portrait/landscape), the app must be closed and reopen for the change to take effect. So with this app on your device, grab your favorite radiated cola and head for the high ground to avoid the fallout! This is an unofficial, fan made, app inspired by Bethesda's Fallout series of games.

About

Flick for Plex

Your Plex library grew faster than you could watch it. Flick is the fastest way to get back on top of it — one card, one thumb, one decision at a time. Sign in with Plex, pick a library, and start swiping. Right for yes, left for no, up if you have already seen it, down to decide later. Every decision writes straight back to your Plex server. CHOOSE WHAT A SWIPE MEANS Flick asks what you are here to do before you start, and the swipes follow: • Tidy up — keep the good stuff, send the rest to a review playlist • Watchlist — build your Plex watchlist from what you already own • Seen it? — fix a watch history that drifted out of sync • Custom list — fill any playlist on your server Switch mode any time from the top of the deck. The same four gestures mean the same four things in every mode, so there is nothing to relearn. MORE THAN SWIPING Tap any card to rate it out of five, toggle watched, add it to your Plex watchlist, or file it into any playlist — and create new playlists without leaving the deck. Sort by newest, oldest, A–Z, year, top rated or last watched. Narrow the deck to just the unwatched, or just the watched. It is your library, on your terms. NOTHING GETS DELETED BY ACCIDENT No swipe can ever delete media. Titles you bin go to a Plex playlist you can review — in Plex, at your own pace, with the actual delete under your control. Permanent deletion is off by default, has to be turned on deliberately in Settings, and always confirms first. Undo is one tap away, always. BUILT FOR SELF-HOSTERS • Connects straight to your server — there is no middleman and no account beyond Plex • Your Plex token is stored in the iOS Keychain and never leaves your device • No analytics, no tracking, no data collection • Works with servers you own and servers shared with you • Picks the fastest route to your server automatically, at home or on cellular • Remembers exactly where you left off in every library ONE PAYMENT, IF YOU WANT IT Flick is free and stays fully functional. If you would rather not see ads, one small payment removes them forever. No subscription, no account, nothing to cancel. Requires a Plex account and access to at least one Plex Media Server. Flick is an independent application and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Plex, Inc. Plex and Plex Media Server are trademarks of Plex and used under a license.
